Online Bingo World Championship Attracts Record Numbers
It may only be the second week of the Bingohall.com World Championship of Online Bingo but it looks all set to be a bumper competition with a record number of players already qualified to compete.
In what could be the most coveted prize in the history of bingo on the internet, 70 players are already through to compete at the World Championship of Online Bingo Main Event on July 20, 2006.

'Entry into the World Championship Main Event on July 20 has become the hottest ticket in town and players are very excited about the huge cash prizes on offer.'
Online Casino to Offer Webcam
If you're the kind of player who likes playing poker in your pajamas then it may not be the ideal addition that you're looking for. But, after much anticipation, PharaohsPokerPalace.com, has committed to making webcam internet poker a reality.
In his Super System 2, the legendary Doyle Brunson suggested that 'just a couple of years down the road, you may well be able to see real opponents on your screen. Poker will be like a video conference, and you'll be able to focus on the players across the table from you and read them…tells will be everywhere, and then full-scale psychological warfare will come to the online poker battlefield – and nothing will be missing.'
When they initially introduce webcams, Pharaoh's Poker Palace intends to make them completely optional at all tables, allowing players an opportunity to become acquainted with the concept.
After the introductory period, however, a subset of tables will be designated as 'webcam only'. At these tables, all players will be required to have a webcam on themselves to play, creating a level playing field for those wanting to see and be seen.
Biggest Internet Pot Ever Played At Online Casino
If you're the kind of player who likes playing poker in your pajamas then it may not be the ideal addition that you're looking for. But, after much anticipation, PharaohsPokerPalace.com, has committed to making webcam internet poker a reality.
Fast_Freddie and Bad_ip, went head to head at CrazyPoker.com to play the highest cash game in online poker history.
The hand reached over $465,000 at one of CrazyPoker.com’s $200/$400 HeadsUp No Limit Hold’Em Tables.
The buy-in on the table was $40,000, with several re-buys raising the table value. Bad_ip consequently took the lead of $200,000 but Fast Freddie fought back to victory. The only other player that stepped into the action of the evening lost his bankroll a few minutes after joining.
Trevor Penn, manager of CrazyPoker.com, said, 'Wow, what a game. If you want to play against the best in high stakes Poker, you know where to come.'
Hundreds of spectators gazed at the table and the chat box was filling up extremely fast with posts pouring in.
This latest game beats the previous pot record, which reached $357,256.
Poker Tips from the Top
Online poker pro and Danish poker star Kim Birch has announced that before, during and just after the World Series of Poker (WSOP), new students of his online poker school can get free money if they become a member and that they will get the help needed to build a bankroll from scratch.
Since 2005, Kim Birch, a bestselling poker book author in his home country of Denmark, has been a sponsored live poker professional as well as an online poker machine renowned for his big cash game winnings online.
'I get a lot of questions about building a poker bankroll from scratch and if it is even possible to beat the small stake games offered today at the big online poker rooms,” says Birch. ”So I decided to create a new poker alias on a new site with a name no one knew me under. With a few hundred bucks I started playing and taking notes of my progress while writing the articles.
'Without revealing too much, within a month I had built a bankroll of $3000 plus with a starting bankroll of $200,” says Birch. “I documented it all and plan to release my articles in English after WSOP.”
Online Player Takes a Seat at the WSOP
The second of three freerolls in a series leading up to the World Series of Poker (WSOP) was won by a 24-year-old Danish student calling himself 'Yogo1.'
The freeroll tournament, sponsored by PokerListings.com and PacificPoker.com, took place in early June. Yogo1 beat 112 players to win a WSOP Main Event prize package including the $10,000 buy-in and $2,500 for travel and accommodation expenses.
The possibility of a triumph did not occur to Yogo1 until the later stages of the game: 'It was not before we were down to four or five left that I believed I had a shot at winning the tournament,' he said. 'I had played as a low stack for much of the tournament, getting the better of some coin flips in some crucial situations.'
'As Yogo1 found out, the freeroll tournaments we're offering with Pacific Poker are a great chance for players to earn a seat at the WSOP Main Event this summer,' said Steven Williams, senior editor at PokerListings.com. 'The strict requirements of this bonus make the odds good for any player who qualifies to compete for the WSOP prize package being offered.'
The final freeroll at Pacific Poker will be played in early July and will award a third $15,000 WSOP prize package.

Online Casino Player Gets Chance at a Million
An Aces.com's regular has qualified for the online elimination round in the Vegas-style site's Million Dollar Free Roll.
The Million Dollar round begins July 22 and will likely continue for two or three days. Ultimately the top twelve players will be flown to a secret tropical resort for the face-to-face Final Table.

their seat in one of three free heats held daily until July 21.
The victor will walk away a million dollars richer and Aces.com regulars hope it’s their buddy 'Brill'.
Aces.com Manager, Rene Quesada, said, ''Brill' played in our last Million Dollar Free Roll. He finished about 400th out of about 5000. I can tell you though, he’s played a lot of Texas Hold’em since then – could be a real contender this time ‘round.”
The confident player is hoping his “Brill Strategy' can help him win the million. “Last year was just practice – this year I’m playing to win! I have a strategy that I've formulated over the years that seems to work for me. I call it my ‘Brill Strategy’.
'Of course, no matter how good a player you are, you need to get lucky. And sometimes the luckiest thing that can happen, is avoiding being unlucky.”

Poker Tips from the Top
Online poker pro and Danish poker star Kim Birch has announced that before, during and just after the World Series of Poker (WSOP), new students of his online poker school can get free money if they become a member and that they will get the help needed to build a bankroll from scratch.Since 2005, Kim Birch, a bestselling poker book author in his home country of Denmark, has been a sponsored live poker professional as well as an online poker machine renowned for his big cash game winnings online.
'I get a lot of questions about building a poker bankroll from scratch and if it is even possible to beat the small stake games offered today at the big online poker rooms,” says Birch. ”So I decided to create a new poker alias on a new site with a name no one knew me under. With a few hundred bucks I started playing and taking notes of my progress while writing the articles.
'Without revealing too much, within a month I had built a bankroll of $3000 plus with a starting bankroll of $200,” says Birch. “I documented it all and plan to release my articles in English after WSOP.”
Online Player Takes a Seat at the WSOP
The second of three freerolls in a series leading up to the World Series of Poker (WSOP) was won by a 24-year-old Danish student calling himself 'Yogo1.'The freeroll tournament, sponsored by PokerListings.com and PacificPoker.com, took place in early June. Yogo1 beat 112 players to win a WSOP Main Event prize package including the $10,000 buy-in and $2,500 for travel and accommodation expenses.
The possibility of a triumph did not occur to Yogo1 until the later stages of the game: 'It was not before we were down to four or five left that I believed I had a shot at winning the tournament,' he said. 'I had played as a low stack for much of the tournament, getting the better of some coin flips in some crucial situations.'
'As Yogo1 found out, the freeroll tournaments we're offering with Pacific Poker are a great chance for players to earn a seat at the WSOP Main Event this summer,' said Steven Williams, senior editor at PokerListings.com. 'The strict requirements of this bonus make the odds good for any player who qualifies to compete for the WSOP prize package being offered.'
The final freeroll at Pacific Poker will be played in early July and will award a third $15,000 WSOP prize package.
