This and That

There is a new World Series of Poker Main Event Champion, Jerry Yang. And I think poker will be better because of it. Jerry is a professional, a psychologist, which can only help legitimize Poker. He won his seat by winning a $225 satellite tournament in California instead of paying the $10,000 entry fee and calls himself a "part time" player. He plays mostly B&M Poker but was sponsored by Full Tilt. The Jamie Gold era is at an end and Poker will only be better because of it. He was 8th in chips at the final table and pretty much dominated it as he knocked out 7 of the final table players.


Neteller has announced that it is going to be able to start refunding the money that has been in limbo for so long. State tuned for further developments. I have $600 dollar tied up in Neteller and that was suppose to be my Golf money. Mrs. Wolverine will be happy to get that money back.

The British Open is underway and the leaderboard has a few big names on it including one Tiger Woods. In 3 more days a new champion will be crowned. The weather may be the biggest factor in who wins. The United States has dominated this tournament for the last 10 years and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
