There has been no further announcement at this point regarding when competitions may begin again in casinos. That has meant the majority of the action has come online this past weekend, with Van Hoof winning a competition to surpass the two million landmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"new-broadcast-deal-for-world-poker-tour\">New Broadcast Deal For World Poker Tour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The WPT are continuously looking for new ways to get their\nproducts to the adoring audience, and they may have struck gold after\nannouncing that they have agreed a deal with THETA.tv to broadcast all the\nupcoming events. It could be a huge deal for the WPT, as they are the first\nnon-eSports event to be broadcasted on the streaming site. As part of the deal,\nthe site will be showing WPT Alpha8 broadcasts and King of the Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has only added a new way for poker lovers to watch all\nthe latest action, as WPT action can now be found across a multitude of\ndifferent avenues. Fans in Los Angeles and Las Vegas will have the widest available\nselection of broadcast options as the WPT made their first route into syndicated\ntelevision through these routes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also a major broadcaster on board for the WPT, as\nthey signed a five year deal with FOX to remain on the regional networks in\n2016. The WPT action has therefore been televised on FOX television since 2009\nand will continue to be on the network until the end of Season XIX next year.\nIt\u2019s hard to imagine a time when poker will not be televised, given that it has\nbeen a common source of entertainment for nearly 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"manchester-united-star-in-hot-water\">Manchester United Star In Hot Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn\u2019t all positive news over the weekend, as one Manchester United star found himself in hot water after breaking the lockdown regulations to play poker with his friends. The Sun reported that the defender has broken the regulations numerous times now. Marcos Rojo is currently playing his football back in Argentina, after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manutd.com\/en\/news\/detail\/man-utd-and-estudiantes-reach-agreement-for-loan-of-marcos-rojo\">United made the decision to loan him out to Estudiantes<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video was shared across the social media channels, with\nRojo seen smoking and playing poker at a friend\u2019s house. Rojo\u2019s decision has\nbeen condemned by the clubs that are associated with him, as the lockdown\nperiod in Argentina has already been extended until May 10<sup>th<\/sup>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The defender\u2019s loan at the Argentinean club is due to end at\nthe end of this season, as he will return to Old Trafford. However, following\nthe obvious breach of lockdown regulations; United could be looking to sell the\ndefender as soon as possible. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It has been a busy weekend in the world of poker, with some huge news being revealed surrounding the future of the World Poker Tour.
