888 gives the market shares
Who thought that there is only room on the poker market for PokerStars and Full Tilt is currently wrong. 888.com published this week in its final report for the 4th Quarter of 2010. Revenues increased 18% to $ 71 million for the year 2010, an increase, up 6% from $ 247 million to $ 262 million to book.
This compares to an increase of registered by an impressive 23%. This now represents an 8.7 million people in the casinos, poker rooms and sports bets from 888.com active.
Especially great was the number of new registrations in the poker room by 888.com. The number of players increased by 78% in 2010 (!) On 201 000. Marketing campaigns such as the recent qualification for the Austrian Spring Challenge with extremely low buy-ins are obviously excited just at the low scooters attention.
Eugene vs Katchalov. Victor Blom
The next opponent for the Super Star Showdown on PokerStars is Eugene Katchalov. The Ukraine-born and raised in Brooklyn won a poker pro and WPT title holder in January, the $ 100,000 Super High Roller Event EPT PCA and was second in the subsequent $ 10,000 High Roller Event.
Katchalov is one of the most successful tournament players of recent years. The duel is scheduled for the coming Sunday evening. The game is played only Texas Hold’em. The rule that a mix of NLHE and PLO is played, is set for the duel expire.

WSOPE moves to France
Bang for Poker in England! The World Series of Poker Europe will not return to venerable London. The WSOPE, French Cesars Games and Interactive Entertainment signed a new contract that allows the European edition of the World Series moving to the Mediterranean coast.
Instead of “Welcome to the Casino at the Empire” is hot this fall that is “Bienvenue au Casino Barrière de Cannes Croisette. The contract has an initial term of three years. First, the legal regulation of online poker in France, then the WPT Paris and now grabs the Grande Nation, the WSOP? France fights for its place on the poker map back. When arch-enemy England is “not amused”.
Seven events are scheduled, including not only the £ 10,000 Main Event NLHE and PLO event also split a £ 10,000 High Roller Event, the first full ring, which is played short-handed and heads-up, finally.
The decision sparked mixed reactions. Finally, the poker fall in London with international events like EPT, WPT, WPO and PartyPoker World Open. The players were forced, in a short time between London and Cannes and back herzureisen. This should not come at all on the consent and could be to the detriment of the WSOPE.
EPT without robbery
The EPT is (unfortunately) largely due to the attack on the poker fund in memory. It was also the first EPT event, where the winner received one million euros.
