Poker night raises £1,000 for hospice PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 18 May 2012 13:16
A charity poker night held at the Crossways in North Wootton has raised more than £1,000 for Children's Hospice South West.
Thanks to the efforts of the organisers and staff and around 50 VIP guests, plus ticket sales, a raffle and a charity auction, the final total raised on the night came to £1,007.
The Crossways' general manager Tanya Ambrosini-Major tested her croupier skills at the event and said she was delighted to see everyone entering into the spirit of things and the great result.
"The Crossways has an ongoing programme of charity-based events and it's really satisfying to know that while everyone is having a wonderful time, we are doing something really worthwhile," said Tanya.
"The Children's Hospice is so important for children across the south west suffering from life-threatening and life-limiting conditions. We hope that the money raised will go some way to helping them provide some precious moments for the kids and their families."
Many businesses and individuals donated items for the raffle and auction. Auction lots included a double membership to Avalon Leisure courtesy of Rob Taylor, a 4-ball round at Wells Golf Club, a Diamond Cut Drill from Travis Perkins, and a top-of-the-range lawnmower from Norton Garden Machinery.

Senate Leader Wants To Legalize Online Poker PDF Print E-mail

1295484701

(WSCR) According to a report, Senate President John Cullerton discussed the idea of making Illinois an Internet gambling hub, suggesting the state could organize a major online poker game and gain worldwide popularity.
In a letter to his fellow legislative leaders, including Gov. Pat Quinn, Cullerton said legislation to create a gaming division within the Illinois Lottery would help the state maximize the profits from the lottery.
“Certain forms of iGaming, especially poker, rely on large pools of potential players, and states that move swiftly to design a system that captures the widest audience of participants will have an advantage in terms of long-range success,” Cullerton wrote. “The goal is to make the state nimble enough to adjust to new Internet gambling approaches.”
Cullerton’s idea wasn’t well received by all members of congress, though.
“If you allow Internet poker to be sanctioned by the state of Illinois, there are a whole lot of questions that need to be answered,” said Patty Schuh, spokeswoman for Senate Republican leader Christine Radogno of Lemont. “Being first isn’t necessarily a good thing.”

All World Series of Poker Final Tables to be Streamed PDF Print E-mail

All World Series of Poker Final Tables to be Streamed
Swedish poker fans will be able to follow Viktor Blom’s and other players’ hunt for gold bracelets almost live, as all the final table action from the 2012 WSOP will be streamed online with a five-minute delay.
The World Series of Poker is the biggest and most prestigious poker event in the world, and the organizers recently announced that 60 final tables of this year’s series in Las Vegas will be streamed over the internet.
Up to three final tables a day will be streamed with commentary from David Tuchman and a rotating group of player analysts. There will be a five-minute delay on the streams, and no hole cards will be shown.
“It doesn't get bigger or better than the World Series of Poker,” said David Tuchman.
“I am excited and humbled to be working with the WSOP to bring the live stream to a hungry and growing audience,” Tuchman added.
The first final table on the streaming schedule is Event 1, the Casino Employees tournament, on May 28th with coverage continuing daily until July 8.
Many Swedish players have reached final tables in the World Series of Poker over the years. Last year, Alexander Anter from Uppsala won a $1,500 No-Limit Holdem tournament and collected $777,928. Every winner of a WSOP event gets a gold bracelet a long with the prize money and Sweden has won six of those throughout the history of the series.
In 2012, online superstar Viktor “Isildur1” Blom will make his first appearance at the World Series in Las Vegas. So far this year, Blom has proven that he is a top-class tournament player by winning the Highroller event at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in Januari, and two events in the ongoing Spring Championship of Online Poker.
“Viktor will definitely be one of the most interesting Swedish players to watch out for at the WSOP, but winning a bracelet is very difficult, so it’s still a long-shot,” said Erik Sylvén, Editor in Chief at PokerListings.se.
“Martin Jacobson, Michael Tureniec, and of course the legendary veteran Christer Björin, who always does well at the WSOP, are three other Swedish players to keep an eye on,” Sylvén added.
“There are many more skillful Swedes out there, so we should at least get a few final table appearances. And I will definitely be watching the streams.”

Andy Moseley on Learning to Play Poker, High-Stakes Games in Macau, and More PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 14 May 2012 09:35
It’s long been said that some of the best poker players are the ones fans have never heard of, the men and women who opt to grind cash games out of the public spotlight. One such player is Andy Moseley, a 23-year-old high-stakes pro from London who recently made an appearance at the PartyPoker Big Game VI.
If you watched the live stream of that 48-hour cash game here on PokerNews, you no doubt remember Moseley. Not only was he the game’s second-biggest winner, but the wunderkind was the beneficiary of a mistimed fold by Phil Laak, a hand that will likely be remembered for years to come.
PokerNews caught up with Moseley to learn a little bit more about the well-respected high-stakes pro from the U.K.
When did you first learn to play poker?

I traveled around a lot whilst growing up before my family settled Southwest of London in Surrey. I went to an all-boys school and started playing poker in sixth form with friends. I set up an underground poker society with some friends after poker got banned at school — my enthusiasm for the game was obvious even then! I then went to the university in Manchester where I studied International Business — it was during these years where I really developed as a player and managed to move up stakes quite quickly.

State poker championship in Deadwood begins PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 11 May 2012 14:33
A poker showdown is coming to Deadwood, and spectators are invited to watch.
The Silverado-Franklin Historic Hotel & Gaming Complex is hosting the second annual South Dakota State Poker Championship, beginning today and running through Sunday.
“We thought it would be great to have a state championship, especially in Deadwood where poker became legendary,” said Tom Rensch, general manager of the Silverado-Franklin.
The buy-in is $1,100 and registration closes at 5:30 p.m. today. Play is divided into three flights, or groups. The first starts at 6 p.m. today, with two Saturday, one at 10 a.m. and the other at 6 p.m.
Rensch hopes 300 people will participate, with those participants being divided among the three flights with 10 tables of 10 people each.
Twenty players from each flight will advance to the finals Sunday, which begin at noon. Rensch predicts the final table will begin at about 8 p.m. Sunday.
If 300 people register, Rensch foresees first prize being approximately $100,000. But predicting the number of participants is difficult because most people buy in the day of the tournament, Rensch said.
Last year, 134 players participated, including 86 from across South Dakota, and Bill Swan of Miles City, Mont., took home the top prize of $40,000. Players from as far as California, Illinois and Washington came that first year.
This week, players have been competing in satellite tournaments, with players having the chance to win a seat in the tournament this weekend, and thus not have to buy in.
Most of the players in the satellite tournaments are amateur poker players, not professionals, Rensch said.
“We have yet to get somebody like that,” he said.
Rensch coordinated a nationwide advertising campaign, including an ad in “Card Player Magazine,” a publication dedicated to poker news.
“Nationally, it puts Deadwood on the map because Deadwood is a pretty famous place when it comes to poker anyway because of Wild Bill Hickok,” Rensch said.
Hickok was shot and killed while playing poker in Deadwood in 1876.
Since the tournament is not live play – players aren’t betting real money with each hand, just wagering chips – current $100 bet limit rules do not apply.
Rensch said the casino would love to have spectators, though there is no specified seating available for them.
