Another round-up of poker news including the release of the schedule for the 49th Annual World Series of Poker, a new record for the World Poker Tour at the Bellagio, and Dan Smith and the Crowley Brothers promise to match $1m in a new charity drive.

I’ll start my weekly round-up of news from the world of chips, cards, and cocky card sharps by focusing on the World Series of Poker (WSOP).

In the summer, the iconic poker series returns for the 49th time, and we got a sneak peek at the schedule when someone accidentally leaked the information onto the Club Poker website.

Disaster!
