Local ways of getting together
February 22nd, 2011 | 
Author: A night club in Victoria called Dodge City invented a special way of getting local citizens together for an evening of fun. Locals socialize via poker. However, this particular poker club does not require money from the players to enter into the game – the only currency is tournament points. Only the final tournament played by the best ones is about winning real money.

The games take place every Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evening and each round is three-weekly.

Phil Hellmuth to appear in a televised dance
A member of the Poker Hall of Fame and a holder of 11 WSOP bracelets Phil Hellmuth alias Hellmouth (alias given by journalists) is going to take part in the celebrity show Dancing with the Stars. He will take part in the 12th series of the show and judging by his latest Twitter feeds, he might make a funny sight on the dance floor. Phil Hellmuth is one of the most famous poker players, born in Madison. At the age of 24 he became the youngest player to ever win the main event of the World Series of Poker, keeping that title up until 2008 when he was overtaken by Peter Eastgate. He even runs his own brand of clothing called Poker Brat, which is also his nickname in the poker sphere he earned by his often inept conduct at the table.
