I really enjoyed the Mayfair Club
episodes this week. I have read
quite a bit about the NY poker scene
back in the day from different books
and magazines. Cool to hear it from
the guys who actually lived it.
October 13-19 looks like another great week !

Duplicate Poker is toast
Duplicate Poker has shut down its
online operations, effective yesterday.
A message was sent to all Duplicate Poker
customers which cited the credit crunch
in the current global financial market
as the reason for the site's demise.
Duplicate Poker had recently entered a
second phase in its fundraising and
development efforts, as the site attempted
to cement its market presence.
The site was originally created as a
direct response to the October 2008
signing of the Unlawful Internet Gambling
Enforcement Act (UIGEA) law.
It offered US players a new, legal format
of poker specifically designed to remove
elements of chance, by have players at the
same seat at each table receive the same cards.

If you have money deposited on DP, visit
the homepage for instructions. It shouldnt
be too difficult to get a refund.

JUANDA Wins WSOP Europe
John Juanda beat out a field of 362 players
to become the 08 WSOP Europe Champion
in the £10,000 GBP Main Event. It was a tough
field consisting of many of the top names
from around the world. Total prize pool
was £3.62 million.
The nine player final table was a mix of
WSOP veterans and up and comers like
Daniel Negreanu, Scott Fischman and
John Juanda (with nine prior WSOP
bracelets combined), and newcomers
Chris Elliott, Toni Hiltunen and Stanislav
Alekhin making their first WSOP final tables.
The star-studded final table ground on for
an exhausting 22 hours and 484 hands.
The top eight finalists were rewarded with
a minimum of £100,000+ Pounds each.
Almost as big of a story as Juanda's long
overdue bracelet victory is Ivan Demidov.
The Russian finished third for a payday of
£334,850. Even more notably than
his finish here, Demidov is second in chips
among the 'November 9' WSOP finalists.
Final tabling at both WSOP main events
is a huge accomplishment.
