The world’s largest poker game, the hottest girls in poker and a new multi-accounting scandal? Those stories and more in today’s jaunt through the pokerverse, the PTP HNR.

Maxim’s list of the hottest girls in poker is a bit misleading, insomuch that very few of the women featured are actually poker players. Maxim shrewdly constructed their list at the LA Poker Classic, where celebs galore were in attendance; view the list and the photos here.

Tom Dwan’s working on a new book: How To Make $230,710 in Nine Minutes. The inspiration: his latest session in the durrrr Challenge, where he padded his lead by that amount in a bit under five hundred and forty seconds. Details here.

Curious about what the PPA is up to? CardPlayer’s got an interview with PPA head John Pappas. Cliff’s: Pappas thinks we’ll see legislation pass at the Federal level before the State level. Read it here.

Random: The schedule for the Borgata Spring Poker Open is now out. View it here.

Tournament-related: Phil Hellmuth had a fairly entertaining breakdown after busting out of the Bay 101 this weekend. Watch the video below (breakdown at 2:10 or so). Also funny: the cameraman hovering over Hellmuth’s prone body and the fact that Hellmuth has to get back up and return to the table to sign a shirt because he’s a bounty.

No proof or anything beyond a finger-pointing at the moment, so read and judge for yourself here.

Finally, the Tournament of Champions is returning to the WSOP after a couple-year absence. Get all the details on this big ol’ freeroll here.

WSOP qualifiers are starting soon on major sites, and Full Tilt Poker will have no shortage of offerings. Before you sign up at FTP, be sure to read this first.

Rakeback and Free Bankrolls

PTP offers several rakeback and free bankroll offers for our viewers. If you're not familiar with rakeback, read our guide to online poker rakeback. To learn how much you could be earning with rakeback, check out our rakeback calculator. If you're ready to get started, our most popular rakeback offers are True Poker Rakeback, Cake Poker Rake Back and Carbon Poker RakeBack.

Free and no deposit bankrolls (also called free poker money) are essentially promotional deals we've arranged with rooms where they give you a small amount of money (usually $10-$150) to try out their room. These offers are a great way to get your feet wet at a room without going through the hassle of depositing, and provide players nervous about depositing at an online gambling site with a risk-free way to play poker, bingo, and other games online.
