It looks like it will be an exciting December as there are many things that have been announced to happen.

Let us get into the details!

Manila slowly Re-opening

More and more shops are opening in Manila. Although the president has declared that the country is still in some form of quarantine. The measures have been eased to allow companies to operate. Namely, the gaming companies.

Casino operators are now getting more aggressive to invite players to visit and play and rumors have it legit poker rooms and houses will open soon. 

Are you guys excited?

WSOP Online Main event underway.

The 2020 World Series of Poker $10,000 Freezeout Main Event at GG poker has begun.

big names such as Ognyan “fizoka” Dimov, Ole Schemion, Fabrizio “UknowWhoIam” Gonzalez, Fedor Holz, Wiktor Malinowski, Patrik “Magicpsilo” Antonius, Steven van Zadelhoff, Rui Ferreira, Kristen Bicknell, Christian Rudolph, Julien Martini, and Fabian Quoss has been seen on the online felt and eager to win the event.

The event will be a hybrid online and live version of the $10,000 No-Limit Hold-Em World Championship.

The Main Event has begun for international players on Sunday, Nov. 29, and for the US on Sunday, Dec. 13.

Due to travel restrictions, this year’s format will be unique, where the early-round play will begin online with one entry on WSOP.com or GGPoker.com, before shifting to a live setting for final table action on two continents. Each “bracket” will pay out prize money to tournament entrants independently.

The final table will be a world’s first, as an ultimate heads-up duel for the World Championship, where $1 million in prize money will be on the line courtesy of Caesars Entertainment, Inc. and GGPoker. 

1234 network announces new updates

After a rough start, the 1234 network is now moving forward.

Canceling a few tournaments due to technical issues. They have so far fixed the problems and announced new updates.

Hiring a marketing director that has years of experience in the poker business. The new plan is to slowly create a stable market in each country and grow slowly.

“1234 Network is a network. Our idea is to help players by having skins for each country to be able to cater to their local needs. Each skin will have a lot of exclusive benefits that are only available to certain countries. we have 2 new groups that are interested, However, the market for Taiwan, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Cambodia remains open. there were negotiations but we felt they would not be able to carry our dreams. We will definitely visit those countries soon and extend our reach.”

When we ask about other developments. They gladly shared this exciting news.

“The tournaments will be back very soon. One of our best value tournament will certainly be back. However, we want to make sure everything is fixed so we are slowly moving things. they will be back very soon”

There are rumors you just close a deal and will name 2 new pros. may we know who they are?

“for now you just have to wait for the announcement. All I can say is that the other pro is quite known. However, due to some technical issues. we have to wait for an official announcement. but definitely we will release an update soon”

Looks like there will be more announcement this week.

Stay tuned!
