Will the biggest buy-in of all time be announced next month?

We recap some stories you may have missed including the Joe Ingram podcast returns, the Sunday Million PKO and sick multi-tabling skills.





Is the biggest buy-in ever coming?

Following another successful outing last month, the next nosebleed stakes Triton series has been announced for Montenegro next month. For the first time ever it will include PLO as well as regular No Limit and Short Deck. 

We mention this purely because last year Triton promised us the biggest buy-in poker tournament in history last year. It doesn't look like it will be next month, but could this festival be the one where it is announced? It will be just ahead of the WSOP and seems like a perfect time to announce it. 

Papi's podcast is back

The Joe Rogan of poker is officially back, as Joe Ingram has announced the return of the Poker Life Podcast (clearly starting his 2020 Global Poker Award nomination campaign early). 

The big question (for now) is who is that most requested guest he has teased?

Polk is back

Doug Polk is still on his break from poker, and YouTube, and Crypto, and comedy, but it looks like his new thing is fitness and the one thing he always does consistently is rile people up. Take a deep dive into his comments to see what we mean:

PKOs save the Sunday Million

Last weekend the Sunday Million was a PKO for one time only and the good folks at pokerfuse have crunched the numbers

It seems since the Sunday Million buy-in was halved the attendance has been declining most weeks, however the PKO version of the Million bucked that trend, attracting 12,790 entries in total.

Sick multi-tabling

Finally, we have all seen some epic instances of poker players grinding 24 tables at once, but do you think you could play a game within a game like this?

Should the Sunday Million be a PKO all the time? Let us know in the comments:
