May 28, 2009 | Comments Off
Lock Poker.com, an online poker site on the Cake Poker network claimed this week that is the first on the network to offer players new Mac poker software.
The Mac-based poker client offers the same features and gameplay as the PC version with Play and Real money games, including ring games, Satellites, MTT’s and Sit ‘n Go’s. Players can also enjoy player-to-player chat, table resizing, and multi-table play.
“One of our mandates as a company is to provide a superior online poker experience. It only makes sense that we would extend our product to the Mac platform — as Apple is a leader in innovation and customer experience.” says Jennifer Larson, CEO of Lock Poker.
Lock Poker allows poker players to experience the innovative download software without a third-party application for a more stable and smoothly running game.
Mike Sexton Belongs in Poker Hall of Fame – PartyPoker.com
May 28, 2009 | Comments Off
PartyPoker has begun lobbying for Mike Sexton, an ambassador for PartyPoker as well as the host of the World Poker Tour. PartyPoker would like to see Sexton added to the list of those to be considered for induction to the Poker Hall of Fame.
Sexton has a good chance of being placed on the list as he meets the requirements needed to be added to the induction list. He recently finished hosting the seventh season of the World Poker Tour which he has been with since the very first season. He also has a WSOP bracelet and is in the top ten players who have earned the most cashes during the World Series of Poker.
PartyPoker recently re-signed Sexton to their site and he is now the ambassador for the online poker room. The fourth largest online poker room would love to see their ambassador added to the list of poker pros that have been added to the Hall of Fame.
A spokesman for PartyPoker reiterated that they would like to see the poker community vote for Sexton. The spokesman stated: “We encourage the poker community to vote online for Mike Sexton’s induction into poker’s hall of fame. Mike famously said that poker takes five minutes to learn and a lifetime to master- it takes five minutes to vote and mark the lifetime achievement of the master! Mike meets all the criteria and deserves to be top of the list when the process gets to the Hall of Fame committee.”

The next shot for players to win a seat at the World Series Main Event is this Sunday, May 31, at 4:35pm EST, where, regardless of how many players enter, four players are guaranteed to walk away with a $12,000 Main Event prize package. Then on Sunday, June 7, at 4:35pm EST, four more guaranteed prize packages are up for grabs.

Ultimate Bet Will Award a WSOP Academy Prize Package
May 1, 2009 | Comments Off
Leading online poker site UltimateBet today announced another series of password protected online poker tournaments, reserved exclusively for UltimateBet players who listen to Rounders Radio. The online poker site is giving away two Las Vegas prize packages that include a seat in June 29th’s World Series of Poker Academy and $1,000 for travel and accommodations. Players can access the $5 buy-in tournaments using a code that’s announced each week on the Ultimate Poker Show.
“We’re thrilled to be doing another WSOP Academy promotion just for Rounders Radio listeners,” stated Annie Duke, UltimateBet’s Cardroom Consultant. “The Ultimate Poker Show attracts poker players who really want to take their game to the next level so a promotion that offers seats in the WSOP Academy couldn’t be more fitting.”
The WSOP Academy Main Event Primer, set to get underway on June 29th at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, is designed to prepare poker players for the world’s most prestigious poker tournament. The 3-day program is built to help poker fans advance through the enormous field of players all the way to final table.
Texas Hold’em players can win their way to Las Vegas for June 29th’s WSOP Academy through a locked $5 buy-in tournament each Sunday. The password for the private tournament is announced every Sunday on Rounders Radio’s Ultimate Poker Show, a live online show hosted by UltimateBet’s own Mark “P0ker H0″ Kroon.
The top nine players of each password protected Sunday tournament will win a spot in June 22nd’s Main Event. The Main Event pays out two seats to the WSOP Academy plus $1,000 for travel, accommodations and expenses.
Online poker players who don’t win a spot in the Main Event through the locked Texas Hold’em tournament can still secure a seat for 5,000 UltimatePoints. Additionally, players may register for satellites from as little as 500 UltimatePoints to make their way to the Main Event.
