Any list of attractive women in poker that doesn’t include Shana Hiatt but puts Jennifer Tilly in the #2 slot clearly has some methodological issues, but AskMen’s recently published list of the top 10 ‘Poker Hotties’ salvaged at least some credibility by awarding WPT hostess Layla Kayleigh the top spot.
Excerpt from AM’s justification for Kayleigh’s win:
Layla Kayleigh is the newest host of the World Poker Tour’s televised circuit. She originally hails from London, England, but now calls Hollywood her home. She’s our No. 1 poker hottie because she combines an incredible body, stunning looks and the ability to charm the world over, which in our opinion is the only remedy for a bad beat at the poker table.

A casino in Quebec recently held the largest ever tournament held entirely on automated tables. According to a story at pokerpages.com, Casino de Montreal hosted a $225 buyin no-limit Texas hold’em tournament on Feb. 12, with 240 players competing on dealerless electronic poker tables. The casino just opened on Jan. 18. Other facilities with the automated tables, developed by PokerTek, Inc., had hosted tourneys with 100 players previously.
The maker of the automated tables talked with pokerpages.com:
“Running a tournament of this magnitude is what we always envisioned for PokerPro. We are pleased with the success of this tournament and proud of our partnership with Casino de Montreal,” says Chris Halligan, CEO of PokerTek, manufacturer of the PokerPro tables.
“The Quebecois players have embraced automated poker, as validated by the response to this tournament,” he added.
Mohamed Nadim, an engineering student, won the tournament and earned a $20,000 payday.
Update: Bodog domain dispute heats up

It looks like the conflict between gaming / entertainment conglomerate BodogLife and 1st Technology, LLC is coming to a head yet again. This week witnessed two dispatches from BodogLife, a press release and a blog entry from BodogLife owner Calvin Ayre, both of which took a heated tone in addressing recent tactics by 1st Technology, LLC in the ongoing legal dispute between the two parties.
Both the press release and the blog entry spend extensive time driving home the argument that the company 1st Technology is suing, Data Entry and Domain Management, S.A., is not now, nor has it ever been, a part of Bodog. Rather, the company in question in characterized by Ayre as a separate organization that provided some services to Bodog.
Excerpt from Ayre’s blog:
4. And the latest reports that some of our advertising contacts being issued subpoenas? No amount of digging through subpoenas on the part of the patent trolls is going to make the wrong company the right company or put assets into a company that was asset-less since before the litigation started. My advice to anyone getting one of these is to just say you have never worked for Bodog.com (you cannot work for a domain), or the company they mention in the documents and then just throw the thing in the garbage and treat the Trolls with the respect they deserve, ignore them entirely.
5. Let’s also not forget that I don’t know this guy at all, and neither do any of the other many companies he is victimizing. He made the conscious decision to attack one of our suppliers for personal gain at their expense, and in this effort has cost me and a lot of my good friends personally when our domains got dragged into this and he unilaterally shut them off without contacting us in advance. This is not someone I would feel inclined to hold back on as I cover this the way I see it. In my opinion Scott Lewis represents all that is evil in business today and I call them as I see them on my blog.
Excerpt from the press release:
As is clearly stated by the Antigua Gaming Commission, Bodog (now Bodoglife.com on the Internet) has been based in Antigua since fall 2006 and had been previously operating there under a license that was obtained when purchased from BetWWTS. Shortly thereafter, Bodog obtained its own license from the Antigua Gaming Commission, months prior to 1st Tech receiving a default judgment against Bodog’s former independent domain management service provider.
The Bodoglife.com domain was established shortly after the original Bodog domain was lost and has never received redirects from Bodog.com. The Bodoglife.com domain is no way connected with 1st Tech’s case and it stretches credulity for 1st Tech to claim that relationships between Bodog and its suppliers in relation to this domain could be in any way relevant to 1st Tech’s effort to collect its questionable default judgment from an independent, defunct, and essentially insolvent ex-service provider. No subpoena that is targeted at anything to do with Bodog.com should affect Bodoglife.com or .net advertising relationships.
