The most anticipated tournament series of the year starts December 26, as CoinPoker launches the $10,000,000 GTD Winter Festival with massive guarantees and a fantastic month-long schedule.

We’re also bringing our $12,000 daily CoinRaces leaderboards up to $15,000 on December 26th until the 1st of February.

Santa would be proud (except about the whole Ryan DePaulo thing).

🌴 Ryan Depaulo’s All-In Drama at WSOP Paradise

If you thought WSOP Paradise was all sunshine and smooth sailing, think again. One of the Super Main Event’s most memorable moments had nothing to do with flops or rivers, and everything to do with confusion.

In a massive multi-way all-in, James Caputo accidentally mucked his hand after already committing over 1.1M chips preflop. 

Chaos followed. Voices were raised, opinions were split, and the table had no clear read on what just happened.

Luckily for everyone, CoinPoker ambassador Ryan Depaulo captured the whole thing on video. 

The clip shows Ryan announcing all-in, Caputo calling, a re-shove behind, and Caputo ultimately releasing his cards. Ryan’s K♣ K♠ held against J♠ J♣, locking up a monster pot and ending the debate.

Caputo folded A♦5♦, which would have given him a flush to win the hand.
