Poker players enjoy a good gamble, so it’s no surprise that many players also like other card games. In this post we take a look at five such games, including blackjack, pontoon, baccarat, Pai Gow poker, and Dragon Tiger.

A video blog recap of the experiences I had over six days in Madrid while covering an 888poker LIVE event for the first time.

Capturing the sights and sounds of the Spanish capital while enjoying everything the beautiful Casino Gran Via has to offer, shadowing the stars at the felt, chatting it up with fantastic poker ambassadors, and telling the story of the festival’s Main Event.

Often you’ll see poker players decked out in NBA jerseys, sitting courtside at professional basketball games, or talking about and placing bets on league action.

While it would be impossible to compile a definitive list of poker’s biggest NBA fans, as there are just too many, we’ve managed to cobble together a list that singles out the biggest fan of every single NBA team from the poker world.

You might be able to correctly name some NBA-loving poker players off the top of your head, but we’re certain that many who’ve made the list will surprise you!

Next up in our ongoing Get to Know the Poker Media series is Alin Ivanov. For a decade, now, the photographer has been a fixture at poker festivals and events mainly in Europe, but also in other spots around the world.

Alin talks about how he first got into the poker industry, shares some of his favorite stories and memories, and expresses his gratitude to those who he’s befriended and helped him along during his journey.

The poker industry recently got buzzing with the news that veteran media personality Kara Scott would be launching her own podcast for the first time.

In an exclusive conversation during the 888poker LIVE festival in Madrid, we spoke with the company’s proud ambassador about her motivations for launching The Heart of Poker and what the experience of hosting the podcast has been like thus far.

We all get a chuckle from hearing funny poker stories. At the 2020 888poker LIVE festival in Madrid, we asked a handful of the company’s ambassadors to share their funniest poker stories with us.

In this video, we hear from Vivian Saliba, Ana Marquez, 2014 WSOP Main Event Champion Martin Jacobson, Kara Scott, and David Tuchman.
