The World Series of Poker react to high roller feedback by including a second $50,000 buy-in event into the schedule, and New Jerseyans get the all clear to compete in all nine online bracelets.

A section of the high roller community was feeling a tad azure after the World Series of Poker (WSOP) decided to pitch the tent belonging to the $50,000 No-Limit Hold’em – 50th Anniversary High Roller at the entrance to the festival.

It’s not unusual for the high roller clique to dictate events at a tournament series. At the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series, you see it happening all of the time, and it’s always a win-win with the players getting more action, the tournament organiser picking up more revenue, and the fans finding another reason to give Love Island amiss.

“We got some feedback from players who thought [the initial $50k event] was too early in the series and they weren’t around for it,” said VP of Corporate Communications Seth Palansky.
