For a long time there have been rumours about an episode on 60 Minutes about the cheating scandal at Absolute Poker and UltimateBet. This episode was first planned to be aired on the 26th of October but the news team at CBS decide to postpone it for a later date.

Now it has been decided that the episode will air on Sunday 30th of November 2008 and it will contain interviews with some really big names in the poker world like World Champion Greg Raymer and WPT legend and commentator Mike Sexton.

The episode will also show all the information available on about the cheating scandal that took place in 2008 at Absolute Poker and UltimateBet where people inside the company were using so called “superuser” accounts in order to see the other players hole cards and in this way take down some huge winnings.

This weekend the British Colombia Poker Championship was played in Canada. The winner of this tournament is the well known Team PokerStars member Daniel Negreanu who is probably feeling a bit extra excited about this win on his home turf. There were several other well known poker professionals playing in this tournament but in the end no one could stop The Poker Kid Negreanu that ended up winning the first prize of $371 910.

After this win Daniel Negreanu is now one of the most successful poker players of all time and he has won more than $11 Million in his carrier.

A couple of weeks ago David Benyamine reported that he would no longer be a “red pro” at FullTiltPoker.com. Since then there has been a lot of rumours about which poker room he would be playing for instead. It has been speculated that he might end up at PokerStars.com or at Betfair.com but in my opinion it is more likely that he is joining PokerStars out of these two options.

It seems however that he has not quit playing completely at Full Tilt Poker, a few days after David Benyamine disappeared from the tables at FullTilt a new player with the screen name “MR B2 U SON” appeared on the levels and games where you used to find Mr Benyamine and according to most people this is David Benyamine playing under a new alias.

The player “MR B2 U SON” has already been involved in some of the biggest pots of the month so it is probably not too unlikely that it is in fact David Benyamine hiding behind this alias at Full Tilt Poker.

FullTiltPoker.com is one of the biggest online poker rooms out there today. Only PokerStars and the iPoker network are able to compete with them when it comes to traffic on the site. Full Tilt Poker offers a great amount of action at both cash game and tournament tables but are mostly known for their huge cash game tables with blinds of up to $500/$1000 on the No Limit tables.

Full Tilt Poker Software

The poker software at FullTilt is one of the best ones that you can find. It has all of the functions that you could be looking for in an online poker room. You can change your avatar at the poker tables and you can choose which seat location you want at the tables to make it easier for you when playing more than one table at a time. Another thing that makes the Full Tilt software so great is that it is working for Mac users as well, so if you have a Mac you dont need to run a third party program in order to play poker at Full Tilt.

FullTiltPoker.com Deposit Bonus

FullTilt Poker was one of the first online poker rooms to offer a huge first deposit bonus to attract new players, an still today they have the exact same bonus in place as they had when they launched in the early 2000.

The bonus we are talking about is of course the famous 100% deposit bonus up to $600 that is instantly credited to your pending bonus account once you have made your first deposit. In order to make sure that you will get this bonus credited to your account you will need to enter the Full Tilt Poker referral bonus code TILTEDBONUS when you create your account. This bonus is held in your pending bonus account and will be released in increments of $20 for every 340 player points that you generate by playing for real money at Full Tilt.

Full Tilt Poker Shop

Every time you play for real money at FullTilt Poker you will be earning player points. These points can later be used in the Full Tilt Poker VIP Shop where you can buy a lot of different poker related items such as books and playing cards and so on. This is a great extra feature that is available at Full Tilt Poker to reward loyal players.

FullTiltPoker Support

If you should ever have any problems when playing at Full Tilt Poker it will feel good to know that you will always be able to reach their support team by email, no matter what day it is and no matter what time it is they will always be there for you.

Full Tilt Deposit Options

For Europeans looking to make a deposit at Full Tilt this is not a problem since they have all of the regular deposit options such as Credit Card, MoneyBookers and Neteller in place.

If you are from the US it is not always that easy to make a deposit however. But at Full Tilt Poker this should not be a problem as they have many different payment options in place to suit the needs of the US players. Should you have any problems making a deposit at FullTiltPoker.com we suggest that you contact their support and they will surely help you out.

Days like today just proves that it is always a good thing to hold on to the less valuable gold cards at Cake Poker as they will surely increase in value as time gos by.

Today you will be able to trade 9 relatively crappy Gold Cards for $600.

If you hold these cards i suggest you cash in today as these chances do not come by very often.

If you are looking for a livestream for the 2008 broadcast of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) I have just found out that you can follow all the action live at the BWin WSOP website.

Simply click this link and you will be taken to the site where you will be able to follow the 2008 WSOP in real time through this live stream.

On a side note we can tell you that both the players that are left in this tournament are sponsored by Team PokerStars. Actually the top 4 finishers were all a part of Team PokerStars.

I have not really had the time to update with the latest results in the Gold Card Lottery at Cake Poker lately but for the once that wants to keep track of all the Gold Cards i am making this post so that you can see what happened in the draws we did not report on.

Result 7th of November

Result 8th November

Result 9th November

Result 10th of November

Result 11th of November

As you can see you did not miss out on much if you were not playing poker this weekend as there were some pretty boring cards being drawn in the Cake Poker Lottery.

Today it is time to trade your Gold Cards at Cake Poker for cash again. This chance does not come by very often so if you want to get some extra cash now is the time to cash in.

The winning Gold Cards in todays draw are: 2 of Spades, 7 of Diamonds, 8 of Clubs, Jack of Hearts and Queen of Clubs all of these needs to be from Series 3. If you are holding all of these Gold Cards you will be able to trade them for $125 in cash.

Today all Cake Poker players who have the gold card 8 of Clubs of any Series will be able to play in a $4000 Turbo Tournament. This is not really the highest of price pools but there will probably not be a whole lot of players competing either.

I have this Gold Card in my account but i will not be participating in theis tournament as i feel there is no value sitting in a $4K tournament. But if a $1000 first prize is a lot of money for you and you enjoy playing in turbo Donkaments then i suggest you go ahead and register for this tournament if you have this Gold Card.
