Full Tilt pros are allowed to play in PokerStars’ NAPT, and Benyamine dukes it out with Schwartz. Read all about it in today’s PTP Hit and Run.
Contrary to recent reports, Full Tilt pros are apparently will be able to play in the North American Poker Tour stop at the Venetian in Las Vegas. Earlier this week, ESPN.com reported that Full Tilt might be telling its pros to stay away from the PokerStars-branded event. Now, pokernewsdaily.com is reporting that’s not the case. An unnamed source told them: “Any Full Tilt pro, Red or member of Team Full Tilt, can play in any competitor’s open event.” Whether this is backtracking or simply the reality of things, we don’t know. But for now, FTP pros are free to play anywhere they want.

Interesting blog post from Doyle Brunson, with what he’s been up to and some mini-rants about the state of poker today. A few lines here: “Anyway, I’ve never pretended to be a bonafide online poker player so I might not know or understand some of the more complex problems. When I hear people talking about tracking devices, statkeeping software, etc. I just think WTF.”
The latest state to think about legalizing table games? Maryland, which feels the need to keep up with other mid-Atlantic states that are legalizing table games, including poker.
