The first online poker show from ESPN, called the Inside Deal, debuts today, Tuesday August 4th, and the featured guest is the man many say is responsible for the poker boom of recent years. The Moneymaker Effect owes its existence to one Chris Moneymaker, a former accountant turned world poker champion when he won the 2003 World Series of Poker main event and $2.5 million. Moneymaker is one of the first of many poker insiders that will appear on the show, which will be broadcast online from ESPN, the official broadcasters of the WSOP.

Many poker pros will be putting their thoughts before US lawmakers in the near future, hoping to change some minds in the nation’s capital of Washington, D.C. Players like Chris Ferguson, Greg Raymer (both World Series of Poker champions) and Andy Bloch are ready to explain to Congressional members that online poker would do far from harming the US, but rather would be a benefit. The “Fly In”, as the meeting of poker pros is being called, is being organized by the Poker Players Alliance.

The players know that Hellmuth is going to play tight, giving up very valuable hands because he does not want to play for all his chips, This year, however, Hellmuth put the poker world on notice –he has changed his style; he will now play a bit looser. He is doing very well with over 100k chips, starting with less than 30k.
It’s hard to really gauge who’s going to go far in the main event based on chip counts during the early stages of play as even the chip leaders can easily bust out at any time, but at least it’s nice to see who’s currently in the running.

The kick off of the main event of the World Series of Poker is expected to be accompanied by some sort of fanfare, such as Las Vegas showgirls or something similar, but this year the 40th anniversary main event was hosted by a big man in a hair suit. As the sponsor of the 2009 WSOP is Jack Links Beef Jerky, it makes a sort of sense that they would use their current mascot, the legendary big foot (which also goes by the name Sasquach) to say Shuffle Up and Deal.
The PokerNews Cup event will once again be taking place in the fall, from September 27th and running through October 5th, 2009. The event will be held again at one of the largest and most dazzling gaming facilities in the Southern Hemisphere known as the Crown Casino, Melbourne.
