As both a player and a fan of the game that exploded in 2003 when Chris Moneymaker took down the main event after qualifying online, it is great to see this years’ WSOPE packed with players at all levels, cultures and ages.

With poker dominating TV and YOUTUBE channels all over the world and the recent new series of Late Night Poker on channel four featuring my father Simon Aces Trumper, poker looks set to continue its growth and movement into the main stream. Even black Friday has done little to dissuade the faithful masses in this now highly accessible skill game.

As the WSOPE draws to a climatic finale it’s that time again, the biggest event in the poker player’s diary! Unless of course you count the WSOP in Vegas!

The iconic style of the aviator wearing thespian at Cannes has been replaced by the many hats, glasses, hairstyles, sponsored shirts and lucky charms of the poker world.

Whilst the team here at Hyperion Gaming our trying our best to fill our hottest poker role, some of the world’s best poker players are battling it out for the remaining bracelets!

At the time of writing this the Americans were on top form with Amir Lehavot leading the way (990,000 chips), the Swedes proudly positioned in second with Rifat Palevic (800,000 chips) and the UK’s own Max Silver in third (710,000 chips)

Good luck to all involved and long may the poker masses prevail!
