6-Plus Hold’em Promoted in Asia by Phil Ivey & Tom Dwan; Poker King Club to Expand into Korea & Vietnam by Year End

6-Plus Hold’em is the new game being played in the highest stakes cash games in Asia. Phil Ivey & Tom Dwan get promoting, and Winfred Yu tells PokerNews that Poker King Club cardrooms will be opening in Korea and Vietnam by the year end.

Asia has a new form of poker.

If No-Limit Hold’em (NLHE) is a Cadillac, then 6-Plus Hold’em is the Millennium Falcon.

Take out the deuces, treys, fours and fives; turn aces into both aces and fives, and you get a short-decked game of poker that screams past your bank balance like a screaming bullet. Get Winfred Yu’s Poker King Club to lay on the tables, ask Phil Ivey and Tom Dwan to supply the craftsmanship, and high stakes gladiatorial games are back on the menu.
