Poker highlights
Vegas Makes Everyone A Little Blurry. Hey, we know that guy! It’s Fun Country’s own, Brian Li.

In honor of Brian taking blurry photos with poker Hall of Famers, we're linking to Daniel's DAY OFF WSOP poker vlog. Both the photo and the vlog are a great reminder that poker is fun, but taking some time off is key to maintaining success.
