Gibraltar – 29^th June 2010 – http://www.partypoker.com/ has introduced online qualifiers for the prestigious televised WPT Legends of Poker event at the Bicycle Casino in LA, which runs from the 18^th – 24^th August.

PartyPoker.com ambassador Mike Sexton said: “The Legends of Poker at the Bike is one of the oldest and most famous stops on the World Poker Tour with a proud history of big name winners. Imagine freerolling your way to such a historic title in front of the tv cameras – that would really be quite something!”

There are a mix of daily freerolls, qualifiers and weekly satellites that run until the 1st August. In addition, there are turbo options to help players secure their place in the main weekly $400 +$30 online satellite that takes place every Sunday at 15.20ET.

Last year, Prahlad Friedman took down the Main Event title, taking home over $1,000,000 in the process and, of course, a $25,000 seat into the prestigious WPT World Championship.

One person spiritually connected to ‘The Bike’ is Team PartyPoker.com’s Tony G. ‘The Mouth From Down Under’ writes about his attachment to the casino named after his favourite mode of transport – looks ahead to The Poker Show with Jesse May and addresses talk that he is quitting poker at: http://www.partypoker.com/blog/tony-g/tony-g-to-snub-the-wsop-and-live-circuits-completely.html

The key words are big names and fast paced – the strength of the show has always been all the great contacts we have in the poker world but now we think we are coming to something that the listeners will love hearing rather than just the people we interview.”

MAGIC MAY WAS RECORD JACKPOT MONTH ON PARTYCASINO.COM BIGGEST PAYOUT MONTH IN HISTORY OF WORLD’S LARGEST ONLINE CASINO!

Gibraltar – 9^th June 2010 — http://www.partycasino.com/ the world’s largest online casino, can confirm that May was a record jackpot month. During May, PartyCasino.com has paid out more money in jackpots than any other month in its history! The payout bonanza for May up until the end of the 1^st June saw a total of $6,429,000 in jackpots over $10k paid out! Not included in these jackpot figures was the fact that the player at the top of the Grand Win Auto leaderboard became entitled to pick up a brand new Maserati Grand Turismo when ‘Arkry222’ scooped the $1.88 million Gold Mega Jackpot on the 7^th May – making it an even bigger month for monster payouts!

A PartyCasino.com spokesman said: “We have never seen a month like it! May was the biggest jackpot winning month in our history – highlights include two massive wins in 24 hours for two players from Belgium. The fateful day was Saturday 29^th May when a Palladium Lounge VIP took down The Big One for US$3,057,043, while his fellow countryman ‘Silverdxp’ took out over $123,000 in jackpots. To add to this, ‘Arkry222’ scooped US$1.88million jackpot on the Gold Mega Jackpot on the 7^th May, sparking the Maserati Gran Turismo payout. If that wasn’t enough, another casino player weighed in and won over $685,000 on June 1^st!”

“The amount paid out in jackpots in May smashed the previous record set in December 2009. There’s a lot more to come though as already the total jackpot amount on the site exceeds $2,300,000, including ‘The Big One,’ the largest progressive seeded jackpot in the online gaming industry.”

One player who was super happy with taking a piece of this record month of jackpots was ‘Silverdxp’ who took out over $123,000 in jackpots on the same day his fellow Belgian won over $3,000,000. “The win is a life changer for me, I am very much an occasional player,” he said. “The world economic crisis has hit my own business hard and this money is going to be vital in helping it continue to operate. It is hard to believe that on the same day a fellow Belgian won over $3,000,000 as well. I suppose I should have played much more that day and that huge jackpot would have been mine!”

VEGAS UPDATES: CHEZ ANTONIUS BECOMES CHEZ TONY G KARA SCOTT RUNS INTO A CHAINSAW?

Gibraltar – 4^th June 2010 – How is it going in Vegas for members of Team PartyPoker.com?

Tony G: The big news is that I have bought a house in Vegas from Patrik Antonius – apparently he has upgraded to bigger things! Why do the Miss USA beauty queens keep poking me on facebook? Could it be pension time for Hellmuth?

http://www.partypoker.com/blog/tony-g/a-big-hello-from-the-new-tony-g-residence-in-vegas.html

Kara Scott: I was at a table with fellow Canadian Gavin Smith, Alan Kessler and even Eli Elezra’s brother took a seat with us for a while. The folks at 2+2 NVG have put their photoshopping skills to work and made some pretty funny pieces from it. A photoshop thread on 2+2… how funny is that?

http://www.partypoker.com/blog/kara-scott/a-tale-of-two-tournaments.html

Tyron Krost: Without a doubt Vegas is the most exhilarating place to play poker, especially for the main event.  Every serious poker player needs to make sure that they play the main event at least once.
