Have you heard about MyStack by PokerNews? It is a free-to-use tool built into the PokerNews website that puts you in control of your chip counts on our live reporting pages. MyStack directly connects you to PokerNews‘ live reporting pages, making you an even bigger part of the action in the events you play.
PokerNews‘ team of live reporters travels the length and breadth of our incredible planet, bringing you live updates and chip counts from the world’s most prestigious poker tournaments. In December 2023 alone, our team is providing coverage of the World Series of Poker Paradise, the PokerStars European Poker Tour Prague, and WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas.
Although between them, our reporters know thousands of poker players by sight, it is impossible to know everyone, especially with the scale of some events. It is also a major challenge to keep chip counts up-to-date throughout some massive events, which is where MyStack is in its element.
