FOREST FIRES ARE NOT ALL THAT ARE RAGING

As the massive forest fires continue to decimate parts of La Palma in the Spanish Canaries, some 600 firefighters are trying their hardest to douse the raring flames to no avail. Several thousand people have already evacuated.

Just a few thousand miles away however, another fire rages. Deep in the hearts of many committed poker players, the WSOP 2009 is celebrating its 40th anniversary and as we saw at the end of Day 8, it is only a matter of time before we reach the end of this world famous competition.

Day 8 saw a number of people get incinerated, and with only 9 players surviving, the final table has been made as these guys wait patiently for the last game to be held November 7 – 10.

But just what has happened in the past forty years that made the WSOP the defining competition in the global poker tournament calendar? Unlike bush fires, the biggest thing to redefine the poker game experience was not firemen, but the age of the online poker room and the rise of unknown players into the realms of casino stardom.

Back in 2003, it all started when a relatively unknown poker player won his bracelet, and he not only made himself famous, but he proved on behalf of the world, that anyone can win the WSOP. But, just who was this guy? – Chris MoneyMaker, the small time accountant turned Pokerstars tournament player, who managed to turn a $39 sit-in to a $10,000 seat at the WSOP and then? He won. And in case you are wondering, that really IS his surname.

Nowadays there are countless players from the online community, who have turned their lives around by simply discovering the challenge of mastering online poker games. Many have said that they simply couldn’t have reached where they are today were it not for the likes of poker bonuses and rakeback.

Why not follow in Chris’s footsteps? Take advantage of rakeback so you too can learn how to master the millionaire game of Texas Hold’em. Who knows, you may be the next one to hit the WSOP!

ARE YOU READY FOR THE FTOPS?

Full Tilt poker players are being given another chance to experience the ever popular Full Tilt Online Poker Series(FTOPS), which started last Wednesday and is set to offer over $19 million dollars of prizes to the lucky winners.

With 11 days of fierce competition, the tournament is the thirteenth FTOPS held by the highly popular online poker room. Thirteen is unlucky for some perhaps, but one thing for certain is that someone will win a major share of the $19,000,000 jackpot.

With a variety of poker games being held during the 11 day event, Full Tilt Poker is also hosting a charity game in aid of the crisis in Darfur. This charity event will take place on August the 15th and has been aptly named “Ante Up for Africa.”

With buy-ins for the weekend’s charity event set at $120, this is the perfect chance not only to win a $100,000 jackpot, but also to do something good for the situation in Darfur.

Over the years, the FTOPS has given Full Tilt poker a reputation as one of the best online poker rooms available. Whilst not as popular as many other internet poker sites, the team at Full Tilt have done their best to ensure they offer some of the best holdem poker available with a range of bonuses and highly competitive rakeback deals which anyone can take advantage of.

At the same time Poker fan, Bill Clinton is doing his bit for others. He will be busy playing his own version of poker with the North Korean government amidst secret negotiations and the attempt to gain the release of the two journalists who have been imprisoned by the country.

Let’s hope he is not playing Russian roulette. After all North Korea are not known for their diplomatic hospitality.
