Big names are out in force at the 2021 World Series of Poker, with the eyes of the poker community on some of the best poker players in the world.
They're all in Las Vegas hunting for WSOP glory, but for some this has so far eluded them.
Ahead of this year's Series, PokerNews took a special look at some of the biggest names without a bracelet, including Maria Ho, Jason Koon and Dan Smith.
We have exciting news for poker fans around the world!
We thought players and fans should have an interactive platform in which to engage with one another, as well as us here at PokerNews. That's why we've created a PokerNews Discord server and are inviting you to join our new community.
Discord specializes in text, image, video, and audio communication between users in a chat channel. It's a digital message board where you can share your thoughts with others who also love poker. The Pokernews Discord will give you a place to get caught up on whats going on in poker today and a place where you can share your thoughts with others.
Think of Discord as a house where different categories within the server are like a different room in the house. You can jump from one to the other to interact, gather information, or just have some fun.
We give you an area to share your bad beats, share your big wins, and talk about what is going on in poker today. We'll share links to live updates, highlight the biggest poker news, and offer special promotions.
