By Dan Cypra - July 15th

While the eyes of the entire poker world were fixed squarely on Las Vegas, online poker tournaments across the major sites continued as normal. The highlight of the week came on PokerStars, where every guarantee was doubled. Who needs the World Series of Poker when you have double guarantees on PokerStars?
