Lawsuits for Harrah’s, manslaughter charges for a tournament champ and PCA schedule updates in today’s edition of the PTP HNR, our daily survey of happenings in the pokerverse.
Isildur1 continues to be the story of online high stakes play online, with his ongoing willingness to play the top players at the highest stakes available generating a real surge of interest in the online nosebleeds. The unknown gunslinger’s bankroll status as of this morning: healthy, with a $2.056.027,58 profit since Oct 1st.
Tony G had a fairly interesting blog entry where he touched on Dwan’s FTP deal (worth $2 million per year, says Tony), his own possible impending signing and a few thoughts about Isildur1. Excerpt: “When young kids watch the games, they can get the wrong idea. PokerStars, by not going this route and by not being able to sign Tom, might be better off as the super high stakes with young kids playing cannot be too healthy if things go wrong. Ilsidur1 is only 19 and you don’t want a kid jumping off of a bridge after losing 10 Million in one day.”
Gamblers and casinos alike facing legal trouble: British Columbia Poker Championship winner Sophon Sek was arrested this Monday on manslaughter charges only hours after taking down the BCPC for about 365k. Harrah’s is the target of a lawsuit by a mega-millions gambler who claims Harrah’s kep him drunk and doped up to speed up the process of taking over $100 million from him in the pit.
PokerStars has added a Ladies Weekend to the PCA schedule. The primary tournament of the weeked will double as the finale of the High Heels Poker Tour season. Details here.
Speaking of PokerStars, here’s a lengthy cut of the latest episode of their Million Dollar Challenge.
