This past Friday WSOP parent company (Harrah’s Interactive Entertainment) took a step in the direction of online gaming. They have partnered with 888, and their Dragonfish division will provide the software and develop the platform.

A few weeks ago news was breaking about Full Tilt Poker and Pokerstars checks bouncing, and echecks was down. A month or so before that, the American Department of Justice froze a ton of money from being returned to online poker players (and that is still not resolved as far as I know). While the [...]
Unless this show seriously turns around, or it looks like they’re actually going to make it to 1,000,000 in 2 months, i probably wont be watching this show again.
