Darvin Moon, the WSOP main event runner-up from last year, is in the NHUPC. And amazingly, this is first trip back to Vegas. Read more here.

The World Series of Poker is apparently looking into an “all-star” game for this year. Story here at pokernewsdaily.com with lots of speculation. Here’s the tweet: “Which 20 WSOP Bracelet-Holders would you like to see compete in an All-Star game? Stay tuned…#WSOP”. We’ll keep you posted.

We’re not sure who Andras Koroknai is, but he won $1.7 million for taking down the World Poker Tour L.A. Poker Classic $10,000 main event. He’s from Hungary, a country not often heard from on the live poker scene.

We don’t know who Isildur1 is either, but he’s playing a lot of poker again. The unknown Swede logged more than 13,000 hands in a 24-hour period, with profits of about $300,000.

Tiger Woods is apparently not too desperate for sponsorship opportunities yet. He turned down $75 million over five years to sign on with paddypoker.com. TMZ story here.

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.
