The holder of 9 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, Phil Ivey, is back in the Global Poker Index (GPI) ranking after getting out of the list in September 2013; and this, thanks to his victory in the poker tournament Challenge at AU$250,000 of the Aussie Millions 2014. With 1,495.21 points, he occupies the 293rd position. It’s one of the greatest changes which mark the classification of this week. It’s also important to quote the ascent of Mike Watson in the top 10, thanks to his 12th place in the World Poker Tour Fallsview Poker Classic (WPT), as well as the strong progress of Mike Leah, winner of the event with a buy-in of $1,100 in the WPT Fallsview, Chris Brammer, Marcel Luske and Jim Collopy. The latter has won 87 places.

The poker player Chris Bolek has just won a great prize. In fact, he is promoted champion of the World Series Of Poker Circuit Palm Beach (WSOP-C) and has won the golden ring. It’s about a by default coronation as Bolek has finished runner-up during the main event of $1,125 of this poker tournament, which has taken place at Palm Beach Kennel Club in Florida, in the USA. The real current champion, Chan Pelton, has lost his title because of a story of stolen chips. As a reminder, Pelton has won the trophy. But he had the bad idea to take a chip of 25,000 from his stack. He has been caught in a flagrant felony.

Renowned poker circuit across Europe, the Mega Poker Series (MPS) will be proposed in French version from which organizers will use all superlatives to turn this poker tournament into “the greatest deepstack ever be organized in France”. Result of an excellent and close collaboration between TurboPoker.fr and TexaPoker, this MPS National is already announcing 4 crucial stages which will take place in widely renowned locations across France. The first stage of this MPS French offshoot will be held on April 4th to 6Th in Gujan Mestras, in Gironde. Other three destinations including Cannes, Sanremo as well as Gruissan will welcome this inaugural season on this MPS National. According to organizers, a fifth stage may arise and the discussion about it is still in progress.

Microgaming Poker Network Poker Tour of MPN Poker Tour has just integrated the rank of circuits of live poker in Europe. The creator of the event, none other than the publisher of gaming platforms Microgaming, has let known its enthusiasm about the success of this tournament, during a press release. However, it will be a huge challenge to take up, given that the annual calendar of live poker tournaments is already rather tight. The competition is hard and aiming at attracting more players, a lot of organizers establish various tactics. Among others, we quote the creators of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) who have decided to organize each two years and alternately the tournaments WSOP Europe and WSOP APAC. What could generate the success of this new circuit is the willingness of its organizer to propose tournaments with moderate buy-in. The fact that Microgaming is also a partner of numerous operators can be also an advantage, because it can organize several online qualifying satellites.

The date of February 25th of this year will leave a lifetime mark on the story of online poker in the United States. Effectively, it’s on this historic date that the Governor of Nevada, Brian Sandoval, and his counterpart in Delaware, Jack Markell, signed the agreement allowing the sharing of liquidities between both States. A one-year debate was necessary to this Interstate project succeeding; and a priori, it’s about a symbolic deal, given that the number of players in Delaware is relatively weak. The impact of such agreement at the financial level is thus lesser. However, it gives more freedom to players and more advantage to operators. European countries such as France, Spain and Italy could also imitate this example of Nevada and Delaware, in order to boost their market in full crisis.

The edition 2014 of the Borgata Spring Poker Open will take place at Borgata Hotel casino & Spa in Atlantic City, in New Jersey, USA, from April 8th to 26th of this year. This great poker festival will have 51 events including qualifying satellites for key tournaments, following the example of the World Poker Tour Championship. Let us note that it is about the first passage of this competition in New Jersey. In order to seduce participants, the organizers have revised the buy-in downward and have decided to authorize re-entries. Thus, the WPT Championship will be accessible at $15,400 and will be endowed with a guaranteed prizepool of $5 million. The main event known under the name Borgata Spring Open Championship at $560, constitutes also the sticking point of this festival. Its kick-off is planned for April 14th and is rewarded with a guarantee of $1 million.

This week, the Portuguese government should adopt the bill on online gambling. It’s a measure taken following an economic context. In fact, Portugal hopes to boost the local economy thanks to gambling income. As a reminder, this country has already tried to regulate the market in the month of November 2013. But this first attempt failed. No detail on the clauses of this new legislation was provided yet. However, considering the text established by the Social Democratic Party of Portugal (PSD) and the People’s Party (CDS) in 2013, Portugal gets ready to open a monopoly market; an error that numerous European countries have already committed.

With February which is already breaking into its last days, poker tournaments begin also to register a good rhythm after a beginning of the year rather calm, of course apart from some regular appointments. Concerning the World Poker Tour Fallsview Poker Classic (WPT) in Canada which has gathered 383 opponents, it’s Matthew Lapossie who stood out during its Main Event with a buy-in of $5,000. For Lapossie, this triumph which has allowed him to pocket $342,266 is one of his greatest achievements in live poker tournaments. Before, his prizelist was limited to a 7th place in the European Poker Tour Barcelona. In Fallsview, it’s after having ousted his compatriot Dylan Wilkerson that the Canadian had access to the title. For the runner-up of the tournament, he nevertheless pocketed $228,806. Let us note that after this first Canadian stage, the WPT will stop over in Los Angeles in March from 1st to 6th of this year, for the tournament LA Poker Classic, and in San Diego in March from 10th to 14th for the Bay 101 Shooting Star, before starting the great festival of Venice.

The French government has just named Charles Coppolani as successor of Jean-François Vilotte, the outgoing president of the French online gambling regulation authority (ARJEL). According to media information published in January, two nominees were in the running for the position, namely Coppolani and the State Councilor Maurice Meda. The verdict has finally fallen and the decree which stipulates the naming has been released in the Official journal. The new leader of online poker watchdog and sports betting on internet occupied previously the post of chief of staff of the economic and financial general control. He is stemming from the Institut d’Etudes Politiques of Paris and from the Ecole Nationale d’Administration (ENA). Coppolani has also a degree of public law.

For its first stopover in Switzerland, the Barrière Poker Tour (BPT) Deepstack has registered a huge success. In fact, it has recorded a wide field of 417 participants. The poker tournament ended by the victory of a local player named Nathan Kecks. Let us note that it is about the greatest performance of the Swiss player in live tournaments. According to some sources, he has stopped to play at poker after few so-so results, including two paid places in Italian tournaments. However, someone has encouraged him to participate in the BPT Montreux, by paying his buy-in. We have to say that this person was right to believe in Nathan Keck, because the latter has succeeded to dominate a wide field composed of talented players. The Helvetian player has got a reward of CHF 58,631 for his victory, which equals to about €48,000.

Last week, the kick-off of the World Poker Tour (WPT) Fallsview Poker Classic took place at the Fallsview Casino Resort, in Niagara Falls, in Canada.

It’s about Mike Leah, the champion of the NL Hold’em 8-Handed at $5,000 of the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure 2014. Thus, he has just signed his second greatest achievement of the year, which has awarded him a gain of $118,982. Let us note that this event gathered 81 players. Since the beginning, Leah has already developed a high-level game. He started the final with the second biggest stack of the table. Despite some difficulties during this last day of the competition, Leah managed to win the title by defeating Geoffrey McNeely in the final duel.

A month after his victory at the Deepstack Open Paris, Jeremy Nock is crowned champion of the event High Roller at £3,300 of the United Kingdom Poker Championship (UKPC). This poker tournament took place at the Dusk Till Dawn casino of Nottingham, in England. Before winning this great trophy rewarded with a prize of £61,000, the happy winner has first crossed a field of 21 participants composed of British elites of poker, following the image of Robert Cooper, Andrew Hills and Adam Reynolds. The latter have been eliminated before the bubble burst. During the final day, Nock has also to face prestigious opponents such as the chipleader Matt Davenport and the pro of online poker Christopher Brammer. Both bowed respectively in the 5th and 6th position.

For the great happiness of fanatics of poker in Norway, the country is finally going to authorize the organization of live poker tournaments from 2015; and this, thanks to the Minister of Culture, Thorhild Widvey. However, some restrictions are imperative. For example, there is the prohibition of organizing events endowed with too high buy-in and prizepool. The tournaments should also be held in land-based casinos or clubs operating legally. From 2015 thus, a Norwegian city could be elected as host of the Norwegian Championship. Let us note that the edition 2014 of this event is planned to take place at the Hotel Citywest Conference Leisure and Golf Resort in Dublin, in Ireland, from March 5th to 13th of this year.

Thanks to his second place in the poker tournament World Poker Tour (WPT) Lucky Hearts Poker Open, which has awarded him a bonus of $190,039, Shannon Shorr is from now on in the top 10 of the ranking Global Poker Index 300 (GPI). He has won 7 places and occupies the 9th position. He is among the players who knew a strong progress for this week.

Ronnie Pease is elected champion of the Card Poker Player Tour (CPPT) Foxwoods 2014. It is an obvious victory as the player of poker has showed his strength since the beginning of the round. He has finished the first day of competition as chipleader, and he managed to keep this title of honor at the end of the Day 2. During the final day, Pease has persevered. Thus, after 11 hours of game, he was qualified for the ultimate duel opposing him to the champion of the World Series Of Poker 2012 Chris Tryba. It was an epic battle which lasted about three hours. Despite his advantage in chips number, Tryba didn’t manage to slow down his young opponent. Little by little, Pease has increased his chipcount and has eventually eliminated Tryba. He has thus won the trophy and the first prize of $91,347, defined following a deal between the two parties. This victory has also allowed him to improve his position in the ranking Player of The Year, as he has amassed 480 points.

Indian people are real fanatics of gambling; which has incited numerous operators to open websites of online gambling in India. However, the latter risk committing a crime, given that the law which governs the market of online gambling in the country remains fuzzy.

That causes a vast confusion within operators and authorities. Recently, the Mumbai crime branch has dismantled websites of gambling which operated illegally. Numerous other gambling websites could also know the same fate for a reason of non conformity to Indian laws.
