FUSION POKER AND VR STREAMS WITH THE POKERSTARS TWITCH CREW
Not familiar with Fusion Poker yet? Then what better way to find out more than to watch Spraggy, Fintan, Jaime, Kevin, Mikhail and Felix play a session live on Twitch.
The guys sat down for a cash game this week, while Spraggy ran a solo session of PokerStars VR, letting viewers see inside the headset.
WINNER OF THE POKERSTARS VR CONTEST ANNOUNCED
Speaking of VR, last week we ran a competition for you guys to come up with some new technical lingo that would work with the format.
From “Penguins” to “Headset Warriors” and “mousers”, we received some great suggestions.
