excited to see something geared to showing off the Canadian poker talent.

of events each week where prize pools are expected to exceed over $2000. Each

Tony G Is Happy Again!

Well that did not take long to resolve CardPlayers.com has agreed to stop all copying from PokerNews.com website in regards to live coverage and chip counts. This is a statement Tony made on his blog today and hopefully this will be the last bit of drama and we can all focus on the games

CardPlayer has contacted PokerNews and agreed to follow the guidelines of the WSOP and Harrahs in media reporting of tournament events and not use any of PokerNews’ live blogging reports. CardPlayer has also agreed to meet with me when I come to Vegas - that will be within about two weeks.
Thank you CardPlayer for respecting the rights of PokerNews and for putting a smile back on my face. Now let’s all play poker!

CardPlayer Caught Red Handed In WSOP

Tony G has posted a very interesting article on his blog pointing fingers at Cardplayer for stealing live coverage right from the PokerNews website. PokerNews has obtained exclusive coverage of this year's WSOP and as such are the only media that is permitted to be reporting "live coverage" Here is what the man himself wrote today and I am sure there will be more of this to come. If you would like you can digg this article here

Now why would CardPlayer go and waste all that money sending their "reporters" to the WSOP for "reporting" when all they have done is plagiarism. Come on now, if they wanted people to copy others especially for the WSOP, I am sure they could have found some kid out of high school willing to do it for nothing but the cost of the trip and board.

Cardplayer family stealing from me.
I have never tried to hide who I am. I am from the street. I have made many mistakes in my life, but I have always felt that I treated all people fairly and with respect. You may see me on TV giving someone the business, and feel it’s unfair, but to me it’s all part of the game. I think if you ask people if they think I am a fair person in businss and in life most would say yes.Away from poker, I have a successful business. I own a majority of the shares in PokerNews Limited.

This company owns many websites, the biggest of which is PokerNews.com. We are having our best year ever and right now we should be enjoying the finest moment of our life as a company. We are at the WSOP and are supposed to be the exclusive provider of updates and chip counts. But unfortunately over the last few days, we have been pirated and simply stolen from by many of our competitors - including Cardplayer. Cardplayer is hiding behind a legal fence that they were standing on top of just this time last year– kicking anyone who dared try to climb it in the teeth.
We put the chip counts up on PokerNews, and one minute later they are up on Cardplayer.com.

Cardplayer has no one counting chips at the WSOP, and they know that counting chips is against the rules for them since we beat them to the rights for coverage this year. But they have the counts up on their site, stolen straight from the counts we are doing live in the room at the Rio. We have paid a lot of money for these rights and a lot of money to the 40 people we have hired to cover the series.
I am from the street and when you steal from me, you are playing with fire. This is no different than taking money out of my pocket when it was all I had, which wasn’t that long ago. I’ll bet the Shulmans never thought they would be stealing from me two years ago when they were on top and PokerNews had three employees and was just getting by. I urge the Shulmans to think about what they are doing to me now. They should think about how people feel when they are robbed.

I urge the Shulmans & all of the CardPlayer family to stop this unethical activity, right now, and all will be forgiven. I’m sure they feel bad about how things have gone for them over the past year, but that doesn’t make this ok. They have fallen from their high horse, and there must be a lot of anger for them to do something like this. They must know others will not respect them and they must just not care.
This probably will have to go to lawyers for the final outcome. No one is talking about this now, but I tell the world the truth on this blog.

I haven’t been this mad about anything in years. These are my opinions, and I stand by them.

US Customers Recieving Seized Funds From Neteller

Neteller customers residing in the US have been awaiting for this day and it has finally come. Recent release from Neteller cliams that US customers will see their money. Here is a copy of a release from the company.

NETeller agrees to distribution plan for U.S. customer money

June 04, 2007
by Ryan McLane


NETeller has agreed to a distribution plan for returning seized monies to U.S. customers and hopes to implement the plan no later than mid-July, according to a press release issued today.

U.S. authorities seized up to $55 million from U.S. NETeller accounts earlier this spring.

Since than time, NETeller has been working with the Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney's office and financial consulting firm Navigant to develop a distribution plan and hand over financial information pertinent to the investigation.

NETeller says it will return the money as soon as U.S. authorities conclude their investigation and allow access to the seized money.

"The agreement on the distribution plan represents a milestone in our cooperation with the U.S. authorities," said NETeller President and CEO Ron Martin. "While we are disappointed not to have been able to return funds to our US customers at this point, we believe that the steps we have made in our discussions are significant and we hope to be able to announce further progress with the USAO by July 13, 2007."

The U.S. Attorney's office offered no comment.

U.S. customers will have a limited window to withdraw funds once the seized money is freed. American customers can request their money through electronic transfer or paper check.

Customers with bank accounts already linked to NETeller will need to confirm that the account is still active in order to receive payment.

Requests must be made in full. NETeller will not allow partial payment requests, nor will they allow U.S. customers to transfer money to any other destinations. No interest will be paid on account balances.
