Online poker history has been made this week, with the launch of the first Greek-language online poker room, www.williamhillpoker.gr. The site also marks the first online poker site in a European language for CryptoLogic, the company behind the new Greek poker platform. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, WagerLogic, CryptoLogic licensed the Greek poker platform to UK bookmaker William Hill on an exclusive basis.

North Dakota State Representative Jim Kasper is far from giving up the fight for online poker. Although, earlier this year, the state Senate shot down Kasper's online poker licensing bill and accompanying constitutional amendment in a dramatic 44-3 vote, the tenacious legislator has waited not even a year to try again.

Come March 2006, Fox Sports Net (FSN) will broadcast the 2006 Aussie Millions, the main event of the Crown Australian Poker Championships. FSN is filming and producing the championship tournament at the Crown Casino in Melbourne, dividing the five-day tournament into a 10-part series. FSN's forthcoming broadcast of the Aussie Millions is thanks to a newfound partnership between Crown Limited and FSN, which is part of the FOX Broadcasting Company and News Corp.

About a month after Boss Media announced that it was planning to power an online poker site for veteran partner Svenska Spel, the two companies can indeed embark on this initiative. Although the two companies decided a month ago to expand their partnership to include online poker, Svenska Spel had yet to receive approval for an Internet poker license. Boss Media announced this week that Svenska was awarded a license to operate poker online, allowing the two companies to put their planning into effect.

Although $382,000 (not to mention $382,000 Canadian) worth of poker winnings may seem like peanuts compared to the multi-million dollar jackpots won at major U.S. tournaments, in British Columbia, it's a record-breaker. The B.C. poker championships, held recently in Richmond, B.C., awarded James Hawkins of Salt Spring Island the highest poker prize allowed by law.

A new concept has recently debuted in the world of online poker: online charity poker. Sure, various online poker rooms have hosted charity tournaments following the occasional sweeping natural disaster, but never before has an online poker site been launched mainly as a platform for charity poker. BenefitPoker.org, which recently joined the Excapsa poker network, is just that. Excapsa donated the technology powering BenefitPoker, which will host its first tournament next week.

The World Poker Tour Finals came to a close on Friday, after a final table that was short, sweet, and to the point. This year's WPT Finals was a record-breaking event on many levels. In addition to record-breaking participation and prize pools, this year's tournament also crowned its youngest champion in history. Nick Schulman, 21 years old and primarily an online player, is now the proud owner of $2,142,000 and the title of World Poker Tour Champion.

Old school Manchester United fans, listen up. Paddy Crerand, the man, the legend, will be online at Ladbrokespoker.com this coming Wednesday for a friendly game of charity poker.

The Prima Network, a conglomeration of partner online poker rooms, announced yesterday that it has added six new poker sites to their already expansive partner list. The online poker rooms joining the Prima Network include of PokerTime.com, betEd.com, DreamPoker.com, AllInPoker.com, PokerArena.com and 5DogsPoker.com. The Prima Network continues to grow by leaps and bounds, with 17 additions to the network in the past year alone. Following the addition of these six online poker rooms, Prima's total partner list is one poker room shy of 40 sites.

The $10,000 buy-in World Poker Tour (WPT) Finals kicked off yesterday at Foxwoods Resort Casino, with the final table commencing on Friday. As far as prize pool is concerned, an official figure has not yet been released. However, entry, and thus prize pool, has grown successively every year that the WPT has taken place. Last year's finals generated a $6.7 million pool, which give us a general idea of what to expect from this year's competition.

The 80 poker players arrested amidst a November 2nd raid on a South Baltimore club are being cleared of charges, according to an announcement made yesterday by city prosecutors. Charges are being dropped due to an error made by police, who misapplied the law when issuing tickets during the raid.

Professional poker players are busy people. When they're not appearing on the plethora of televised poker programs, giving their two cents on poker radio, or moonlighting at various online poker sites, the pros are having their voices recorded for ring tones. Or at least that's what we can anticipate in the near future from Men "The Master" Nguyen, David Williams and Evelyn Ng.
