Several poker tournaments have been taking place including the recently concluded Everest Poker. This is actually a month long Everest Poker Avalanche event and finally the lucky winners were introduced. There were ten players present who were representing a total of six different countries. Each of the ten players went home with some portion of the guaranteed $700,000 plus prize pool. And guess what, my neighbor who is a graduate of Collins College with a video game design degree is actually included in the tournament. You’re a lucky man Larry! Don’t forget to bring me some goods ayt?!

Another tournament will be held in Washington. Some US poker players will battle it out at Washington as the 2 year old group, Poker Players Alliance are planning on being on Capitol Hill pressing Congress to pass some new bills trying to gain momentum to exempt poker from the new UIGEA or regulate the gambling industry in the United States.
