Yeah, they trying to make some spectacle entertainment sport kinda thing out of this like those gamer matchups where they play like DotA or CoD or LoL, but poker for me is more about intimacy and self-responsibility than anything else. Not sure about this.

well lots of famous names onboard, you know so called poker pros... so for all of us lame amateurs this is a great chance to take a peek at our idols and learn a few secrets of the trade. without any doubt 300 hours of digital content is a true attraction, as long as this content is hardcore porn.

Not much for a prize there after all that fuss, for professional players. They will have to share just 100.000$. Probably from the lowest prizes ever, considering it will be split between team members. Pretty much a wast of time for them

I never heard something about the Global Poker League, but it sounds like a interesting new series. And Las Vegas was one of the best place to start this new league in my opinion And the prize was verry interesting for semi professional players to make the next step in their poker career.

Huge congratulations to the Montreal Nationals who took down the 2016 Global Poker League Finals. What a fascinating three-day event I have just watched. I am eagerly looking forward to next year's event.
