When the World Series of Poker (WSOP) kicks off in Las Vegas, the rest of the poker world usually goes on an unofficial hiatus until it finishes. With so many of the world's players heading to Las Vegas to compete for a coveted gold bracelet, it makes perfect business sense to have a slow few weeks while they're away.
Someone might've forgot to tell that to the United Kingdom and Ireland, though, because this week, despite the 2015 WSOP commencing, there has been new galore including players winning tournaments, companies hiring new senior managers, brand new tournaments being announced and more.
