Party is all fun and games

Unintentionally, PartyGaming may have been responsible for a decrease in the entries for their WPT event at the Bellagio. Any players who took part in the 48hr Big game held in Mayfair,London found themselves unable to fly out of London in time for the $25k event at the Bellagio.

The players included Vegas regulars Roland de Wolfe, Neil Channing, Justin Bonomo,Isaac Haxton,Tony G, Jennifer Tilly and Phil Laak. Since Roland lost $100k he may not have had his tube fare to Heathrow. Tilly and Laak won that amount combined so they can enjoy a stroll around Nottinghill. An American player called David Peat, who I must confess is off my radar, was the big winner ending up + $205k.

PartyGaming have also unveiled a new game called the Circus. It is an interactive role playing slot. The closest American casinos have is probably the Star Trek game.With its rollerskating monkeys, midgets and bearded ladies it sounds like the game was devised by Warren Lush himself!

Totti signs for Party Italia:Dario cries

Francesco Totti, the Roma soccer star, has signed for the Italian division of PartyPoker. Totti is no run of the mill soccer player in Rome, he is a legend. Totti has shown a rare loyalty to Roma never being tempted, to be like Robbie Keane or Craig Bellamy,to move to Milan or England for a huge signing on fee.Now 34 years old the player,whose poker ability is unknown to me,said of the deal ” I always apply myself with skill,loyalty, intelligence and passion.You need all of these for poker.It is a game that excites me and is a lot of fun.”

A PartyPoker.It spokesman added ” What Totti strives for he usually achieves.He is one of the greatest football players of his generation.The question is will he become one of the greatest poker players?”

With Totti’s loyalty he may have many years at Party to achieve greatness.

PokerStars pro Dario Minieri, a Roma fan, will be heartbroken that his hero is now playing for his rivals.
