We’re happy to announce that the PocketFives Open for US players will return this Wednesday, October 7, at 9:00pm Eastern Time. Our host site is TexasHoldem.com. The last time we held the PocketFives Open there, we had over 500 players and broke the record for the largest tournament ever held on TexasHoldem.com, so we’re expecting a large field once again.
