There are levels to this
ClubWPT Gold, Barbero, and the unnamed pop star fraud all generated a buzz this week – albeit none for good reason – check out the video above, or read below, to learn more.
- With the addition of a new feature that allows players to pay a few big blinds to see their opponents' cards, ClubWPT Gold set the poker world alight.

- Barbero's recent appearance on David Lappin and Dara O'Kearney's The Chip Race saw the Argentinian professional open up for an honest discussion about his recent employment troubles and how he was "surprised" to get a second chance as a poker ambassador.
- The Wynn Las Vegas, and in some ways, the entire city of Las Vegas were duped by a Justin Bieber impersonator who managed to swindle his way into a performance gig at the hotel.
