Daniel Negreanu is still alive in the LAPT Grand Final, the top videos and poker forum threads of the week, and could U.S. online poker regulation be dead until 2013? It’s all the weekend edition of the PTP Hit and Run.
Live tourney updates: The Latin American Poker Tour Grand Final in Brazil is down to just 10 players, and Daniel Negreanu is one of them. Kid Poker got a bounce this week for blasting Full Tilt Poker, so the poker community might call this good karma. You can get live updates and chip counts here.
The United Kingdom and Ireland Poker Tour stop in Galway is also nearing a final table. Updates here.
