Tribes to set up interstate poker: Big news for United States poker players on Wednesday. Native American casinos are moving to set up an interstate poker network that will only be accessible from tribal lands/casinos.

Politics and Poker premieres: A new show on the “RightNetwork” is set to debut tonight. The network isn’t carried by all providers, and even if it did, you probably have to buy some type of package to get it. The show is hosted by Andrew Breitbart and features him talking with guests on political issues while playing poker. Sounds somewhat interesting, if you can stomach the conservative message.

The Inside Deal: Latest episode of the ESPN online poker show is out, you can watch below. Featured is Prahlad Friedman, who made waves with a controversial hand during day 2B of the World Series of Poker main event. He had the clock called on him, he appeared to have called with one second left to act, and the tournament director called his hand mucked.
