The World Poker Tour has yet to see improvement in numbers despite a number of moves it has been making at the beginning of this year.

The WPT has released its numbers for the second quarter of 2008 and the results are weak, but the company seems to remain optimistic and confident that the moves they’ve been making will pay off in the end.

“We continue to be disappointed in our online gaming results and have begun directing resources in our growing sponsorship business,” said Steve Lipscomb, WPT’s president and CEO. “On the other hand, we continue to be encouraged by the strength of our brand in the domestic and international marketplace.”

Colorado Springs, Colo. (PRWEB) August 6, 2008 — In what will be a record-setting event, one lucky poker player will win a Grand Prize of 21,000,000 frequent flyer miles this weekend as part of the Continental OnePass Poker Tournament.

The 21 million-mile Grand Prize represents the largest frequent flyer mileage prize ever awarded in the 27 year history of frequent flyer programs. Continental is hosting the tournament and offering the enormous prize in celebration of the OnePass program’s 21st anniversary.

On BoardingArea.com, a special “LiveFlyer” blog has been created to report on the event as it happens.

A recent post on the BoardingArea blog outlines some of the items a 21 million-mile prize could be redeemed for, including:

The World Series of Poker has always attracted a competitive international field. Interestingly, this year’s WSOP featured more players from Russia than ever before.

That’s a trend that’s likely to continue.

Last year, the main event’s final table included Alex Kravchenko, who finished in fourth place.

This year, Ivan Demidov sits in the final table’s second chip position. He’s got a good shot at bringing the title to his Russian homeland when play resumes in November.

Two other Russians won WSOP bracelets this year. Vitaly Lunkin won a no-limit Hold’em event and Svetlana Gromenkova won the Ladies Championship. Also, Nikolay Evdakov broke the WSOP record for most cashes in a single year with an astonishing ten cashes. The pre

The world’s second largest online poker - Full Tilt Poker - announced a down period for the entire day Tuesday. European poker addicts in particular were most affected as the maintenance schedule was being conducted via California time (Pacific Standard Time).

3AM PST to 8AM PST to be more specific. For the Euro crowd that meant they would be unable to access Full Tilt until some time in the mid afternoon if not later. Those living in the Pacific US states would be least affected by the downtime.

The long closure period was presumably scheduled for a time during the morning when most US customers were either sleeping in, heading for work and least likely to be playing online poker. But addicts are addicts.

SHAGGY DOGS: TO CALL a person’s bluff is to test their claims and issue a challenge for them to reveal the truth.

Poker, from which the phrase derives, is essentially a game of deception where each player pretends to have the winning hand and the others have to consider the truth of that assertion against the value of the cards in their own hand.

Once play begins, the chips (money tokens) are placed on the table and then the chips are down (things are getting serious). The expression poker-faced, meaning to reveal no outward emotion, comes from this part of the game.

Thanks, in part, to an Arizona television station’s news expose, a number of California casinos are ready to convert to lead-free poker chips. In an expose conducted by Channel 15 (ABC) Phoenix , the station found that chips made by Paulson Gaming Supplies had lead levels in excess of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards.

Research compiled by the Center for Environmental Health (CEHCA) find that Paulson chips are currently in use at 28 of the 30 largest US casinos, as well as in poker rooms in South America and Asia. The GPI line can also be purchased for private use from retail locations.
