Poker crimes, PPA lobbies for regulated poker in MA and insights into the world of WSOP sponsorship – it’s the PTP Hit and Run for October 29th, 2009.
The High Stakes Poker cast for Season 6 continues to take shape. With a few names already confirmed (Eastgate, Greenstein and Phillips), news of the latest addition to the lineup hit this week when it was confirmed by UK Poker News that Andrew Feldman will have a seat at the Season 6 table. Feldman, a Full Tilt Poker pro, told UKPN that he was apparently recommended to the show’s producers by Tom Dwan.
Vegas news: the latest installment of the Venetian Deep Stack Series is about to get under way. For full details on the schedule, structure, etc, click here. Their neighbor a bit down the strip – Harrah’s – was also in the news today, as word emerged that a woman was suing the casino for what she claims was unauthorized use of her image to promote the WSOP Academy. Complete details on Sally Anne Boyer v Harrah’s, et al here.
Pokerati’s got a rather grim but nonetheless instructive recap of the recent robberies and homicides to strike the pokerverse, including updates on the professional hit on PokerListings founder Andreas Oscarsson.
The PPA was in MA yesterday to testify before the Massachusetts Joint Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies regarding the benefits of legalized, regulated online poker. Randy Castonguay, Massachusetts state director of the PPA, played the skill card, arguing to the committee that: “We are advocating regulation of Internet poker, not Internet craps or roulette. And as every member of this Committee knows, unlike craps and roulette, poker is a game of skill that has been played in the home since Americans have been playing it. Regulating poker on the Internet is simply recognition of the game’s 21st Century place in American culture.” More quotes and info at the PPA website here.
Wonder why Antonio Esfandiari wasn’t repping any room for the first few days of the WSOP and how he ended up sporting a Doyles Room patch? Gary Wise has an exccelent article over at ESPN that tells the story of Antonio’s road to the house of Doyle and gives up some interesting insight on sponsorship of tournament players to boot.
Finally, it appears that the beginnings of the latest online poker scandal may be brewing over at bWin. A video (and accompanying blog) purports to have discovered a security flaw in their poker client that allows a user on one machine using one IP to sit at multiple seats with multiple accounts. Details are still emerging, but you can follow the developing story in a 2+2 thread here.
