The “Poker Kitchen” can get a little crowded during breaks. Sometimes when this happens you meet new people simply because everyone is looking for a place to sit so they can stuff some substance down their throats and get back to their tournament table, all within 20 minutes. The members of the media don’t necessarily have to rush as much as the poker players, so they have time to listen to some of the rushed conversations. One conversation at a nearby table caught my attention because they were talking about bad-beats in a new, refreshing way.

Everest Poker Files Lawsuit for Second Time in Three Months
On April 1st Ultra Internet Media, Everest’s parent company, filed a lawsuit against Harrah’s, who owns and operates the World Series of Poker, in an attempt to get out of a contract. The reason they filed this lawsuit was because WSOP telecasts on French television replaced the Everest Poker logo that’s on the WSOP tables with a superimposed Full Tilt Logo. This week they filed a second lawsuit, because the WSOP is still using Everest logo’s on their tables, and also still hanging Everest banners from the rafters of the poker rooms at the Rio. Ultra Internet Media contends that the reason for the second lawsuit is “defendants are refusing to remove the trademarks in an effort to try to force payment by Everest for defendant’s use of such marks, and in order to bolster the legitimacy of the World Series of Poker in the minds of tournament participants, fans and the viewing public.”
No 9-to-5 Job for WSOP Bracelet Winner Jeffery “jpapola” Papola
Jeffery Papola is in his third year of law school at Pace University Law School, but you won’t see him in court anytime soon. Papola, who won his first career WSOP bracelet this past week, told an interviewer , “As far as practicing law, I do not see myself being able to do that, because I really do not like the 9 to 5 thing.” He also said that his dislike for “9-to-5” work is what originally drew him to poker. His top finishes will certainly keep him coming back to the game. Papola earned $667,433 for his victory in the $5,000 No Limit Holdem/Six Handed event.

Limit holdem players united for this big event, the most prestigious LHE championship of the year. With a $10,000 buy-in and a WSOP bracelet up for grabs, it drew an elite group of players, some well-known pros, others satellite winners, and even some relative amateurs who worked on their bankroll for a long time to be able to afford it. They showed up for the late 5:00pm start on Tuesday, June 15, and prepared to limit bet as far as they could go.
All in all, there were 171 players who bought in to the tournament, and though that number was a dip from the 185-player field of 2009, the prize pool still grew to $1,607,400. Read full
When members of the media know that it is Day 20 of the 2010 World Series of Poker but do not know what day of the week or month it is, we know we’re entrenched in the Rio Convention Center.

Seven events playing out at one time – who wouldn’t lose a little bit of sanity amidst the madness?

In an effort to recapture my love for poker – that gnawing need to play cards that used to drive my thirst to learn – I've started to play Limit Holdem.
It's still Holdem, a great game that may always be my favorite, even if my love for my poker mistresses, Razz and Omaha, continue to grow.
I've only played for a short time, but I've learned a few things about poker, and more specifically Holdem, during my play at limit, which right now tends to be at $2/$4 on Full Tilt Poker.
