Poker Pros and European Moves: The Latest in the Poker World


GVC Holdings, the company behind partypoker, has made a significant move by acquiring Bet.pt, the leading betting operator in Portugal. This acquisition is part of GVC's expansion strategy, although they have ruled out immediate liquidity in the market.

In Germany, the regulatory process for online gaming has begun. Starting on October 15, 2020, the first tools and restrictions were applied, with the full implementation of the Interstate Treaty on Gaming 2021 expected by July 2021.

In the world of professional poker, Chance Kornuth has made a remarkable comeback in the Galfond Challenge. After a forced pause, Kornuth reduced Phil Ivey's lead from 280,000$ to 117,000$. Additionally, Phil Ivey confirmed his sponsorship with Poker King during a conversation with Barry Greenstein. Meanwhile, Doug Polk has escalated his feud with Daniel Negreanu, calling him a complete idiot who wants to give away 1 million dollars.
