We are officially in the home stretch for the month of May, as today marks the third to last day of the month, and we are very close to crowning the champion for the Ongame Leaderboard. But, there are a few days left, so we’ll take a look at today, May 29th. There has been [...]

Vincente Perez, 57, of Macon, Georgia pleaded guilty over the fatal stabbing that took place at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic city.

It was Wednesday, which meant game 4 of the Gauntlet VII.

Appearing in the PokerStars top ten this week is a few new players attempting to make a steal for May’s 1st place prize.  The PokerStars MTT Leaderboard is proving to be a lot more sporadic than I had imagined.  Last week I commented on the amount of new players pushing the regulars to the wayside [...]

Well we’re inching closer to capping off yet another monthly leaderboard and May hasn’t been short of any notable action.  Many of the players mentioned in this article deserve a lot of respect for their persistent winning and respect is precisely what they’ll get.  Many of these names are beginning to become synonimous with the [...]

We’re now only three days away from the biggest event in the poker world. Yes, the World Series of Poker is primed to kick-off on Friday with Event #1 and many of the players have already arrived in Las Vegas.
