On the Daily Deal, we will talk about a controversial story regarding a grand jury investigation of Full Tilt Poker, go over the latest High Stakes Poker episode, and find out who is chip leader at the World Poker Tour Championship.
Hello, I’m Sean Gibson and welcome to the Daily Deal by Poker News Daily, brought to you by PokerSource.com.
The Financial Times recently published an article outlining an alleged grand jury investigation of Full Tilt Poker. The investigation purportedly targets Full Tilt Poker’s Howard Lederer and Chris Ferguson. However, an attorney with an insider’s view of the relevant players questions whether the grand jury investigation is legit.
On Sunday night’s episode of the GSN cash game series “High Stakes Poker,” Phil Ivey was replaced at the table by Phil Galfond, and David Benyamine lost a massive hundred and fifty three thousand dollar pot to Elky. This prompted Gabe Kaplan to say, “I think in all of our seasons of ‘High Stakes Poker,’ that’s the first misstep David Benyamine has made.” New episodes of High Stakes Poker air on Sundays at eight o’clock PM Eastern Time on GSN.
When we return, who leads the WPT Championship field after Day 2?
Two days of play are in the books in the WPT Championship. Faraz Jaka and Shawn Buchanan own the lead over the 100 players who survived to see Day 3 on Wednesday. The tournament sported a cozy field of 195 players this year, nearly 150 fewer than last year. First place this year will earn $1.5 million.
