Stirring On The Western Front

November 18, 2008

With the $2500 buy-in Western Classic Main Event just days away, it would seem that poker has finally arrived in Western Australia.   But the reality is that poker is no first-time visitor to our shores.   For years, the game has led a quiet life on the west coast, taking advantage of the state’s isolation to lead a modest, unassuming existence away from the gaze and hustle and bustle of the Eastern States.

Peter Eastgate Crowned WSOP Champion!

November 12, 2008

Six of the past eight World Champions have all hailed from the USA but this year it wouldn’t be a seventh as heads-up play is to be contested by a 22-year old Dane in Peter Eastgate and a 27-year old Russian in Ivan Demidov. With play due to start at 10pm local time there would be some delay as Erick Lindgren was presented with his 2008 WSOP Player of the Year Award; a custom Harley-Davidson Motorcycle. Starting heads-up play with only 57,725,000 chips in comparison to Eastgate’s 79,500,000, Demidov would take down the firs
