Hastings and Isildur redux, good press for poker and updates on the Stoxtrader scandal-ish-thing. Details, details details, all inside today’s edition of the PTP HNR.
Nice to see poker getting the thumbs-up from respectable society types, and that’s apparently exactly what went down when Rafe Furst and Phil Gordon were awarded the 2nd Annual “Cancer Champion” by the Prevent Cancer Foundation. Details + an awesomely awkward photo of Gordon + Spencer Bachus semi-hugging over at Pokerati here.
Some news from the PokerStars camp: ANZPT Perth is about to kick off. Get the preview here; get full coverage when the tournament actually starts here.
Also, since it’s Tuesday, here’s the latest installment of the Sunday Million Highlight Show:
New from the virtual high stakes felts: the semi-controversy regarding Stoxtrader and multiple accounts continues, with a response from Grudzien on the stoxpoker forums where he admits having multiple accounts, but denies any “nefarious intent” in doing so.

Read his response (quoted on 2+2) here; read the whole 2+2 thread here.
News from the high-stakes felts involving actual play: Isildur1 was back to his old role of getting his ass handed to him by a rotating cast of regs yesterday, with the largest beneficiary being (again) Brian Hastings. Watch some video of how the Swede blew over a million to the Cardrunners pro below:
