Dwan crushes 2010. Giving to charity in the WSOP’s Tournament of Champions. And some April foolery in today’s PTP Hit and Run.
It’s good to be Tom “durrrr” Dwan. Clearing $4 million at Full Tilt’s high-stakes tables so far in 2010 must be nice. Read more about the epic start to his year here.
Voting for the World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions is still going on. And finally, someone has offered to donate all the winnings to charity if they get in. It is a freeroll, after all. Read more about Marty Smyth here. Vote here, if you haven’t already.
It’s April Fools Day, and here’s some of the hilarity that ensued in the pokerverse:
– A roundup of headlines/stories from pokernewsdaily.com here.
– Cake Poker broke the news that mysterious high-stakes pro Isildur1 is Swedish hockey player Mats Sundin.
– Dwan will be appearing in Rounders 2.
Webcam-based poker? It was just a matter of time, wasn’t it? A site called facepokerlive.com has launched — read more here. The idea is that you can play online, and see and talk to the people you are playing against. Seems unlikely that this is going to catch on, but it’s interesting, if nothing else.
Prahlad Friedman is not only a rapper, he’s also a baller. Better known as a poker pro, Friedman hit 23 free throws in 60 seconds, beating the unofficial record of 21 by Steve Nash (of the NBA’s Phoenix Suns). He did is a part of taping for the TV news show, Poker2Nite. Check it out here.
If you want to watch the whole show, head on over to the Web site, here.
And for even more news in video form, here’s cardplayer.com’s Poker Buzz and Online Zone:
If you like playing for charity, there’s a tournament at Full Tilt that might be for you. On Sunday at 2 p.m. Eastern, a $5+$5 tournament will run, with half the buy-in going to charities as selected by Poker Gives. There will be a variety of non-monetary prizes in the event, as well.
Here’s the latest blog post from Daniel Negreanu, who despite being a team PokerStars pro is still largely a live player. He talks about a serious foray into online play with a lot of hours logged recently. And doing something called “multitabling.” We think that might catch on.
