Ladies & Gentlemen it's almost time for NBC's NHUC Elite Eight to get under way. They will back at it at 10:45 PST and here they are:

Andrew Robl vs. David Benyamine. Roble "Good2cu" had to beat former NFL star and now Full Tilt Poker Red Pro Emmitt Smith and James Bord to advance. David Benyamine just took out Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi.
Vanessa Selbest vs. Erik Seidel. Selbest eliminated "OMGClayAiken" Phil Galfond in the previous round and Seidel took out another Phil in Phil Gordon. Seidel also took down Jennifer Harman, one of the best female cash players around.
Olivier Busquet vs. Jonathan Duhamel. Busquet already eliminated Jason Mercier and Duhamel has taken down the likes of Esfandiari so this should be a good fought match.
Chris Moneymaker vs. David Oppenheim. Moneymaker is having a run-super-good streak after taking down the likes of online giant "Jungleman12" Dan Cates and everyone's favorite living legend Doyle Brunson. Meanwhile Oppenheim has already eliminated one run-good player in the like of Carlos Mortensen.

Well Ladies and Gents GSN's High Stakes Poker is back for Season 7 starting on Feb.26th at 8pm

Kara Scott will at least still be there as the other host. Here is the cast list as of right now:

Antonio Esfandiari Phil Laak Daniel Negreanu
Andrew Robl Phil Galfond Mike Baxter
Eric Boneta Robert Croak Jonathan Duhamel

Bellagio Robbery Suspect Arrested: Judge's son is suspect.

2011-02-03T05:28:00.000-08:00

According to Las Vegas Review-Journal 29yr. old Anthony Michael Carleo was arrested Wednesday by Las Vegas Police in connection with the much publicized Bellagio Robbery. He was arrested after trying to sell the high value chips from the Bellagio Robbery to undercover officers. Not to mention at the time he was also a guest of the Bellagio. Search warrants were issued for both his room and his fathers home in Las Vegas. (we do not know the outcome of those searches yet)

Anthony Michael Carleo was a real estate broker while living in Pueblo, Colorado and owned a DJ service along w/a limo rental service that he actually co-owned w/his step-father Gino Carleo. Anthony Carleo filed for bankruptcy back in 2009 and was living with his birth father and Judge George Assad at his home in Las Vegas during the time of the arrest.

George Assad was elected to the position of Municipal Court Judge back in 2003 but in 2008 was ordered by the Nevada Supreme Court to pay for and attend Judicial Ethics classes after having ordered a woman to be locked up in jail for 2 hours at a traffic court hearing.

More to come.....and here is the police report for the arrest Bellagio Robber Arrest Report

Ladies and Gents we've been away to long. Out smoking cigars and sipping some scotch with friends but here we are with some much needed poker news

High Stakes Poker is finally back and will be starting up on Feb. 26th on GSN. Gabe Kaplan and Kara Scott return but that's where the similarities may possibly stop. You may remember we reported awhile back that Poker Stars had slid in and taken the sponsorship spot from Full Tilt and thus we are not sure if you will be seeing the likes of Tom Dwan, Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius, and Erik Lindgren, just to name a few. There is no cast list yet released but we'll keep you up to date.
Poker Stars Pro Daniel Negreanu has stated that he is going to try and reach Poker Stars SUPERNOVA status. A status reserved for those who reach 100k VPPs no easy feat, last year Negreanu reached just over 55k VPPs
Patrik Antonius smashed the online tables at Full Tilt over the weekend to the tune of $447k + and on top of that he took down massive pots in the Aussie Millions High Stakes cash game
UB.com's UBOC $2,100 Super High Roller Event saw a nice sign up of 387 players with a prizepool of around $774k. The official winner was user JARFISH taking home $124k (it was actually a 4 way chop) .UB.com's UBOC $162 No Limit Hold'em Deep Stack Sniper Event saw a nice 3-way chop too
in smaller news BWIN announced it's iPhone app for real money play, you can read more about that here BWIN iPhone App (we say small news b/c we're in America and we can't play on BWIN)

Ok ladies and gents we'll be back with more poker info. this week

Patrik Antonius takes over $400k from high stakes player KAGOME KAGOME. you may not recognize the name but the player used to go by the id IHATEJUICE but was asked to change his name when it was pointed out that the player resides in Germany and the term "Juice" is used as slang for Jews. Interestingly enough the term Kagome is Japanese and translates to "Demon/Ogre" and Kagome Kagome is a Japanese childrens game like tag.

Phil Hellmuth talks about leaving the UB brand

2011-01-06T11:36:00.000-08:00

yes ladies and gents, Phil Hellmuth has broke his silence. HA just kidding, he's never silent, however he did do an interview with CardPlayer.com about his recent departure from UB.com. Here is an excerpt:

Julio Rodriguez: Did UB decide to cut ties with you, or did you decide to leave the company?

Phil Hellmuth: It was honestly a joint decision. It was a business related decision for me, and I think it was the same for them. It’s pretty simple really. Annie [Duke] and I happened to leave at the same time, and people may not read that as a coincidence, but if you ask her she’ll confirm that it was.

JR: Speaking of Duke, did the two of you discuss leaving with each other, or was it just a coincidence that she also decided to not renew her contract?

PH: It really was a coincidence. I knew that Annie was thinking about leaving, and she was obviously aware that I was in the process of leaving, but it really was a coincidence that we both happened to officially leave on the same day. I mean, I’ve been talking with UB about the possibility of leaving since November. If I had to guess, I would have thought that we’d be leaving a month or two apart from each other, but I that’s not how it worked out. I don’t know her situation, but for me, it was purely a business decision.

Joe Sebok Confirms UB.com is the place to play!

2011-01-03T21:01:00.000-08:00

Shortly after Daniel Negreanu went on a twitter rampage about how he felt with Prahlad Friedman's possible signing with UB.com we reported that we had emailed UB/Absolute Poker support to ask the simple question. "is Russ Hamilton still affiliated with UB.com or the current management in any way", and we never herd back for 24 hours. Even after tweeting the two poker rooms directly we still didn't hear anything back.

But....after just one mention to Joe Sebok on the twitter page asking the same question he swiftly took care of business by tweeting us back "..of course. the answer is no. see my blogs for the last 18 months regarding it pls." and we greatly appreciate the quick response of Mr. Sebok and here is a link to his blog regarding the issue.
Joe Sebok's Blog

We pursued this rather simple question so much b/c UB.com and Absolute Poker have been a favorite of ours and we never like something or someone we believe in coming into question with out being given the chance to prove themselves. After the "super user" scandal years ago, these two poker rooms came under fire, but even after they tried to fix the problems and become a better company both in reputation and in security measures there are still doubters out there. Hopefully this will help clear up the air a bit.
In all points of online poker there will always be questions raised ex. did Andy Bloch put bots on Full Tilt's site, do they do it to fill tables, did PokerStars know about the Chinese collusion ring..etc All poker sites will face things and hopefully come out for the best. What we can surely say is that UB and Absolute Poker have given us no reason for doubts since then and have become a great site to play poker and their pro's will talk to you about their love of the game just ask them!

Here is an email that was sent in response to our email to UB/Absolute Poker support:

Hello Andrew,

I hope this email finds you well.

Your email was recently sent to me by my staff, I would like to thank you for taking the time to write to us and would like to let you know that Russ Hamilton is not involved in our operations and has no ownership interests in the company whatsoever, we are in no way at all currently associated to him.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Best Regards,

Prahlad Friedman To sign with UB/Absolute Poker

2011-01-02T14:39:00.000-08:00

Recognize the name Prahlad Friedman and Ultimate Bet....probably b/c back during the Ultimate Bet/Russ Hamilton (and maybe Freddy Deep) Scandal one of the guys taken for his bankroll was Prahlad Friedman (no we don't know how to pronounce it) the other big name was Mike "the mouth" Matusow. Since then Ultimate Bet has changed ownership and added SSL security and offers a special log in pin (free of charge) to ensure nothing like this happens. HOWEVER, Daniel Negreanu spoke out on twitter about the possible signing of Prahlad's signing with UB.com (ok we're calling him Piranha from here on out) via twitter.com/RealKidPoker

So disappointed in @prahladfriedman signing with the devil who stole millions from him.He was so "anti sellout" then he did the unthinkable.

They must have paid him a lot to join the dark side and endorse the exact same people who ruined him. So sad and so mind boggling

The current owners of AP/UB are spending Prahlad's money, they must be mocking him at this point. Cheat the dude and watch him endorse us!

As far as we can tell UB and Absolute Poker have done everything they can to fix the problem they had with Russ Hamilton using a Super User account and have since proven to be a great place to play poker.

Happy New Year!

2011-01-01T12:39:00.000-08:00

From everyone here at RatPackPoker.net we would like to wish you a Happy New Year and much success in the world of Poker!

Phil Hellmuth leaves UB.com (formerly Ultimate Bet)

2010-12-31T08:44:00.000-08:00

Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke leave UB (formerly Ultimate Bet)

First Annie Duke leaves UB
Annie Duke just left UB.com (formerly Ultimate Bet) in what she said was to "..explore other avenues of business and personal growth..". She had been with the company for 9 years and recently got engaged. So a change of pace was probably needed for the lady, plus it's also a good move for UB who is more or less re-branding their look to go towards a younger audience. Either way we are sure Annie Duke will be very successful in whatever she has planned.

Now the other big news: Phil Hellmuth leaves UB
Here is a post from Phil's blog:

December 30, 2010
   Over the last few months, rumors have been floating around that UB.com and I have parted ways.
   Today, I'd like to confirm yes, it's true. I no longer wear the UB patch. UB.com and I have chosen
   to end our longstanding relationship.
   This was a mutual decision, and a difficult one for both parties to make. But I truly believe it's the
   right move for me and for the rebranded UB.com
   I sincerely wish everyone at UB.com-from management to the frontline staff to every player who
   loves this
   game as much as I do.
   -the very best.

   Phil Hellmuth

We think (and this is speculation only so far) that Hellmuth will probably be signed with the WSOP.com and be teaching classes. It would be a perfect fit for him, as he is a staple of the WSOP. We also believe he has made a deal with Aria Resort and Casino.
Either way we wish both super stars the very best!

"Durrrr" Challenge 2 done!

2010-12-27T08:35:00.000-08:00

Ladies and Gents, it's over yes the Durrrr Challenge 2 is over, well at least as far as we're concerned.

Tom Dwan's "Durrrr Challenge" number two is on a break but who really cares anymore honestly. The play between Dwan and "JungleMan12" Cates never had a real schedule so you never knew when they'd be playing or for how long. Remember the first "Durrrr Chanllenge" that took place against Patrik Antonius and basically never finished. Yeah that challenge started off pretty good but they never had a set schedule either and after awhile it just became lack luster; You could catch some of the hands played out on websites like PokerListings.com, but that's not what you wanted you wanted to see the live action not replayed hands.
Now with the latest challenge put on another break, we ask did it ever really have a chance? No not really. Dwan probably over committed himself to various venues where he must spend more time at and trying to play here and there with poor internet connectivity is pointless anyway. The challenge may have stood a chance if they simply got out a calendar and marked all of the upcoming events they would be attending and then came together and said ok on this day of this month we can play for two hours and we'll let everyone know and then stick to it. Maybe in the future two big names will do something similar and handle it better.

Merry Christmas!

Rat Pack Poker News from Dec.6-12th

2010-12-18T13:02:00.001-08:00

Ladies and Gents here is your poker news

Rumors abound that PokerStars has slipped in and bought up the sponsorship for GSN's High Stakes Poker. Full Tilt Poker has been the sponsor for the past seasons and even though none of the players ever wore logo's or advertisements Full Tilt is still concerned that people would be confused as to which site their players are associated with. What does this mean for the new season..check back and we'll let you know as soon as we do
Tom Dwan inched his way back to a $63k win in his "Durrrr" Challenge, that still puts him down around $500k for the challenge thus far against "Jungleman12". Dwan was up $354k during the session but dropped some $200k in a pot and then had some more misfortune when he flopped the nut flush against the 'jungles' two pair and lost his internet connection forcing the hand to be checked down. No offense to Dwan but if you're playing pots worth $200k you may want to make sure you have a solid connection, yet we're sure this swing didn't affect him too much. He did tweet that he was a bit tilted after that hand.
The PPA announced that unfortunately the bill proposed by Senate Majority leader Harry Reid was dead in the water. But We'll keep trying!!!
Party Gaming co-founder Anurag Dikshit (yeah that's his real name) was finally sentenced to to 1 year probation and a $300 million dollar fine (yeah million) by a New York court. Dikshit has also agreed as part of the sentencing to cooperate in an ongoing investigation with federal prosecutors. Dikshit had sold off his shares in Party Gaming, the parent company of Party Poker, and admitted to violating the Wire Act of 1961 two years ago. Party Gaming is currently merging with BWIN the Austrian online sports book and casino/poker site.
