Pokerpages.com reports it’s closing its door at the end of October. I can’t understand why this would happen to a prominent poker site that has been around since 2000….

“THE CLOSING OF POKERPAGES.COM
BY POKERPAGES MANAGMENT
It is with sadness and regret that we must announce that Poker Pages and all of its related services will be closed on October 31, 2009.

For many years Poker Pages has enjoyed providing the best source of poker related content, arguably the Internet’s largest and most complete live poker tournament results and listings database, as well as a place to play poker for free. These services will certainly be missed, but we realize that the most appreciated benefit of our products and services has been the community created by our user base. We thank you for the many great years you allowed us to provide you with the best poker content on the Internet and wish you all the best in your future poker endeavors. It has been a pleasure and a privilege serving you over the years!
