New WSOP Academy launched

The new WSOP Academy has been launched to boost the passion of poker players.

A new beta version of an online poker school has been launched the by World Series of Poker (WSOP).

It is hoped the WSOP Academy will help novices and casual players boost their passion for poker and improve their live skills.

Real WSOP play footage is used, along with instructions from poker champions, in order to provide a "fun, entertaining and motivational" training platform, the organisation said.

"This is the place where the next generation will learn to become champions," asserted Phil Hellmuth, 11-time WSOP champion.

He added people who undertake the course will see their game improve and help to increase their confidence at the poker table.

Part of the curriculum includes Hellmuth's Home Game, where students sit with the champion during a weekly online TV show and hear play-by-play commentary and watch Hellmuth and his friends complete a series of games.

Hellmuth has won 11 bracelets, followed by Johnny Chan and Doyle Brunson who have both won ten.
