F5 Poker. Everything Poker. Always Refreshing.

QuintAce is described as a new training tool aimed at bringing more real-world dynamics into solver study. The app bundles AI hand analysis, practice sessions, population-tendency tools and opponent sparring into one study tool.

Poker.org said several online poker platforms, including WPT Global, had been working with QuintAce to provide in-app coaching. The same report said the tool supports no-limit hold’em and pot-limit Omaha, across cash games, squid game and MTT formats, and includes hand galleries built from live tournament hands at WSOP and Triton.

The pitch behind the product is that static solvers have never been proven to beat top human players in live, dynamic games. Dr. Thanh Tran, AceGuardian Technologies’ CEO and founder, said the online poker industry spent five years chasing a myth after misreading landmark 2019 AI research, and that players had mistaken machine equilibrium for human optimal strategy. He said QuintAce is putting adaptable game intelligence directly into players’ hands.

AceGuardian also framed QuintAce as the consumer version of its larger fair-play and detection stack. In launch materials, the company said its enterprise model already protects 30% of real-money poker traffic, and that QuintAce is built on deep reinforcement learning and a dataset of more than five billion hands.

Coverage of the WPT Global rollout was not perfectly uniform. On July 8, pokerfuse said the integrated version was live inside WPT Global and let players review sessions immediately after play without uploading hands, while PokerListings described the launch more narrowly as Texas Hold’em cash-game coaching. Pokerfuse, by contrast, said the tool also handled NLH and PLO cash, Short Deck, AoF tournaments, Global Spins and classic MTTs.

The WPT Global version also offered move-by-move ratings such as Solid, Close or Lacking, and grouped opponents into archetypes like Callers and Closers. It was also described as accessible through the operator’s Settings menu or hand replayer, with every session uploaded automatically for later analysis.

Patrik Antonius said he uses QuintAce to audit specific spots and show where his intuition is wrong, while Jean-Robert Bellande said he ran thirteen of his most-discussed TV hands through the system to see whether they were real mistakes or just memorable clips. In Bellande’s write-up, his biggest concrete leak was a queens fold against Salomon, which he said cost about $172K of EV each time the spot came up.

Bryn Kenney won the King Poker Cup $100,000 King’s Charity Super High Roller in Jeju, South Korea, and the official result gave him $1,954,000 plus the trophy.

The event drew 71 entries and built a $6,674,000 prize pool. It ran over three days at LES A Casino in the Jeju Shinhwa World Resort, and the top 11 finishers made the money.

Poker.org reported that Kenney beat Jesse Lonis heads-up after the two had discussed a deal. Lonis said they were “merely playing for the trophy” by the time the final river was dealt, but the official payouts still listed Kenney as the winner and Lonis as runner-up for $1.3 million.

The rest of the final table was also heavy on big names. Elton Tsang finished third for $880,000, Xuanyi Wang took fourth for $630,000, Xing was fifth for $450,000, Tom Dwan finished sixth for $350,000, David Miscikowski was seventh for $280,000, and Ren Lin was the first player paid after the bubble burst with a $200,000 min-cash.

SoMuchPoker’s live updates said Lonis began heads-up play with 18 million chips to Kenney’s 17 million. Kenney then pulled ahead to 27 million against Lonis’s 8 million before the final hand, when Lonis moved in with king-deuce, Kenney called with jack-ten suited, and a ten on the flop sealed it.

The win pushed Kenney farther ahead on poker’s all-time money list. Poker.org put his recorded tournament earnings at more than $89 million over 19 years, and also noted skepticism about that top ranking because of a handful of huge scores, including his $20 million Triton Million win in 2019. SoMuchPoker said the Jeju victory took him past the $90 million mark.

Lonis also arrived with a much shorter but very hot recent run. Before Jeju, he had seven $1 million-plus scores, all in the past three years, after not recording a five-figure cash until 2020.

The Jeju stop was being framed as part of South Korea’s growing poker scene. Poker.org said Jeju Island has become ground zero for the surge, with the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series already helping make the super high roller circuit there feel established.

Philipp Gruissem won the $200 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em One Day event at WPT Global Festival Panama. He outlasted a 138-entry field and earned $5,650 from the $27,600 prize pool.

PokerNews reported that Gruissem now has more than $11.5 million in live tournament earnings. That total puts him 12th on Germany’s all-time money list. The report also said The Hendon Mob Database listed his previous cash as December 2023, when he finished in the money in the $5,300 WSOP Paradise Main Event for $8,500.

Gruissem reached the nine-handed final table with 1,800,000 chips at blinds of 15,000/30,000. That gave him 60 big blinds and almost twice as many chips as any other player still in contention.

Estefan Foster was the first player to fall. Mike Chapman went out in eighth place, and Carlos Aguad also busted before Daniela Orta exited in sixth after doubling through Fernando Arias with pocket jacks against ace-king and then bowing out.

Christian Correa finished fifth, which was his third in-the-money finish in Panama. He had already cashed in May in the WSOP International Circuit Panama $1,000 Mystery Bounty and $500 Closer ring events.

Gruissem then scored his first knockout when his ace-nine stayed ahead of Arias’ ace-six. He later eliminated Carlos Uribe with king-ten against king-eight, which sent him into heads-up play with a massive lead over Panamanian Alexis Zhu. Gruissem won the final duel and posed for the winner’s photo.

The same report added that Poker Noticias had Gruissem leading the $350 No-Limit Hold’em PKO event at WPT Global Festival Panama, with 172 entrants and 18 players left playing for a $7,900 top prize.

Jamie Dwan won the £2,000 Goliath Super High Roller in Coventry and took home £47,200. The 89-entry event built a £152,200 prize pool and paid the top 10 finishers.

According to PokerNews, the win came just three weeks after Dwan captured the $50,000 No-Limit High Roller at the 2026 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. That score gave him his first WSOP bracelet and a career-best $2,276,691.

Brandon Sheils finished second for £31,500 after the heads-up duo did not strike a deal. Sheils had already won the £1,500 Goliath High Roller for £54,130 a couple of days earlier.

Daniel Carney took third for £20,550, which was described as the second-largest live cash of his career. He had banked $40,000 in the 2026 WSOP Main Event earlier in the month.

Brandon Harris finished fourth for £14,450. Yuzhou Yin was fifth for £10,650, the first five-figure score in the event, followed by Conor O’Driscoll for £7,900, Tuan Vu for £6,100, Matthew Davenport for £5,000, Paul Tait for £4,600 and Naim Atakas for £4,250.

The broader Grosvenor Goliath festival in Coventry has also been producing huge fields. SoMuchPoker reported that the £100,000 guaranteed Monster Stack drew 2,726 entries, grew the prize pool to £207,100, and ended in an 11-way chop after the average stack fell to eight big blinds and stayed there for more than two hours.

Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open’s Event 2 Flight A drew 365 entries, and 81 players were still in contention at Level 14. The live update put the field at blinds of 1,300/3,000 with a 3,000 ante.

The tournament structure sheet says players start with 20,000 chips. Late registration and unlimited re-entries stay open until the start of Level 9, and the event uses a nine-handed, big blind ante format.

The structure also lists the event as a three-day tournament with eight starting flights. Day 1 is set to continue until 12.5% of the field remains, then survivors move on, while Day 3 starts at 1 pm and plays to a finish.

Hard Rock’s SHRPO announcement said the festival runs July 28 through Aug. 11 in Hollywood, Florida, and that the $400 Deep Stack No-Limit Hold’em begins Wednesday, July 29. The update also said survivors from Flight A return for Day 2 on Sunday at 1 pm.
