Full Tilt Poker Unleashes Major New Update and New Bonus Offer
Full Tilt Poker released another major software update early Thursday morning, just a few short weeks after a problem-plagued update that left many people unable to play on the site. We've gotten word this update contains a number of major changes that players have been requesting for some time now, and two new lobbies are also in the update. We play at Full Tilt because they offer a Macintosh client, and we really enjoy the free-foll tourneys.

The Final 9 Players for the World Series of Poker 2009

That's right - the final nie are in, and Phil Ivey is one of them. I love watching Ivey play, but hope he doesn't become over confident too fast.
After a crazy and fast Day 8 of the Main Event of 2009’s World Series of Poker, we’re down to the final nine players. Phil Ivey made it, to the cheers of a packed rail at the Rio. Seriously — they were going mental for this guy.
After 27 started the day, poker fans were treated to some insane action. Billy Kopp pissed away a commanding chip lead on a 5-high flush. Kopp finished in 12th place after many were speculating that he would play tightly and coast into the final table with a strong lead.

There's gold in those poker hills, and Businessweek has a great article on why poker and business go hand in hand.
Deepak Thadani learned how to play poker during a trip to Atlantic City in 2004, a few years after he launched a high-end network security company in Woodside, N.Y. He soon discovered that many of his clients--CEOs and CFOs of large New York companies--were also aspiring card sharps. So he organized a monthly game. "Poker's like the new golf," says Thadani. "People get together at the poker table, they play, and they build relationships."
