The European Poker Tour (EPT) announced in October that it will organize a stop in Malta this coming season to replace the EPT San Remo. The latter has become less and less popular among poker fans these days. During the past ten years, this Mediterranean island has attracted a great number of tourists thanks to its idyllic settings. Teased by the popularity of Malta along with the fact that more and more tourists indulge themselves in casino activities during their stay in the island, the EPT has made it big by including Malta in the EPT 2015 schedule. That of the EPT Malta was released by the organizers earlier this week. The event will actually be run from March18 to 26, 2015, in the poker room of St.Julian Portomaso Casino. Featuring 67 live poker tournaments, the EPT Malta 2015 promises to be enticing. Moreover, these events are accessible via various entry-fees so that everyone can easily participate in.

With the year 2014 drawing to an end, a number of poker players have managed to wrap it up with seven-figure score win by playing in high stake tournaments, especially with events tagged over $ 100,000 of buy-in: the Super High Roller. Let us have a look at them. The top event of the year remains the 46th Annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) “$ 1 million buy-in” Big One for One Drop (held last summer). Daniel Colman won the event to take home $ 15,306,668. With this prize, Colman is ranked No.1 as the biggest Money Maker in poker tournaments this year. The rest of the Top 10 includes Martin Jacobson ($10,786,227), Daniel Negreanu ($ 10,284,118), Felix Vincent Stephensen ($5,167,150 ), Christoph Vogelsang ($4,530,775 ), Thomas Marchese ($4,472,478 ), Mike McDonald ($4,423,442 ), Scott Seiver ($4,092,553 ), Jorryt van Hoof ($3,929,477 ) and Phil Ivey ($3,787,707 ).

With the year drawing to a close, gambling market in New York State is getting well. Last week, three casino projects were approved in the northern part of the State, in Sullivan County, Schenectady and Seneca, to be precise. Casino expansion plan within New York was voted in 2012, but it needs nearly two years (December 2014) for the three successful bidders (of the 16 applicants) to be granted an official go-ahead. According to a statement released by the Gaming Facility Location Board, the three casino projects will generate more than 3,200 full-time jobs and $ 265 million in tax revenues, including $ 136 million for licensing fees. As almost all dusts are settled concerning the completion of this hard-boiled casino development process, N Y legislators can now set a great focus on online poker regulation. Since the process here-in won’t be finished this year as many developers want it to be, we can expect that New York will have regulated poker market next year.

A few weeks earlier, the organizers of the World Series of Poker had released a brief detail of the 46th Annual WSOP. On Tuesday, they published further information about the world biggest poker festival (not the complete 2015 schedule though). The full agenda is slated to be released early in January, 2015. As usual, the WSOP 2015 will run at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, in Las Vegas, and kicks-off on May 27 to conclude on July 14, 2015. For nearly two months of festivity, the WSOP 2015 features about 50 events from $ 565 of entry-fee. Although the full schedule won’t be known until January, 2015, evidence is that Rio All-Suite will be vibrating under the rhythms of enticing poker events, especially with the highly anticipated $ 10,000 buy-in Main Event.

The judicial case involving two famed Paris-based gambling clubs, “Aviation Club de France” and “Cercle Cadet”, is expected to be over in the coming weeks with the imminent ruling of a new decree which will regulate services within gambling clubs. Recall that both facilities have been placed under judicial supervision, the ACF being in September and Cercle Cadet, in October. Many are poker fans who are eagerly waiting the day when these French gambling clubs reopen their doors, and particularly the time when they rerun internationally-renowned poker tournaments. After weeks of waiting, the decree amending the aging legislation on gambling clubs in France has just been passed. It was published on the State’s Official Newspapers dated Saturday, December 20, 2014. The new decree actually puts all gambling clubs under the same legislation as that of casinos. It will come into force by January 1st, 2015.

While Mohsin Charania first-placed the World Poker Tour Five Diamond World Poker Classic Main Event, Andrew Lichtenberger has just topped the 55-player field of the World Poker Tour Alpha8 at Bellagio, Las Vegas, to claim the title. Famously known as "Lucky Chewy", the online poker guru cashes $ 2,104,245 of the $ 5,395,500 prize pool generated by the field of 55 participants. The $ 100,000 buy-in event held in the poker room of Bellagio saw the participation of notable names such as Daniel Colman, Dan Smith, Erik Seidel, Antonio Esfandiari, Scott Seiver, JC Tran, Brandon Steven, Phil "Unabomber" Laak and Jason Mercier. Surprisingly enough, none of them managed to reach the final table (of six).

The gambling facilities in Australia are very active in organizing events for poker game enthusiasts. If the country is known for the hosting of major poker tournaments such as the Aussie Millions Poker Championship or the World Series of Poker Asia Pacific, other new event had just took place this weekend at Sydney Poker Palace: the Poker Palace Championships (PPC). If the PPC has not the same size as the two previous tournaments in this Asia-Pacific region, it offered a great challenge to poker player who have made the trip. The Main Event of the Poker Palace Championships attracted a field of 89 players generating a prize pool of $ 89,175.

The World Poker Tour Five Diamond concluded with the final table of the Main Event which ended after a hard fought won by Mohsin Charania. 586 players have registered for this poker event held at Bellagio casino in Las Vegas, but only six players held until the last day. After six days of play, the victory finally was attributed to Mohsin Charania. Two regular high roller poker player were among the six finalists, but they have been less fortunate as having been eliminated prematurely. This is the case of Tobias Reinkemeier who was eliminated in the 6th place even if he had begun the day with the second biggest stack. The German settled with a gain of $ 272,842. And it is the same for Ryan Fee who left the tournament in the 5th position for $ 218,842.

As we all know, the Global Poker Index (GPI) publishes a weekly up-to-dated list of the Top 300 tournament poker players in the world, along with the GPI Player of the Year ranking. Dan Smith remains on top of the GPI’s Top 300 for 17 weeks now. He is ranked ahead of Ole Schemion (3rd position), Davidi Kitai (2nd position, +1), Ami Barer (+2), Daniel Negreanu, Scott Seiver (-3), Olivier Busquet, Pratyush Buddiga (+35) and Jacob Schindler (+1) whilst Stephen Chidwick (+4) completes the Top 10. The biggest movers of this week include Buddiga who jumps up from 43rd to 8th position thanks to his $ 543,683-first-place award in the Aria $ 25,000 buy-in High Roller I poker tournament last week. Those who reach ITM places in the recently-concluded 2014 EPT Prague also see their ranking position rise up high; included among them are Thomas Butzhammer (16th), Albert Daher (31st), Omar Lakhdari (39th), Ilkin Amirov (40th), Vladimir Schemelev (95th), Vyacheslav Stoyanov (109th) and Liv Boeree (118th).

While the European Poker Tour Prague 2014 has just concluded with Stephen Graner grabbing the title, the poker room of Bellagio, in Las Vegas, is still abuzz with the World Poker Tour Five Diamond World Poker Classic Main Event 2014. After several days of intense action, the room is now preparing for Day 4 battle. The $ 10,400 buy-in WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic Main Event actually seduce 586 players, but only 78 remain in contention of the highly coveted title. Among those who make it through Day 4, 54 players will make the money while 15 of them will cash over $ 50,000 of prize. Interestingly, an enticing check of $ 1,477,890 will be awarded to the lucky one.

After ten years of activity in the supply of data protection service, people identities and digital transactions on the web, OpenTrust Keep Service, however one of the European market leaders, had just announced the end of its activities. "This end of service concerns both French and Danish regulations," said the company in a statement warning its members which will take effect from April 30, 2015. Since 2004, the year of its launch, OpenTrust has provided technology solutions to companies and business groups in over 175 countries, both in North America, the Middle East and especially in Europe. Several companies have trusted it in the treatment of their data related to the use of electronic identity cards and digital passports. OpenTrust is also a provider of applications and software to protect and control access to sensitive digital data of a company.

The final table of 7 of the Season 11 of the European Poker Tour Prague 2014 (EPT Prague) Main Event has just concluded with Stephen Graner sealing the win. Following his sixth-place finish in the WSOP 2014 Millionaire Maker event for $273,854 last summer, the American poker pro now wraps the EPT Prague 2014 up with € 969,000 of prize. This is actually his very first big feat in a renowned European poker tournament. As a reminder, the € 5,300 buy-in 2014 European Poker Tour Prague Main Event has seduced a record-breaking field of 107 players. Rémi Castaignon was the unique survivor in whom all the Frenchmen who participated in the battle_believed to grab the title back to France. However, the 2013 EPT Deauville champion fell to 7th place; he had entered the day as a short stack.

The Principality of Andorra, a European country between the borders separating Spain from France, is actively working on the way to pass a bill (proposed in 2013) which would regulate gambling activities in the country. The opening of casino and online poker market is listed among them. By passing the draft law, the government expects to enhance its economy. It is worth noting that in Andorra, tourism remains the No.1 engine of local economic growth. Every year, about10 million visitors come to Andorra. And local authorities are betting on the regulation of gambling industry to attract much more tourists. In spite of the big challenge the Principality will have to face with this initiative, Andorra is moving forward cautiously while avoiding emulating the US-gambling-market model.

The European Poker Tour Prague 2014 Main Event reaches its ultimate day this Wednesday after an intense five-day poker battle at the Hilton Prague Hotel. It is still worth mentioning that 1,017 poker players join the festivity this year, but only 7 of them now remain in contention of the highly coveted trophy. 22 survivors battled it out on Tuesday (Day 5); soon after five 90-minute levels of play, the 22-player field of the EPT Prague 2014 Main Event gradually trimmed to its final 7. USA’s Stephen Graner wrapped up the day on top of the chip count. He now possesses 12,405,000 chips heading to the Final; of course, he is the best-placed to win the title and eventually eclipse his poor final-table finish in the 2014 WSOP poker tournament in Las Vegas last summer. Recall that the American poker pro finished 6th place in the 2014 World Series Of Poker Millionaire Maker, a not-too-bad finish which allowed him to add $ 273,854 into his career-earnings.

The World Poker Tour (WPT) is one of the world’s most attended poker circuits alongside the World Series of Poker (WSOP). Unlike the early presence of the WSOP in the global scale, Asia remains another continent to conquer for the WPT. Since the year 2013, the WSOP has already served Asia and its poker fans with a number of circuits including the WSOP Asia-Pacific. It takes a few years of wait before the WPT could prepare everything and land in Asia. In fact, the WPT recently signed a partnership agreement with Ourgame International Holdings Limited; the deal would see both parties jointly organize WPT-stamped poker tournaments in a dozen Asian countries. Recall that in 2009, the WPT tentatively made inroads into the Chinese poker market with the holding of the WPT National held in the poker room of MGM Grand Sanya. This time, the WPT-Ourgame tandem is ripe to really enter the Asian market.

As agreed, the 61 survivors of Day 3 battle in the Season 11 European Poker Tour Prague Main Event returned Monday (Day 4) in the poker room of Hilton Prague Hotel, at the end of which only 22 players would make it through Day 5. After five levels of play, Germany’s Fabio Sperling finishes on top of the chip count; he possesses a total stack of 4,357,000 chips while his nearest rival, the American “Stephen Graner”, has a million fewer chips compared to his (3,228,000). Some notable players are also entering the Day 5 in a good position including Britain’s Sam Grafton (2,610,000), Belgium’s Davidi Kitai (2,307,000), USA’s Vanessa Selbst (2,040,000), Greece’s Miltiadis Kyriakides (1,900,000) and Hungary’s Andras Nemeth (1,813,000) as well.

The outcome of the legal case involving Aviation Club de France (ACF), one of the most attended Paris-based poker rooms, is still uncertain after two months of closure. However, this week is expected to be a great moment both for ACF and other operational gambling clubs. France Inter recently informed the amendment of May 5, 1947 Decree concerning the regulation of gambling, poker included. Indeed, the actual Minister of Interior “Bernard Cazeneuve” is expected to sign a new decree which would amend the aging gambling law of 1947. Curiously enough, the new law that will trash the 1947-dated one up (along with the July 15, 1947 Ministerial Direction) is apparently representing a certain reinforcement of legal obligations in gambling clubs and the adoption of a regulation that rules casino facilities. Eventually, it may be that the new decree paves the way for casino development in Paris.

For a couple of years now, Macau has become a must-see poker destination especially thanks to its Cash Games tables on which prizes at stake are relatively high. Thus, the city has gained great attention of both renowned professional poker players and amateurs as well. In the past few years, no further details about the holding of such events have been leaked until Tom Hall and other players recently talked about it on Tweeter. Since then, fans have been able to learn a little more about it and especially the place where the Big Game takes place. Indeed, it is about Poker King Club (PKC), a sumptuous poker room inside Macau’s StarWorld Casino. Teasing with massive stakes ranging from $ 4,000 / $ 8,000 to $ 12,500 / $ 25,000, numerous are renowned poker pros who have joined PKC.

While the $ 50,000 Super High Roller concluded with Leonid Markin winning the first-place prize, the Season 11of the European Poker Tour Prague Main Event is still running with the Day 3 held on Sunday. 200 players battled it out but only 61 would make it through the next phase after five 90-minute levels of play. The Day 4 is taking place this Monday at noon to play it down to 24 survivors. Simon Mattsson is heading to the Day 4 battle with more confidence; he leads the 61 survivors with 1,790,000 chips. Coming second is Stephen Graner with 1,713,000 chips, followed by Davidi Kitai (1,364,000), Jonathan Wong (1,295,000), Petr Jelinek (1,191,000), Militiadis Kyriakides (1,178,000), Bjorn Wiesler (1,084,000), Pablo Sanz Quiles (1,075,000) and Francesco Grieco (1,054,000); armed with 1,007,000 chips,Vanessa Selbst completes the chip count’s Top 10. George Danzer, Georgios Sotiropoulos, Dylan Linde, Sam Grafton and Balazs Botond are also included among the 61 survivors.

All attention of online poker platforms are now turning on the cheating case involving a Danish poker player. After Phil Ivey’s case and the "edge-sorting" scandal, a Danish High Stakes player is now subject to investigation by the Economic Crime Department in Copenhagen. According to the authority, the alleged player, whose identity has not been disclosed yet, would make use of Trojan horse software (Trojans) to see the cards of other players. His millions of dollars of earnings on High Stakes tables are now questioned. While the poker community is reluctant about the existence of such fraud and investigation knowing the fact that the name of the alleged one remains veiled, evidence is that the Copenhagen’s Police Commissioner “Torben Koldbrog” has addressed the issue recently.

Leonid Markin bested a field of 51 poker players to claim the European Poker Tour Prague 2014 Super High Roller title. Only 7 of the 51participants who paid €50,000 of entry-fee would make the money in the race. The final table of the poker tournament was held last Thursday with 7 survivors returning to Hilton Prague Hotel. The seven remaining players include three Russians (Leonid Markin, Vladimir Troyanovskiy and Ivan Soshnikov), two Englishmen (Paul Newey and Stephen Chidwick), one Finnish (Juha Helppi) and one American (Brian Roberts). The last representatives of France were eliminated on the previous day. Statistically speaking, those who represent Russia dominate the final since two of them secure on top of the chip count heading to the ultimate day: Leonid Markin (3,350,000 chips) and Vladimir Troyanovskiy (3,000,000 chips).

Alongside the European Poker Tour Prague (EPT), a great number of card game fans have made the trip to the capital of the Czech Republic, most of whom begin the series with the poker tournament called the Eureka Poker Tour. Thanks to an exciting schedule, coupled by a super effective planning, the 2014 Eureka Poker Tour has seduced 1,738 participants during the three starting flights of the Main Event, with more than 950 players from Day 1C. When Day 2 resumed, only 57 players remain in the hunt for the € 280,000 first-place prize. Czech Antonin Duda seats on top of the chip count with 1,740,000 chips.

Last September, the former president of the Mexican Gaming Commission, Fernando Zarate Salgado, announced that a new draft law on gambling and online poker in Mexico has been finalized in order to be submitted at the House of Representatives. This was done, because the bill was adopted by the Lower House last week and it waits for the approbation of the Senate for its implementation. But its approval by the Senate could take longer than expected according to the announcement made by its president Luis Miguel Barbosa. Indeed, recently the President of the Senate of Mexico announced that the online gambling draft law’s voting in the country could be delayed until 2015 while it had to be done during the current session, which will close on December 15.

The World Poker Tour National Paris (WPT) gave a great moment of thrill since last week at the Cercle Clichy Montmartre. The Main Event has been won by Laurent Polito. Indeed, Laurent Polito shone again in this WPT National Series poker circuit for the third time to be more precise, this time in front of a record field of 682 poker player. In January 2013, Polito won his first victory in the poker room of the Aviation Club de France (ACF) face to a field of 229 players at the WPT National Paris. Last May, he won again in Cannes during which 390 participants were registered.

A total of 683 poker player were present in this Parisian poker room in order to battle for the title of the WPT National. This poker series beat for the occasion a new record attendance if the current record is held by the step of Barcelona with its 515 participants. The edition 2014 of the WPT National Paris differed from the previous steps by its four starting days, which probably increased the field. At the beginning of the Day 4, it remained 14 players only among the 683 who started. A regular of the ACF circle, a circle closed a few months earlier, is the chipleader at the end of Day 3.

The Belgian Poker Challenge (WPT) was the tournament of the end of year in Belgium. This 10th edition brings together stars of poker game in the poker room of the casino of Namur for a weekend.

After multiple unsuccessful attempts to legalize online poker in California for years, local lawmakers have just introduced a new bill early this week. Submitted by Democrat Assemblyman Mike Gatto, the draft law named "Internet Poker Consumer Protection Act of 2015" is expected to pave California’s way to join New Jersey, Delaware and Nevada, and become the fourth US state to have a regulated online poker market. As mentioned above, this is not the first attempt that California’s lawmakers tried to bring the bill to a vote. Actually, the draft law has been discussed for many times. However, the state legislators have failed to reach an agreement with the main actors involved.

As is the tradition at the Global Poker Index (GPI), it annually awards the best players of the year. This year, the GPI has signed a partnership deal with Swiss watchmaker Roger Dubuis. The agreed sponsorship would see Roger Dubuis supply each of the GPI Players of the Year 2014 in America, Europe and Asia with high quality luxury watches. Indeed, those who will be named “Poker Player of the Year” in these continents will be given "La Monegasque-designed” timepieces as an award. The partnership marks a strong commitment of the Roger Dubuis in helping the GPI materialize its “sportify project”. Swiss watchmaker Roger Dubuis is actually the non-gambling sponsor to partner with highly renowned poker tournament organizers. After all, watches and bracelets designed by big brands have become common awards in live tournaments such as the World Series of Poker (WSOP), the World Poker Tour (WPT) or the European Poker Tour (EPT).

In a few days, Prague will play host to one of the largest poker tournaments in Europe. Actually the European Poker Tour (EPT) is making a stop in the Czech Republic from December 7 to 17. Named the EPT Prague, the Czech poker festival features a series of 59 events. Running the 3rd leg of the EPT’s Season XI, the EPT Prague is a not-to-be-missed meeting for poker fans who want to discover some new formats that the organizers have included into the schedule.

As expected, many were the poker enthusiasts joining a 100 % poker festival, the Brazilian Series of Poker (BSOP), held at the Sheraton WTC in São Paulo, Brazil. Hosting 36 events, including the BSOP Main Event called BSOP Millions, the poker room of Sheraton WTC vibrated under an exciting nine-day series of poker battle with a total prize pool of $ 2.7 million ($7 million Brazilian reais). Since its creation in 2006, the BSOP is the second most popular poker tournament in the world behind the like of Las Vegas, the World Series of Poker.

The month of October saw the lowest figure since the beginning of this year. Revenue generated by Nevada’s e-poker industry totaled $ 665,000 in October. Surprisingly, it had reached $ 1,037,000 in June thanks to the World Series of Poker festival, booming the attendance rate on poker sites. In fact, the 45th edition of the WSOP held this summer in Las Vegas has been a great revenue windfall for legit e-poker rooms in the US.

The third starting day of the € 1,100 Main Event of the edition 2014 of the Belgian Poker Challenge (BPC) brought the number of participants to 683 poker players. 301 entries were recorded on Tuesday, December 2 in the poker room of Casino of Namur at the Day 1C.

Many international poker stars took part in this and we can mention Jack Salter, Sorel Mizzi, Bretrand "ElkY" Grospellier, Chino Rheem, Davidi Kitai and Jeff Madsen. If Sorel Mizzi (143,500), Jack Salter (75.100) and ElkY (21,800) are among the survivors, Chino Rheem, Davidi Kitai and Jeff Madsen were eliminated rather than expected.

Poker enthusiasts have discovered the concept imagined by Roger Hairabedian with the beginning of the first season of Marvellous Poker Tour (MPT). As agreed, Morocco inaugurated last weekend the MPT circuit in the Casino La Mamounia in Marrakesh. The event was supposed to attract many players because of the new concept introduced by "Big Roger" in a poker tournament, that is to say a special gain scale of 30% of the participants, but it appears that the result was not reached because the Main Event with the buy-in of € 1,079 had only 97 registered. This number is far from the 300 participants of the Marrakesh Poker Open, but it is important to specify that the MPT is only at its first edition, but better communication and above all online qualification availability should boost the other stages.

Online poker market in the US is now in a bad way; the solution to which may come from a liquidity sharing agreement as some suggest. E-poker players in New Jersey are eagerly waiting for the possibility of a larger player’s pool thanks to a poker compact with other states where online poker is regulated. However, things are not going that way, regarding the comments shared by the Director of the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, David Rebuck. The latter outlined that a liquidity sharing agreement with other states such as Delaware and Nevada_ the two other states alongside New Jersey to have a regulated online poker market in the US_ is not yet on the horizon. Despite all this, certainty is that the authority is aware of the importance of the deal, but such alliance is not a priority in New Jersey, at least for the moment, Rebuck said.

Since last weekend, many are poker fans who have joined the “Casino of Namur”, Belgium, and poker participated in the edition 2014 of the Belgian Poker Challenge.

The invitational € 1,000 buy-in event concluded at 10 p.m with Jasper Van Vlasselaer booking the win.
