The APT is officially open PartyPoker – Asian Poker Tour Macau. It doesn’t seem like it has been 7 months since I was over in Manila for the Asian Poker Tour event there but the time has flown by and here we are at the fantastic Galaxy Starworld Hotel and Casino for the Asian Poker Tour event in Macau. The guys at the Asian Poker Tour really know how to put on a great...Last PartyPoker.com online qualifier bus...
As reported by PokerNews. Miika Puumalainen Eliminated in 59th Place ($108,047) It took two hands to eliminate Miika Puumalainen from this year’s Main Event, but they came in rapid succession. It was the first hand that was most damaging. Action folded to Puumalainen in the small blind. He limped into the pot in front of big blind Francois Balmigere, who raised to...Day Six at the WSOP Main Event...

Newly signed grassroots team member Remy Biechel makes it through to Day 5 but is short-stacked with...

After the luxury of the day off, the remaining 2044 players in the years Main Event will play 5 levels today which should see us get close to the bubble.
PartyPoker had 26 players still in the tournament and there was a definite air of nervous excitement in the Mike Sexton Suite this morning as the players arrived for breakfast. Our highest placed player was Miika from Finland who was...

Monster Day 2B has them squeezed into every spare bit of space. A record 2924 players took part in Day 2B and there were players and tables almost in every available bit of floor space. For the first hour of play today they did not let any spectators into the various tournament rooms. Rumour spread that this would continue all day which had many people concerned if they were supporting...PartyPoker – World Series of Poker Day...

The big news for Day 1 D was simply the amount of players trying to register themselves for the main event. The tournament organisers were expecting it to be busy, possibly even selling out but they surely could not have expected the scenes that greeted us yesterday as we arrived at The Rio at 10am. There were at least 300 people queuing past The Mike Sexton Suite all the way up to the...

Despite Phil Hellmuth rather typically brash and tasteless entrance today which managed to attract all the media’s full attention, there was actually a poker tournament going on inside. Day 1 C attracted a total of 1696 players including 5 of last years “November Nine”. This was about double yesterdays number which shows that many players decided not to play on the 4th of July...

Day 1 B was a much quieter affair with only 873 players sitting down. This was possibly because it was 4th of July and a big holiday weekend here in the US. PartyPoker had 23 players starting their journey towards WSOP fame and fortune. For some it was the first time they have played in a big live tournament. One guy has made his way to Las Vegas for a cost of only $8 and won his way...
