PokerNews has been bringing you live reporting from the biggest poker tournaments for over 17 years, and it's time for a brand new addition to the live update product with the launch of PokerNews emojis.
Exciting New Emojis
Ever been scrolling through the PokerNews live updates and thought to yourself "Wow, what a punt!" 🏉
Or been following your favorite player only for them to bust? 💔
Or had to deal with an egregiously long Christoph Vogelsang tank? 🐢
Well, now you can show exactly how you're feeling with the launch of 24 bespoke reaction emojis which are available to be used on every single post in our live reporting.
These allow readers to react to individual hands, conveying emotions, reactions and expressions that were previously confined to Twitter threads, text messages or WhatsApp groups.
From classic Thumbs Up and Heart to poker-specific Fish and Money Bag emojis, we've worked hard to find the ideal selection for you to use while enjoying our updates.
