Things you didn’t know about Ivey, PCA news and Isildur1 the vanity plate. That and more in our daily roundup of all things notable in the pokerverse, the PTP HNR for January 6th, 2010.
Zigmund lost his third tattoo bet and thinks that with a bit of smarter play he’d be up $7 million for 2009 instead of the three and change he banked. That and more in his latest blog entry.
Speaking of the high-stakes games, Pokerati’s got a pretty funny image culled from the State of Nevada’s vanity license plate creator:
The PCA is in full swing and you can follow all the main event action at the PokerStars Blog here or at the PokerNews main page here. Day 1 updates from PN:
PCA-related news: PokerStars has announced the launch of the NAPT – The North American Poker Tour. It’s a meager shell for the moment, including stops at Mohegan Sun and the Venetian (details from Bluff here) but is redeemed by the fact that Joanna Krupa will be the public face of the NAPT. Interview below:
Did you know that Phil Ivey gets sick on buses? Or that Eric Lindgren once called him Pigpen on euro-tv? Those Ivey tidbits and more courtesy of Michael Craig in an interview with Pauly over at Tao of Poker.
Finally congrats to Jeremy “daisyxoxo” Fitzpatrick who won the Bluff Online POY.
You’ll definitely find Fitzpartrik playing on Full Tilt Poker. Before you sign up to challenge him for the POY title, make sure you learn about rakeback. Learn what rakeback is an view our offers here.
