Calling the Clock: Dropping the WSOP Curtain; PokerStars #Raiseit; 888 Video It

In this week’s calling the clock we say goodbye to the World Series of Poker for another few months, take a look at PokerStars new #raiseit campaign, and 888Poker’s weekly storyboard video.

The 47th World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event is done and dusted. 107,833 players partook, and that was a 4% increase on the record-breaking year they experience in 2016.

Who said poker was dead?

Mitchell Towner and Hung Le played the role of Leicester City to perfection with their earth-shattering victories in the Monster Stack and Crazy Eights events. Justin Bonomo, John Monnette, and Brandon Shack-Harris performed exceptionally well. And Chris Ferguson proved that you could be absent from the game for six years, return amidst a storm of spit and fury and still break into the WSOP Player of the Year (POY) Top 10.
