Einhorn, 42 years old, serves as one of the members of the boards of Hillel, The Michael J. Fox Foundation and the Robin Hood Foundation. And all of his $659,730 main event score went to the Fox foundation for Parkinson’s research, which is something that is really very commendable of him.

And despite pulling out of the US market, the site has been one of the biggest and best poker rooms in the world.

Poker is back to the ESPN family of networks, and this happened after the network removed all of the episodes of the show due to a number of advertising concerns as a result of the Black Friday indictments, and all of these were televised this week in the poker lineup featuring the return of World Series of Poker.

For a week and some days now the World Series of Poker Circuit has stayed in Pennsylvania at the Harrah’s Chester. This is where the very first Circuit stopped. Actually, Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives together with Delaware, which is a nearby state, permitted table games in their states, and this was just made possible and agreed upon last year, January. But ever since January 2010, poker has been so successful to the point that the WSOP-Circuit decided to stop at its Harrah’s property in Chester. This place is 23 miles away, southwest of Philadelphia.

For everybody’s information, each WSOP-Circuit stop hosts ten gold-ring events. And the players can also get some National Leaderboard points which will depend on their performance in all those events. Players would then be hoping that they gather substantial points to be able to qualify for the National Championship in May. Also, a player who would earn the most number of points every stop will immediately qualify for the said event.

Two weeks after Black Friday the online high stakes action showed a very strong progress, however for the past seven days now it seemed to have stopped from working and went dead.

Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies and Rui Cao, are two of the biggest winners ever, Sahamies winning more or less $200,000, most of the time it was against the likes of Ben “Sauce1234” Sulsky at $100-$200 pot-limit Omaha on Full Tilt Poker. Over at the middle stakes of $25-$50 pot-limit Omaha, Rui Cao has been taking over his challengers, winning approximately $200,000 over the course of 2,000 hands.

Over the past few months, Whil Cao has been a model of steadiness. On the other hand, Sahamies is trying to get back on track subsequent to numerous extended breaks from the nosebleed stakes. Just last week, Sahamies put in sessions of $300-$600 pot-limit Omaha against NoPasaran and Gus Hansen, and he ended up dropping about $250,000. At present, Hansen still leads the online world with more than $3 million in 2011 profits.

The Bellagio starts their Five Star World Poker Classic just Friday of last week, May 6. There will be a noon no-limit hold’em tournament, but those who consider themselves as recreational players and the pros alike are really keyed up for a $500+$40 event that will commence at 4:00 p.m.

The first appearance of Position Poker in Las Vegas is a new version of the no-limit hold’em, this event or tournament rewards the most aggressive play. Those who are not familiar with Position Poker then there are actually two buttons in play. The game is dealt and the original button rotates normally, however the next button is given to the winner of the previous hand. That certain player will have the complete position over the rest of the table and will be given the final choice during each of the betting rounds.

The organizers want the event to be a huge success that is why Position Poker has decided to add another $10,000 to the prize pool making the people more interested in the game.

Johnny Chan, the ten-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner is a very big supporter of this new game.
