Whilst checking for updates to our
Titan Poker Review we noticed that the Mediterranean Poker Cruise Monte Carlo Tournament qualifiers were nowhere to be found. We stated in our review that there is a Monte Carlo Main Event Super satellite on the 6th January 2008 with direct buy in for $110 to win Poker Cruise packages to this event. We spoke to the people at Titan Poker and they told us:-
"this tournament series run by Titan Poker was cancelled by its organizer and has been removed from the software and the website. The three winners of the November 18 Super Satellite are being awarded cash prizes."
So, that’s a disappointment if you were looking forward to ...

With only 11 players registered so far this qualifier is a bargain even if you buy in direct for $35.

Around the beginning of this month Full Tilt Poker changed their sign-up page to request a 'referral code' instead of a 'bonus code' to claim your first deposit bonus. We're not quite sure why they did this, nor do we really care - it's only a word after all. We just wanted to make sure everyone knew that bonus codes and referral codes are exactly the same thing and our own Full Tilt bonus code (oops,
Full Tilt referral code) FULTBONUS is still valid for a 100% match of your first deposit upto $600 plus entry to all future

For those who missed the ESPN shows, here are the results for the Full Tilt High Stakes Golf tournaments.
Event 1
Each player put in a $1m wager (yes, that’s $1,000,000) and split into teams for a Three Man Team Scramble with $1m to be won per hole for 9 holes. When the teams drew for a hole (in other words it was a tie), no blood (no money) was won for that particular hole. So this is how the lads finished…
1st Doyle Brunson (on crutches), Dewey Tomko and Vince Van Patten won 2 Holes (2 and 9) – prize $2m.
2nd Daniel Negreanu, Erick Lindgren and Josh Arieh won 1 hole (4) - prize $1m.
3rd Russ Hamilton, Phil Helmuth ...
