WSOP.com Launch Winner Take All Tournaments; Steak Knives to the Runner-Ups; Shak and Bonomo Settle For Chips at Aria

The online felts of the World Series of Poker has launched a Winner Take All tournament format, but have had the heart to hand the runner-up a free set of steak knives. Dan Shak and Justin Bonomo settle for chips – lots of them. They take down $25k High Roller Aria events.

I love a poker company with a sense of humour.

As PokerStars reduce poker offerings by removing their Heads-Up ring games, the World Series of Poker (WSOP) are heading in the other direction with a sprightly new edition.

Delivering the tagline “Because Cash is for Closers” WSOP.com has included Winner Takes All tournaments for their markets in the states of Nevada and New Jersey.
