Play Texas Hold’em with Live Dealers at DublinBet

Tired of the same old style of online poker that you find everywhere nowadays? Then you should definately try out to play the live dealer Texas Hold’em at Dublinbet.com. This type of online poker does not work like the ones you have gotten used to at poker rooms like PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker. Instead of playing against other players from all over the world you will be playing against a live dealer as this is the casino game version of Texas Hold’em Poker. Even though this game require a lot less skill than the regular Texas Hold’em games you will still have a good edge if you know the good starting hands.

Unfortunately US players are not allowed to join the DublinBet Casino and try out this live dealer casino game but for those of you who live in other countries there is a 100 Euro new player bonus available when joining this casino that will be instantly added to your account balance upon your first deposit.

At DublinBet they are also offering other casino games with live dealers, so if you enjoy playing Blackjack, Baccarat or Roulette then we can really recommend trying out DublinBet as you know they games are not rigged there.

Full Tilt Poker Closing in on PokerStars

PokerStars are promoting themselves as the biggest poker site in the world and there is no doubt they are the biggest. The second largest online poker site is Full Tilt Poker, the gap between these two sites is pretty big at the moment but lately Full Tilt have started to get closer in terms of traffic on their site.

According to the poker traffic site PokerScout.com PokerStars currently have 27.600 cash game players online on average while Full Tilt Poker has 16.400.But on Monday this week the numbers for PokerStars were 26.695 while Full Tilt had 21.180 cash game players online. That’s a difference of about 5.000 players.

Even though 5.000 players are a lot this still shows that FullTilt Poker are closing in on the giant PokerStars.com. If these numbers keep up Full Tilt might be able to become the largest poker site one of these days. If poker becomes regulated and legalized in the US a lot of things can change over night just like we saw when the UIGEA was introduced back in 2006. Before the UIGEA was introduced PartyPoker had a 50% market share in USA. And once poker becomes legal in the States again they will surely want to start competing with PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker again.

UltimateBet becomes UB.com

For as long as UltimateBet has been in business they have always been referred to as UB. This is why UltimateBet.com is now being re-branded to UB.com with a completely new logo. The people at UltimateBet have also taken the opportunity to pimp up their poker software a bit for this re-launch of their brand.

“The launch of UB.com represent a turning point for our company. We have collected a big group of professionals that are passionate about poker to build or new UB brand. Our goal is to create products and services that poker players really want, said Paul Leggert.

” I have been involved with UltimateBet for 10 years now and I have never been more proud to represent the company. I look forward to the day when we are the biggest poker site on this planet, said Phil Hellmuth.

Here at Online Poker News we have our doubts that UB.com will ever become the biggest poker sites on this planet. Even though they are changing their name people will never forget about the superuser scandal that took place there and at Absolute Poker.

When trying to visit the new UB.com website we are currently being redirected to the old address at UltimateBet.com but they are probably going to start using the UB.com address in the coming weeks.

Isildur1 Back on a Winning Streak

The story about Isildur1 continues. After a couple of huge wins at the high stakes tables at Full Tilt Poker Isildur1 hit a cold streak and lost $3.3 million within a 24 hour period. At his peak Isildur1 had made a $5.46 million profit at FulltTilt but after being crushed by players like Patrik Antonius he was now “only” $2.2 Million in the green.

But almost as quickly as the money was lost they started coming back to him again in the latest sessions. The day after the $3.3 million losing session he was back at FullTilt playing against Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies from which he won around $1 million and ended the day with a $1.3 million profit.

After dropping a couple of hundred grand Isuldur1 have now made a profit of $3.3 million at FullTilt this year. Patrik Antonius is the biggest winner of the year with a $5 million profit and Ziigmund is $3 million in the green even though he dropped a million against Isildur1.

Antonius Takes the Biggest Online Pot Ever from Full Tilt High-Stakes Mystery Player

Last week the online poker community perked up when a new name was introduced in the otherwise elite and tight-knit online high-stakes poker “club” at Full Tilt Poker. Sweden’s “Isildur1” is otherwise an unknown newcomer to hit the high-stakes tables at Full Tilt, taking more than $3 million from Tom “durrrr” Dwan in one week. Dwan, who is the newest Full Tilt Poker Pro, has taken heed and invited “Isildur1” to join him at a high-stakes poker match in Mayfair, London at the Les Ambassadeurs Club for next week’s Million Dollar Challenge.

Dwan says of the mystery player, “We have had some tough games over the last few days and the action just keeps on coming. I hope he can make it to London for the challenge so we can play some high stakes live games as well.”

Fast forward one week later and “Isildur1” appears again at Full Tilt’s $500/$1000 heads-up deep PL Omaha tables; this time the mystery player is up against Patrik Antonius, another powerful player of high-stakes online poker. But “Isildur1” was no match for Antonius, as in the wee hours of the morning the biggest pot to ever go down in the history of online poker was taken by Antonius. A massive $878,958.50 pot was scooped out from under “Isildur1,” which could technically be considered part of the money he took from Dwan over the past week.

So the saga continues, as the big shots of online poker swap millions of dollars back and forth day in and day out. It’s usually Antonius, Dwan, Phil Ivey, and a handful of others, but now there’s a new player in the ring, and he (or she) is sparking the attention of the online poker community.

Until early Tuesday morning, the largest online poker pot was from a hand involving Dwan and Di “Urindanger” Dang back in October of last year. The record stood for a little more than a year, but knowing Dwan, he will likely want to take that title back, as at times these guys seem to just be in it to outdo each other. For them, it’s about more than the money.

It will be interesting to hear about the live matchup between Dwan and “Isildur1,” as the mystery unfolds and more is learned about this stranger among us.

Good Weekend for Isildur1: $1.8 Million Profit

Last weekend was a pretty decent one for Swedish online poker player Isildur1. After completing sessions against players like Patrik Antonius, Phil Ivey, Phil “OMGClayAiken” Galfond, Brian Townsend and Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies he ended up making a $1.8 million profit over the weekend.

The player who took the biggest hit at the high stakes tables at Full Tilt Poker was Patrik Antonius who saw his bankroll decrease by $1.560.209. Tom “Durrrr” Dwan is having a huge downswing lately and he is still running bad against Isildur1 and recorded a loss of $800.000 last weekend.

In total during the last week Isildur1 logged a healthy profit of $5.723.944 after having played a total of 218 sessions. Since he started playing at Full Tilt Poker his total profit is now $5.04 million which makes him the second biggest winner at FullTilt over the whole year.

Tom “durrrr” Dwan joins Team FullTilt

Poker star, Tom Dwan is the latest addition to the Full Tilt Team according to the latter’s announcement this week. Team Full Tilt is very happy and proud of having Dwan onboard.

So many successful poker professionals have joined this network such as Phil Ivey, Jennifer Harman, Erik Seidel, Andy Bloch, Mike Matusow, Gus Hansen, Chris Ferguson, Howard Lederer, Allen Cunningham, Phil Gordon, Erick Lindgren and Patrik Antonius; adding up to an overwhelming 37 World Series of Poker bracelets through this group.

Poker star and Full Tilt team member Howard Lederer commented; “Team Full Tilt doesn’t take adding a team member lightly. But, Tom Dwan has proven, through skill and dynamic play that he will be a force to be reckoned with for many years to come. We are proud to count Tom as one of our own.”

Dwan will be playing the Full Tilt Poker virtual tables, blogging about his experience as a member of Team Full Tilt and passing on his poker knowledge to the Full Tilt Poker Academy. This is a way for the Full Tilt casual players to learn from the world’s best pros for free. At just 23 years old, Dwan is set to be the Team Full Tilt’s youngest member.

He appears online with the online nickname “durrrr” and is one of the best out there, having proven his skills time and time again. Many successful wins, live poker tournaments and events have helped him carve his name in poker history.

In fact, Dwan has won three World Series of Poker cashes and one World Poker Tour final table and made over $1.1 million when playing live tournaments. He has appeared on many poker related TV shows such as Poker After Dark, High Stakes Poker and Full Tilt Poker’s Million Dollar Cash Game. Just to name a few of his wins, he won more than $1.1 million at the Full Tilt Poker’s Million Dollar Cash Game.

For the online poker site Everest Poker it was an even greater success as Saout qualified via their satellites and was wearing their clothing at the final table which is the best kind of advertising you can get in the poker world.

At the final table Saout knocked out Jeff Schulman and manged to finish better than the poker star Phil Ivey.

At Everest Poker they are starting to celebrate this as from today with a series of freerolls in the honor of Antoine Saout.
