Three is a crowd in poker?
Ever heard of the saying three is a crowd? Apparently so on the Poker circuit, it seems as Amanda Leatherman has gotten herself in to a love triangle with Daniel Negreanu and Joe Sebok, and both Negranu and Sebok are hoping they have the right hand to win her heart.
Amanda Leatherman obviously knows her way on the poker tables, but now it seems she has gotten between the sheets with both Daniel Negreanu and Sebok leaving Joe Sebok steaming from something other then losing a poker hand.
Sebok once had Amanda Leatherman all to himself as they both held a steady hand in there relationship, but now Daniel Negreanu seems to have shuffled his way right to the good spot.
Both Sebok and Daniel Negreanu have avoided any confrontation as to date, the two seem to be staying out of each others way.
There is strong opinion that Joe Sebok seems primarily upset that Amanda Leatherman has been hooking up with Daniel Negreanu even though he has been linked to the gay community (doubt it) , and standing up for gay marriage rights.
Keep you eyes off and on the poker tables fans, because this could get ugly as both Daniel Negreanu and Sebok play for Amanda Leatherman’s affection.
Vladimir Schmelev is from St. Petersburg Russia and was a chess prodigy. He plays in the biggest game in Russia at the Golden Ring Club poker room in Moscow. He plays primarily in pot limit stud games.
EPT Berlin Interrupted by Gunmen
This year’s EPT Berlin was witness to a little more excitement than usual as six gunmen stormed the venue, intent on separating players from their winnings on the fourth day of the event. Initial reports stated that the masked men made off with approximately 800,000 Euros while rumors that some of the money was recovered surfaced a while later. The latter has not yet been confirmed.
The EPT had a live webcast feed that caught some general chaos as participants and dealers dove under tables, overturning them in the process with chips flying all over the place. However, none of the perpetrators were caught on camera. Later, though, photographs appeared on the internet showing a security guard chasing down one of the perpetrators and catching him in a choke-hold.
There are reports that the men had guns, knives as well as machetes and threatened the crowd with hand grenades. However, thankfully no one was seriously injured barring some scrapes and bruises from the commotion.
The mishap occurred at approximately 2 P.M. and play resumed somewhere around 6 P.M. but only for the main event. The 1,000 Euro and ladies side events were postponed with the former being cancelled and participants being given the option of a refund.
Luckily, it appears that the prize money for the main event was safely locked away in the safe but all the funds for the high roller event were available inside the casino. Until further reports no one is exactly certain how much was stolen and if anything was recovered.
PokerStars made an official statement in which they requested that anyone who has additional information should contact them or the police as an investigation is already underway.
The 2010 EPT took place in Berlin, for the first time in the tournament’s history, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. Quite a spectacular first EPT for Berlin.

Tiger Woods turning down 75 million dollar endorsement to Paddy Poker
The past few months have not been too great for Tiger Woods. After news of his multiple affairs came out in the news the golfer who is a sex addict has lost a lot of money in endorsements. Tiger Woods is a star in the game of golf but after the whole story of his affairs came out in the open his sponsors took away a major chunk of his earnings by dumping him. The major sponsors who left Woods are AT&T, Gatorade, the famous Swiss watch company, Tag Heuer and Gillette.

Due to all this Woods turned down an offer worth 75 million dollars which was offered to him by bookies Power Paddy as he thought the dead was not very profitable. The question is that how can an offer worth that amount not be profitable to someone?
Ken Robertson is the PR Manager for Paddy Power and he said that the company was a huge brand in the international market and had one of the biggest networks in the world. Tiger Woods is a big brand in himself and Power Paddy made a generous offer to him, but IMG which is Wood’s management company conveyed to the company that the offer was rejected by the golf star.
Tiger Woods had a well crafted image and before the scandal as reports suggest, he earned a whooping amount of $110 million by doing endorsements. The company which contributed $30 million is Nike and with this they became the highest paying company for Woods. Reports also suggest that Tiger Woods because of the whole episode lost about $150 million because of prize money, endorsements and the appearance fees. Considering such huge losses it is very hard to believe and to understand that why the $75 million endorsement offer was not accepted by Tiger Woods. The deal was a deal for five years and after Tiger Woods declined it Paddy Power said that they will return to the table with a sum of money bigger than this. Tiger Woods’ wife Elin Nordegren has agreed to move back with him so sources suggest that at this point he is focusing on getting his life back on track rather than doing endorsements as suggested by sources. Why the deal was refused by the ace golf player is still a mystery and there will be definitely be a lot of speculation about this.
Are you tired of sitting at the poker table for a half hour or more without getting a hand to play? Do you play multiple tables to alleviate boredom while waiting for the next hand to be dealt? Or maybe you have always wished that there was a way to speed up your poker play. Well now that innovation has come. Full Tilt Poker has introduced their new Rush Poker games on their site. Rush Poker by far is the fastest, most action packed game on the internet.
The concept is actually quite simple. You sit down to a table of rush poker and are dealt a hand. As soon as you decide to fold, you are moved to another table and instantly dealt another hand. Also, if you are an impatient person that wants to get out of a hand before action reaches you, Rush Poker includes a “Quick Fold” button that allows you to fold out of turn and move to the next table.

How this is accomplished is that you do not technically sit down to a table when you play rush poker. You are placed into a pool of poker players and then inserted into tables to play a hand. Once you are finished with your hand, you are moved to another table and eight random players are placed in with you. The blinds are assigned according to the person that has went the longest without receiving the big blind.
One key advantage to playing Rush Poker is that many players will not be able to get a solid read on your play. Since you are constantly moving around to other tables, it will be hard for other players to establish a baseline for your play. Are you being aggressive with your raise or are you actually holding a big hand. This will be tougher to tell in Rush Poker as they can’t pull up a history on your play.
This leads into another advantage that has become a concern among many players, and that is data mining. Data mining becomes next to impossible with Rush Poker. Once you are moved, the hand recording stops and your next hand begins. Also, since you are in a pool of players instead of a specific table number, tracking websites are unable to track you play. You do not have to worry about someone downloading your data and devising a strategy against you.
The main advantage to playing Rush Poker is the fact you receive as much as three times the number of hands than in a normal game of poker. In many online Holdem games, you get around 90 hands per hour. With Rush Poker, you can receive as many as 270 hands in a single hour on a single table.
Whether you are a hardcore grinder, or a person that just likes to play for a few minutes a day, Rush Poker is for you. Log in and take a look at the games and see if they are for you. At present, Rush Poker is only offered at low stakes Holdem and Omaha, but higher limits and other games are likely to be added into the future.
So Rush on over to Full Tilt Poker now and experience the rush of Rush Poker.
Cyril Mouly, born September 1, 1975, is becoming somewhat of a legend in our poker world. Cyril, known as “Cyril the Frenchman” or “Frenchman Cyril”, has made a name for himself playing high stakes poker. Cyril regularly appeared in one of the most famous, and expensive, poker rooms in the world, Bobby’s Room at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas where the reserve money to play must exceed one million dollars. In addition, in September 2009, Mouly played in Full Tilt Poker’s Million Dollar Cash Game whose all-star cast of the world’s best poker players must not only receive a special invitation to participate in the event, but also put up $100,000 of their own money to participate. In the midst of these high stakes games, a thread began on the 2+2 forums by a visitor asking information on a “Cyril” French businessman frequenting the well-known Bobby’s Room in Vegas. Over 1500 posts later (and still increasing), “the Frenchman Cyril” and his mysteriousness has become a 2+2 forum sensation.
Until recently, it was assumed Cyril was a wealthy French businessman whose income was legitimate (well, as legitimate as any other successful businessman). However, that assumption has been called into question as he is currently on the run from the Interpol for allegedly swindling more than 10 million euros from several companies, in addition to money laundering for organized crime.
Long story short…Cyril Mouly founded the company, IT Dealing, in 2005. The company specialized in selling advertisements from administrative directories and trade journals. They did all of their business via telephone. Now it appears the company was a cover for a huge scam that stole millions of euros from a number of successful European companies. It has been reported that all of his business partners, 35 in total, have been arrested and he’s the only one that hasn’t been found. At one point during the investigation, he was said to have handed out thousands of euros in an effort to repay some of the debt. Those efforts didn’t last long and good ol’ Frenchman Cyril decided to take the money and run.
During the investigation, Mouly played more than $4 million at the casino between 2007 & 2008. Needless to say, the money played is presumed to be stolen money from his scams. An interesting part of this story is the fact that this highly wanted man was a well-known, routine visitor to Bobby’s room in Vegas and he appeared on television during the Full Tilt’s Million Dollar Cash Game but yet he still wasn’t caught?? Yes, perhaps the series was taped some time prior to the airing of the show, but still. It’s not like Mouly was hiding in a cave desperately trying to blend in with the world. In fact, it’s almost exactly the opposite. So now, he’s gone into hiding. The search went cold after he escaped to British customs. Perhaps it’s time for some new investigators??
For now, we’ll indulge on the little bits of information we get regarding which casinos he may have been spotted (with pics as proof, of course) and the never-ending, hilarious Photoshop pics popping up all over the internet until the next big scandal hits the forums.

Here we touch on organized crime. ”
Initially, he handed out thousands of euros, but soon, he cashed the money and vanished with.

A few weeks ago, the wife of Cyril Mouly has been indicted. During the search of his home, investigators found bags and shoe boxes containing tens of thousands of euros and dollars.
Cyril Mouly, presumed innocent until he has been sentenced by a criminal court would have played more than 4 million at the casino between 2007 and 2008. During the same evening in Cannes he would bet close to 300 000. Cyril the Frenchman, long observed by the officers of the executive subcommittee of the races and games, has now disappeared. The PJ has lost track of him since he escaped to British customs.
