The 2024 World Series of Poker has been delivering some great results up to this point, but there are other poker circuits taking place. While most of the top poker players will be involved at the WSOP in some form, there are other poker news stories out there as well.
Some players have been able to cash in other events, while other poker organizations are trying to keep players engaged. Here is a look at three other poker news stories that shouldn’t be ignored while the WSOP is taking place.
Mills Goes on Big Run
While players were gearing up for the 2024 World Series of Poker, Kasey Lyn Mills was picking up some big wins in other tournaments. Mills is a pro poker player from Oklahoma, and she became a big name in the poker industry post-COVID.

After gaining some momentum, Mills decided to participate in the World Poker Tour Voyage Championship. She was not able to take home the top prize, but it was a seventh place finish for $42,000.
