New table design coming to PokerStars
We recap some stories you may have missed including the final EPT of the year and the GTO verdict on Negreanu's big fold.
New look for Stars
2019 will start with an improved table design at PokerStars. The new graphics engine is being rolled out gradually to gauge player feedback.

1,174 players entered the final European Poker Tour Main Event of the year (and last event before the PSPC).

Which left Paul Michaelis of Germany to take down the €840,000 first prize and one of the final Platinum Passes of the year, following a three-way chop with Artem Kobylinskiy in 2nd for €571,910 and Alexandr Merzhvinskii in 3rd for €631,500.

Last time we fawn over the Kid Poker fold, we promise, but it is probably right to let the man himself have the last word on it:
Do you think the fold was GTO based or just a live read? Let us know in the comments:
