On the last hand, Sirous moved all his chips to the center with Q 2 and Madsen quickly saw the bet with K 10 . The board gave no surprise and a K the turn sealed the victory for Full Tilt Poker.

Phil Ivey losing $ 2 million in the Super Bowl

The Super Bowl is one of the biggest sporting events in the world and perhaps that attracts more viewers in the U.S.. Last night they played this game with the upset win of the New Orleans Saints against the Indianapolis Colts. What has this to do with poker? The rumors suggest that Phil Ivey would have lost a lot as it had in the betting line as many as two million dollars for the victory of Indianapolis .

Poker players betting large sums on sporting events is nothing new: Gus Hansen lost 1.4 million euros last year’s defeat by Rafael Nadal at the French Open tennis. However, Ivey has no fear to increase their bets growing (last year played only a million in the Super Bowl).

The head of the Mirage casino sports betting Jay Rood , would not go into specifics when questioned about the alleged bet Ivey: “I can only say that we took a bet of seven digits for the Colts” .

Much will have to play good this year Ivey highest levels of the Internet to recover from this broken .

The Quebec government will open its own online poker room

The Canadian province of Quebec has taken a big step and announced that Loto-Quebec, the institution which holds a monopoly on gambling in the province, received the government approval to begin operating a gaming portal and online poker for its citizens . The site, which will be operated by Loto-Quebec, British Columbia and Atlantic Lottery Corporations, will open in the second half of this year.

Although online gambling is legal in Canada, there are still many that are conducted on the black market. Finish, or at least try to reduce these transactions, appears to be one of the reasons why the provincial government has decided to jump on the bandwagon of online gambling.

A beautiful landscape of Quebec.

Loto-Quebec said that besides the economic benefits of the portal will open, the company and the government sought to extend protection to consumers , so that the site will have several features that will maintain a more strict control, for example, age verification, deposits and limit gambling problems.

Finally, a representative of Loto-Quebec said that the model being followed is that of Sweden , whose site Svenska Spel , which began operations on the Internet in 2006, is the only place Swedish citizens can gamble and play poker legally.

The government’s decision is a move quebecuá interesting and can serve as example for legalizacón the game to other countries .

Poker Tracker is now compatible with Poker Rush

It only took two weeks for the boys of Poker Tracker release an update that enables Tracker hands played in Rush Poker tables and show real time statistics of all our opponents. Although updated its Holdem Manager Software Just a few days after Full Tilt announced the new format, the guys from Poker Tracker does not regret the delay and are satisfied with the new feature of the program.

We were not satisfied with them only statistics in notes or making you manually categorize players. We wanted the best, we wanted to have the exact same thing they have in any other poker table .

So, Poker Tracker has designed a HUD that remains almost the same options as the HUD original and updated every minute while we are changing tables. The most important differences with respect to HUD original are:

• No personal or shows statistics of the session, only focuses on the opponents.
• You can not dial hands for review in the future
• To write notes about a player, you must do before changing the table (ie, before pressing the button Fold).
• The mucked hands not appear in the Hand History Poker Tracker

Finally, there are two important changes in this update that, although unrelated to the Rush Poker, worth consideration.

• All rooms, except for Bodog, have support for Omaha
• The Auto-import and HUD are now fully available online cereus ( UB and Absolute Poker)

An error in the Cake Poker software delivers the pot to the losing hand

As with UltimateBet spend just over a year when Phil Hellmuth won a boat despite having the worst hand, on Wednesday the incident was repeated but this time at the tables Cake Poker . Of course, a user of the forums 2 2 was responsible for spreading the word along with a screenshot.

The hand that takes the smaller of the two color.

As you can see in the image, the player in seat six ‘Dimondidenko’ total pot won the hand with color and K in hand even though his rival ‘ d0nkeyk0ng9 ‘, was the color-enhanced with the A . Though initially most people were skeptical, the same Lee Jones, manager of Cake Poker, wrote a post on the forums saying that, indeed, the error had actually occurred.

Unfortunately this seems to be real. What is strange is that the millions of hands that have divided, has occurred precisely in this. It goes without saying that our engineers Software have left everything to trace the origin of this problem.

A few hours later, Jones returned to make an appearance to report that restarted the servers for a short period of time to continue looking for the problem. Finally, a few hours later, was able to report that they had finally found the source of the fault .

During the hand in question was a player who had spent the blinds and was asked to place a blind dead at the cutoff. He did but somehow there was a perfect time delay between the client and server that caused me to have the option of the button “Fold” (which may or may not have seen). Probably unwittingly pushed the nonexistent button Fold and the order came to the server.

Although the server has a security system to deal with such problems, it appeared that he had no protection for an order, first, I had to come ( “Fold” from someone who could not fold, for example). The upshot is that the system thought that there was a boat missing alternate between the player and the small blind (The player with K K )

. Evaluated the boat, handed out to the small blind and, since most boats to deliver, hand finished .

It may seem somewhat far-fetched explanation, but certainly Cake Poker has handled the issue far better than UltimateBet made in due course. Inclusive,

the players involved will receive a reward: $ 500 dollars for the player who should have won the hand and $ 250 for all involved in the hand , which is not bad taking into account the limits of the table . Good work by Cake Poker .
