Poker Stars Share Fun and Charity During Quarantine
Poker players have been keeping themselves entertained and engaged during the quarantine period, sharing various stories and challenges on social media. Daniel Negreanu asked his followers if they ever registered for a tournament hoping to be eliminated early, sparking an interesting discussion.
Defending Integrity
Phil Galfond's wife, Fara, defended her husband's integrity against accusations of cheating. She emphasized that Phil is highly disciplined and would never compromise his principles for publicity or money. Fara also noted that Phil's behavior in games and his interactions with others are always respectful and honest.
Side Bets and Challenges
Aaron Jones and Mike McDonald made a friendly bet on how many free throws Tim McCulloch could make in an hour. Mike later proposed a basketball betting challenge to shoot 90 out of 100 free throws, with all proceeds going to charity. Josh Arie and Melissa Burr made a bet on how long it would take Josh to complete a 2,000-piece puzzle, adding to the fun and competitive spirit among poker players.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
