Dusk Till Dawn – 7 Days a Week

Nottingham’s Dusk Till Dawn Poker Club, the only poker-dedicated venue in the UK, have announced that they will now be open seven days a week as from today. The club will be opening it’s doors every day at 5pm and will run two tournaments a night at 8pm and 8:15pm.

There will be 4 tournaments specifically for beginners included in the new weekly schedule. Newbies to game will be able to enter tournaments for as little as £10.

Rob Yong, owner of Dusk Till Dawn, said, “By opening 7 days we are able to introduce a number of different tournaments to cater for different tastes, bankrolls and experience, we will also be now able to recruit more staff so that we can hold our major monthly events ‘in’ house. Last month we had 600 people turn up for our £100k Deepstack Weekend and had to fly in freelance poker dealers from France to cope. With the launch of a further new monthly event, the £40k ‘Twenty Twenty’, where we expect over 500 entries each month, having more dealers will become even more important.”

Pitbull Poker lukker – Arresteret Directors

Midt i rygter og påstande om snyd, svindel, superbrugere og udbetalinger, der aldrig blev leveret ser det ud til, at online poker room Pitbull Poker har lukket ned.

2 +2 forum bruger Chesterboy var den første til at foreslå, at der kan være problemer med Pitbull Poker tilbage i juli i år. Efter beskyldninger flere spillere kom frem med lignende problemer og i sidste ende en tidligere ansat i Pitbull Poker kom til Poker News Headlines at tilbyde sine beviser på svindel og bedrageri påstande.

Dave Brenes har kommenteret Pitbull afslutning på 2 +2 under brugernavnet DBReal ved at sige:

Øyvind Riisem eneste nordmann igjen i WSOPE Main Event

Dag 3 startet med 3 norske spillere anført av Øyvind Riisem som best av de tre. Men i løpet av dagen måtte både Stephan Kjerstad og Annette Obrestad takke for seg og dermed er Øyvind Riisem igjen som eneste norske spiller. Dag 3 startet med 92 spillere og de spilte seg ned til de 36 spillerne som alle er sikret pengepremier. Laveste premie er på £21 142 og vinneren av hele turneringen får med seg £801 603.

Pitbull Poker Closes Down – Directors Arrested

Amid rumours and allegations of cheating, fraud, superusers and cashouts which were never delivered it seems that online poker room Pitbull Poker has closed down.

2+2 forum user Chesterboy was the first to suggest there may be problems with Pitbull Poker back in July this year. Following the allegations several players came forward with similar concerns and eventually a former employee of Pitbull Poker came to Poker News Headlines to offer his evidence on the cheating and fraud allegations.

Dave Brenes has commented on Pitbull closing on 2+2 under the username DBReal by saying:

Irish Poker Player signed by Lock Poker

Lock Poker, a new poker site on the Cake Network, have recently been adding plenty of new faces to their player base. In the last two month Lock Poker have added a massive 12 new players to their roster. And one of the biggest names to join the Lock Poker Team is N.Irelands very own Stevie Devlin.

Stevie Devlin or better known as Allinstevie to the online poker community has been crushing the online poker scene for a few years now. He is regularly ranked as one of the top online poker players in any poker ranking that you check. So it is a big surprise that little known Lock Poker have managed to sign one of the brightest prospect to come out of Ireland for many years.

Martonas tilbage på full tilt poker

Så er han tilbage på Full Tilt Poker, i nat var martonas tilbage og spillede $500/$1000 nl på Full Tilt Poker.

Fortsatt tre norske med i WSOPE Main Event

Da var spilledag to av Betfair’s World Series of Poker Europa Main Event ferdigspilt, og gårsdagens startfelt på 178 spillere har nå krympet til 92 spillere. Men det er fortsatt en god bit frem til de 36 plassene hvor pengene bygger (se vår artikkel i går om premiene). Med helt oppe i toppen av dette 92 spillers feltet finner vi vår egen Øyvind Riisem, som etter dag to sitter med den tredje største stacken foran seg på bordet på 255 300 chips. Dette er omtrent halvparten av hva spilleren som leder, Ian Muns, har som sitter med 528 300.

Doyle Brunson in Contention at WSOPE Main Event

Doyle Brunson is up amongst the chip leaders in the World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) main event. “Texas Dolly” showed all the class and experience he has gained through decades of WSOP experience by cruising through Day 2 to end in 6th place before Day 3 begins at mid-day, UK time, today.

Doyle still has some way to go to catch the current chip leader Ian Munns, though. Munns amassed a huge stack of over 500,000 chips as play ended for the day late last night. His nearest rival, Praz Bansi, is over 200,000 chips behind him at this stage.
