“We are so grateful to GGPoker and everyone from the international poker community for reaching out a helping hand to our team members here in the U.S. who have suffered such unanticipated hardships this year from the impact of this terrible virus,” said Ty Stewart, Executive Director of the World Series of Poker.

“Poker players have never been slow to support those in need and I’m confident that this Sunday’s effort will be just as successful as our earlier ones,” said GGPoker ambassador, Daniel Negreanu. “The tournament will be a whole lot of fun, with a host of big names duking it out with poker players based all over the world, all while raising money for charity and playing for a WSOP bracelet!”

PokerStars has unveiled its newest throwable item, and yes, it’s poo.

Now, players that unlock the poo can throw the poo at their unsuspecting opponents while at the tables, but please refrain from throwing poo at your opponents away from the tables.

To unlock the throwable poo, players need to lose a hand with pocket Aces or pocket Kings.

To prevent yourself from being on the receiving end of the poo, simply disable throwable items by them by going to settings > table appearance > animation and click on disable table emotes.

Happy poo flinging.
