Shaun Deeb’s grandmom is a grinder, Maria Ho’s on CNN and WSOP updates – all that and more in our daily trip around the pokerverse in today’s PTP News Hit and Run.
Maria Ho is making the post-Amazing Race media rounds; highest profile stop so far would be last night on Anderson Cooper 360 where she talks about breaking into the ‘boys club’ that poker pretty clearly is. Watch over at Wicked Chops.
Updates from the legal side of online gaming: A Federal judge ruled this week that New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine can join a lawsuit that seeks to overturn the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act. That’s the law that basically restricts what states can offer sports-related betting. Less positive news for BetOnSports head Gary Kaplan, who will apparently be spending about 4 years in jail and be forced to hand over $43 million after a harsh sentencing hearing this week.
A new episode of ESPN’s Inside Deal is up today, featuring Liv Boreeeeeeeee and Chad Brown. Please, please, please cut out the opening skits. Rest of the show is a good wrap up of the happenings of last week in the pokerverse. Embedded below:
Doyle’s autobiography apparently hits shelves soon, well-timed to line up with public interest in poker due to the WSOP. You can pick up your copy of “The Godfather of Poker” on or about November 11th.
From an old-school legend to a new-school one, Pokertube has an excellent interview with Shaun Deeb where he talks about 2+2, the life of an international traveler and how his grandmom is a grinder. Embedded below from Pokertube:
Finally, Time Magazine has a piece on November Nine member Steve Begleiter and Bluff Magazine has announced they’ll be doing live radio coverage of the Final table of the WSOP. No streaming video this year, it seems.
