WSOP Europe Launches This Fall

The World Series of Poker is about to cross the Atlantic.
Starting this fall, WSOP Europe events will be held at London Club International (LCI) casinos throughout the U.K. So far, three events during one poker series have been scheduled, but more are on the way.
WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack said as soon as he heard Harrah’s was able to buy LCI, the gears started rolling on how to bring the WSOP brand to Europe. LCI owns 11 casinos. Eight of them are located in the U.K.

Harrah's Confirms Revised WSOP Ad Policy

Alfonse D'Amato tapped as Chairman of the Poker Players Alliance

While something like this should have happened it's good to see the PPA makes some major moves in the lobbying world.

WSOP: Extra 2 Million Chips

This is an interesting article that tries to wrap up all the loose ends of the extra 2 million chips at the WSOP. It really looks like it was a simple mistake, but when the stage is that big more needs to be done to make sure that can't happen.

Doyle's Room Gone From US

It's sad to see another room leave the US market. I wonder if it was something that Doyle was pushing or a decision made by those who run his site.
