2011 June 28 Poker News, Events and Happenings
The Nightly Turbo is bringing you the day’s top poker news stories including a look at the latest online poker traffic report, who’s qualifying for an Epic Poker League card, and more.
We’re a month into the 2011 World Series of Poker, and it seems a fitting time to take a photographical look back on the first 40 events.
Day 28 is done. Ben Lamb won the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship and both Event #44 and 45 reached heads-up play. Antonio Esfandiari finished Day 2 in the $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em Event sixth in chips with just 21 players remaining.
Ben Lamb is known as one of the best Pot-Limit Omaha cash game players around. It might be about time to remove the “cash game” qualifier from that description. Coming off a runner-up finish in the $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event at the 2011 World Series of Poker (WSOP) just a week ago, Lamb did himself one better last night, taking down Event #42, the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship, banking $814,436 and his first ever WSOP gold bracelet.
Qualify for the Gibraltar Poker Masters, or a WSOP-E event, or both!
Its first event less than forty days away, Federated Sports and Gaming (FS&G) has finally come up with a name for its new professional poker league. After what must have been countless brainstorming sessions, “Epic Poker League” was selected as the name of choice.
