This week, we cover William Kassouf’s extraordinary exit hand at the World Series of Poker, the King’s Casino striking a deal with the World Series of Poker Europe, and Kenny Hallaert signing a short deal with 888Poker.

So William Kassouf is a big thing.

He has been the talk of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) highlights show ever since the action started to get serious, and this week he even managed to get radio show host Stugotz to say, “If poker were like that all the time, I would watch poker all the time. That’s a better product than the NFL.”

The ‘product’ that Stugotz was referring to is the episode that showed Kassouff exiting in 17th place after a cooler against Griffin Benger that has gone viral. It was kings versus aces with the Canadian holding the aces, but it was the verbal sparring that has gotten the mainstream media asking Santa for a poker chip set.
