Dublin has been chosen as Poker Capital of Europe 2008 by the magazine Bluff Europe. The Irish capital had a little range on London that finished at a good second place.

The top 5 of the list was:

1. Dublin
2. London
3. Vienna
4. Amsterdam
5. Barcelona

The jury was impressed about the pokerscene in Dulbin. There are many pokerrooms, clubs and tournaments available all over the town. And every year new poker tournaments seem to be started. And not only for the high stakes!

The most well known tournament is ofcourse the Irish Open, which attracks many proffesional players to Dublin. Also the first event of the WSOP Europe will be played in Dublin. There seemed to be no other city that deserved this price this year!

Neil Channing wins the Irish Poker Open of 2008. 667 players joined in this €4500 buy-in tournament. This ment 72 players ended up in the money.

Channing was able to beat well known professionals like Doyle Brunson, Andy Black and Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliott in this 3 million guaranteed tournament.

By winning this tournament Channing earned €801.400!

Full Tilt noticed that Mr. Little was online almost 24/7 the last few months, and decided to take a further look into this case. They found out the account was used from multiple IP addresses. Jonathan Little was fired by Full Tilt Poker.

Since the pros playing at Full Tilt get paid per hour, it is very profitable to be online as much as possible. But also the pros need to read and follow the Terms and Conditions! Account sharing is just not allowed! Due to this violation by Jonathan Little Full Tilt Poker saw no other options then disabling Jonathan’s account and ‘fire’ him.

I think this is really well done by Full Tilt, showing no regret, neither to their own affiliated professionals. What do you think?

Between an impressing field of contesters of the best poker professionals of the world, Chris Ferguson managed to win the NBC Nationals Heads-Up Championship of 2008!

In the best of three final Chris Ferguson was able to defeat Andy Bloch. After Andy winning the first match, Chris was able to win the second and third match with showing the best of his HU game. The second match won by Chris by calling going all-in with QcQd against a short Andy Bloch showing Kc3d.

Eventually the third match was not as exiting as the first two, finally finished by a coinflip (yes a real coinflip) made by Andy. Calling with a pair of Tens, with Ferguson showing JJ. With no help on the turn and river, it was Chris Ferguson winning the NBC National Heads-Up Championship of 2008.
