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.

Dennis Beau raised to 500 from middle position and was met with a three-bet to 1,200 by Ole Rehse in the small blind. Nico Jutila cold-called in the big blind, and Beau also called.
The A♦9♦4♦ flop was checked through.
On the 4♥ turn, Rehse led out with a bet of 1,200, and both of his opponents folded.

But it's not just the home nation who have some support, as brave soul Manuel Cachinero, despite his German passport, makes it clear his heart lies with his Spanish roots.

Murat Olpak opened to 800 under the gun and was faced with a three-bet to 2,000 by Kai Lach in middle position. Action folded back to Olpak, who wasted little time in moving all in with the covering stack. Lach got the rest of his stack, totalling 13,200, into the middle just as quickly.
Kai Lach: A♠K♥
Murat Olpak: K♣K♠
Lach had only one overcard versus Olpak's pocket kings, but an ace was in the window on the A♣2♣2♥ flop, and Lach secured the double-up after the Q♦ turn and 5♥ river completed the board.
