What Subsequent?
Whereas there was no official announcement but relating to a future money sport collection at CoinPoker, given the excessive quantity of play and massively optimistic suggestions from followers, it appears probably the occasion will make a return.
Nik Airball has made a splash along with his personal CoinPoker VIP tables, which opened up throughout the CGWC, and – throughout a CoinPoker stream – the workforce has informally indicated these kind of VIP video games will proceed. In actual fact, asianflushie and KayhanMok stored the heads-up motion going at a $200-$400 VIP heads-up desk within the hours after the CGWC ended.
As for CGWC half two? For now, we’ll have to attend and see.
