Updates on Florida arrest, the LAPT heads to an end and a new episode of the Sunday Million highlight show. That and more as we take a quick run through the pokerverse in the March 2nd edition of the PTP Hit and Run.
If you’re a fan of poker media online, you might be interested in the recent (and apparently, quickly resolved) disagreement between F-Train and PokerRoad. Details here.
If you’re a fan of Victory Poker, you might be interested in an interview with Antonio Esfandiari. Specifically, you might be interested in how an Everleaf skin managed to snag him, a question he quasi-answers in the brief Q&A.
Victory might be spending money like crazy, but if recent reports from Cryptologic are any indication, it might not be money well-spent. The Irish gambling software company reported a loss exceeding $35 million for 2009.
On to the tournament ticker: EPT Berlin is underway; best bet for coverage is the PokerStars blog. Come March 6th they’ll be streaming final table play, so keep an eye out for that. LAPT is getting down to it; get coverage of Day 5, which is a pretty packed field, at the official Commerce coverage site here. Interview with still-in-it Johnny Chan:
Speaking of the LAPT, Gary Wise has a good article over at ESPN about why the new NAPT is likely to meet or exceed the popularity of the WPT in rapid fashion. Read it.
In addition to the NAPT, PokerStars also hosts a little online tournament you may have heard of: The Sunday Million. The latest episode of the excellent Sunday Million highlight show is embedded below:
.
Closing out with some legal news: The February edition of the PPA newsletter is available, summarizing all of the key happenings at the intersection of poker and the law for the month. Read that here.
Finally, Pokerati continues to follow the increasingly complex story of Michael Schuett, the German man jailed in Florida for some crime involving money somehow related to online poker. Look, I said it was complex. Get clarification here.
You know what’s not complex? Rakeback. You get rakeback, you win more money when you play poker online. Learn more about PTP Rakeback and how to get it here.
