Idaho updates their gambling laws, more headaches for payment processors and a new foe for Full Flush. Get the scoop on those stories and more in our daily round up of all that’s relevant in the pokerverse, the PTP Hit and Run for 3/1/10.
Another weekend, another long string of tournament results. The LA Poker Classic Main event is heading into day 4 today; get updates, chip counts and the like here.
Speaking of the LAPT, Negreanu’s got a blog post from the coast that is probably offensive but still humorous in terms of pure funny-fail. Pookie Sheezie? Really? Read it.
Also, turns out Dwan didn’t show up for the LAPC until day 2; apparently he was too busy beating up on Cardrunners pros South and Townsend online. When he showed up on day 2, he lasted just about an hour before busting.
Similarly acronymed to the LAPC but a bit down south is PokerStar’s Latin American Poker Tour Punta Del Este event, which was, for only the second time in the history of the LAPT, won by … a Latin American. Recap and details from PS here.
File under pokertainment: the second installment of the Krantz-spearheaded documentary series From Busto to Robusto is set for unleashing mid-march. Preview here:
While we’re posting videos, Devilfish doesn’t like Luke Schwartz. Man, this guy is kind of a cranky bastard:
Legal happenings: Idaho is considering removing a law from its books that criminalizes social gambling. Details here. Pokerati’s got the details on a Florida bust involving large amounts of what appears to be online poker monies. Read that story here.
High stakes winners and losers over the weekend: Antonius and Hastings both managed to book over a quarter million in profit, while Matatuk and DrPill headed up the loss leaderboards with losses of 300k+ apiece.
