Hendon Mob Steals My Fire by Changing All-Time Money Lists
On Saturday, I wrote a blog on the five reasons that the
Poker All-Time Money List is
outdated[http://www. pokerjunkie. com/poker-blog/las-vegas/five-reasons-the-all-time-money-list-is-outdated]. I was going to follow-up with a blog that would spell out
some changes.

Greg Raymer Out as PokerStars Pro
It appears that the latest player to cut online poker
sponsorship ties is 2004 WSOP Main Event winner Greg
"Fossilman" Raymer. While an official announcement has not
been made as of yet, Raymer no longer appears on the site as
a sponsored pro. Rumor has it that PokerStars officials were playing hardball
at the recent PokerStars Caribbean Adventure and told
sponsored pros that they had to take a cut in pay or no
longer be sponsored. It appears that Raymer has taken the
later.

5 Reasons Poker's All-Time Money List is Outdated
Recently, Daniel Negreanu overtook Phil Ivey for the top
spot on the all-time money list for poker. Erik Seidel also
moved up to 3rd all-time off the strength of three
performances this month in high roller events. The most
recent being a $2. 5 million score from a Super High Roller's
Event at the PCA with a $250,000 buy-in.

Russ Hamilton Gets Pwned - Blows Gasket - Still an Asshole
There is currently an epic thread over at TwoPlusTwo forums
regarding a trip that users "Slifdog" and "billysharkey"
made to a Florida poker room. In the 5/10/20 NL game they
were playing in was none other than UltimateBet Cheating
mastermind Russ Hamilton. Below is an except from the post
"Billy proceeds to engage Russ in conversation. Russ is
clueless for the first few pleasantries, but then Billy
starts to get under Russ's skin with an array of subtle
verbal abuses that imply that Russ is karmic-ally screwed
unlovable rat with no chance of having real friends and that
Russ will have to always look over his shoulder and fear for
his safety.

Doyle Brunson Considering Leaving Las Vegas
Doyle Brunson revealed in his blog Tuesday that he is
considering leaving Las Vegas due to the lack of high limit
action. Â He stated that Vegas is not a very desirable
place for a poker pro anymore. Doyle's consideration of moving to California is a good one
in my opinion. Â Personally, if I were to move someone
just for the sake of playing poker, California would be one
of the first places that I would consider.

Televised Poker History Made with Live PCA Final Table
For the first time in the history of televised poker, ESPN2
on Saturday ran the final table of a major event live when
they ran the PCA Main Event complete with hole cards. This was a stark change from past attempts at running an
event live on the internet. ÃÂ There were no delays in
the broadcast and we actually got to see the entire match. Sadly, there weren't any big names at this final table to
draw in casual fans, but with that said, the broadcast was
still very memorable.

PokerStars Assimilates Another Main Event Champion
Jonathan Duhamel was announced on Tuesday as the latest
PokerStars pro. Â He becomes the latest in a long line of
WSOP Main Event winners to sign a deal with the online site. In fact, since 2003, PokerStars has signed every Main Event
winner except two - and one of those (Jamie Gold) couldn't
pay to get sponsored. PokerStars always seems to make the right choice in who to
patch.
Online Poker Regulation Passes - In New Jersey
The New Jersey State Legislature passed an online poker bill
