On today’s edition of The Daily Deal, we have a special edition for you today. We’ll recap yesterday’s huge victory for poker in the United States, find out what amendments were added and find out what’s next for the bill.

Hello, I’m Sean Gibson and welcome to The Daily Deal, brought to you by Poker News Daily. There is big news out of Washington as the house financial services committee met on Wednesday to discuss HR 2267. The bill, introduced by Barney Frank, calls for internet gambling regulation, consumer protection and enforcement. Many representatives were on hand to file amendments and make their voices heard. After several hours of debate, the bill was passed by a vote of forty-one to twenty-two. This marks the first of what will be many steps to be taken in order to regulate and fully legalize online poker in the United States.

The committee began discussion on provisions of the bill in the markup phase, which is where a congressional committee makes changes to a bill before it is voted on. Now that it has passed that step, it will go to the House of Representatives for another vote. Should it receive a majority vote there, it would then be passed along to the Senate for another majority vote, before being signed into law by the President.

Several amendments were made to HR 2267 on Wednesday, with each being handled invidiually and voted on by the representatives in attendance. Thirteen amendments passed, with the first being that sites that have intentionally broken internet gaming laws will be forbidden to get licenses in the United States. Other amendments include many that protect minors from being solicited via email or advertisements while others force all facilities of licensees that operate do so completely within the borders of the United States.

This marks a huge victory for the poker industry and those that want to enjoy the freedom of playing legally in the United States. Although it is just the first of many steps, the overwhelming margin of victory for the bill is a good indicator of its potential in congress.

The Poker players alliance, led by executive director John Pappas said,

“We commend the lawmakers who helped make H.R. 2267 stronger through a variety of consumer protection mandates … we thank Representatives John Campbell, Mary Jo Kilroy, and Melissa Bean for their thoughtful additions to the bill and their interest in preserving the rights of adult poker players in their districts.”

PokerStars has come out in support of HR 2267, despite the first amendment to the bill which might prevent them from doing business. It is pokerstars’s stance that they have been operating legally, and therefore, not affected by that first amendment. Whether that is true or not, and whether the bill is passed or not, remains to be seen.

The bill, which could ultimately lead to the legality and regulation of online poker in the States, will now be sent to the House of Representatives for more amendments and a majority vote.  Should the bill get the majority vote from the House of Representatives, it would then be passed along to the Senate for another majority vote, before being signed into law by the President.

Wednesday’s win was just the first of many in order to regulate online poker in the United States, but the PPA was very encouraged by the result.

“The fact is, online poker is not going away,” said Alfonse D’Amato, chairman of the PPA. “Congress has a choice — it can license and regulate it to provide government oversight and consumer protections, or our lawmakers can stick their heads in the sand, ignore it, and leave consumers to play on non-U.S. regulated websites in all 50 states. I’m glad the Financial Services Committee today overwhelmingly chose to act and protect Americans as well as preserve the fundamental freedoms of adults and the Internet.”

The committee spent hours Wednesday amending HR 2267 and several modifications were made to the bill. They include mandatory implementation of technologies to protect against underage gambling; high standards to prevent fraud, abuse and cheating, to ensure fair games for customers; requirements for operators to set daily, weekly or monthly limits on deposits and losses to monitor and detect individuals with excessive gaming habits; and requirements to ensure that bettors are restricted from using credit cards to gamble on the Internet.

“We commend the lawmakers who helped make H.R. 2267 stronger through a variety of consumer protection mandates,” said John Pappas, PPA executive director. “In particular, we thank Representatives John Campbell, Mary Jo Kilroy, and Melissa Bean for their thoughtful additions to the bill and their interest in preserving the rights of adult poker players in their districts.”

One area of concern lies within the first amendment discussed on Wednesday, which restricts sites that have intentionally broken Internet gaming laws from getting a license to conduct business in the United States. This will likely affect larger online poker sites such as PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and the old Ultimate Bet, all of which allowed players from the U.S. to play on their site following the passage of the UIGEA. The amendment, which was introduced by Congressman Brad Sherman, passed by a voice vote.

In a press release following the hearing, the PPA made the following statement regarding the amendment: “There is still much work to be done and areas of policy in this bill that must still be addressed. To be clear, despite the concerns of some of our members, nothing in the Committee-passed legislation precludes lawful Internet poker-only operators whom U.S. players know and trust today from the opportunity to operate under a regulated system. The PPA will work with House and Senate lawmakers to ensure that the final legislation produces the best regulated online gaming environment for the consumer.”

Stay tuned to Poker News Daily for the latest from Capitol Hill.?

The merger, which is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2011, will create the largest publicly traded online gaming conglomerate in the industry. According to Gaming Intelligence, the two companies combined to earn €682 million (approximately $892 million U. S. dollars) in 2009, with extensive reach into many areas of the online gaming industry including online poker, sports betting and bingo. The merger does have some hurdles to completion, one of which is the approval of 75% of each company’s stockholders.

“This is a transformational opportunity for both our companies to create the world’s largest listed online gaming business,” PartyGaming Chief Executive Officer Jim Ryan says in the press release and the Gaming Intelligence story. “With market leading positions in poker, sports betting, casino and games – in particular bingo – the new company will have a winning formula to exploit the growing online gaming market, supported by a strong balance sheet, significant cash flow generation and a highly experienced management team.”

Norbert Teufelberger, the Co-Chief Executive Officer of bwin, is quoted in the press release and Gaming Intelligence story as saying, “This merger of equals makes great strategic, operational and financial sense. We will be in pole position to capitalize on the wealth of opportunities that will flow from the continued evolution and expansion of the global online gaming industry.”

Leadership of the new company will be held by Ryan and Teufelberger in a co-CEO role, with the board of directors split evenly between the two companies. Martin Weigold, who currently is the Group Finance Director with PartyGaming, will assume the same role with the new company. Joachim Baca, currently the co-Chief Operating Officer at bwin, will become COO in full under the proposed merger. Current co-CEO Martin Bodner of bwin will step into the role of a non-executive member of the board in the new conglomerate.

The merger has been one of the worst kept secrets in the online gaming industry, with rumors of the deal dating back to late 2009. In a Poker News Daily story in December, both PartyGaming and bwin refused to discuss the rumored merger that had been reported in the London newspaper The Times. These rumors faded for a time before once again rising in April 2010, fueled by speculation from the Austrian web magazine Format and reports from Reuters India.

The combined PartyGaming/bwin company will be the largest publicly traded online gaming organization in the industry, with the duo’s net worth nearly €3.4 billion (approximately $4 billion U. S.) The proposed merger will see bwin take a 51.64% share of the new company, with its stockholders receiving 12.23 shares of PartyGaming for each share of bwin that is owned.

News of the merger has sent both entities stock prices soaring. Traded on the Vienna Stock Exchange, bwin Interactive Entertainment shares surged throughout Thursday, starting at €35.81 before peaking at €45.5 after the merger announcement. At the end of trading, bwin Interactive Entertainment settled in at €42, a 17.88% increase in value. PartyGaming, traded on the London Stock Exchange, showed similar activity on Thursday, starting off Thursday’s trading at 259.9p before jumping to 333p following the announcement. By the end of trading on the London Stock Exchange, PartyGaming stock sat at 309.5p, a 20.43% increase.?

One element that Tendler brings that many mental coaches do not is an educated background in therapy. He has a Master’s degree in psychology and doesn’t focus on how to deal with tilt, but helps you figure out what causes tilt in the first place so it can be prevented. Tendler is a licensed mental health counselor.

Some of Tendler’s listed clients include the aforementioned Dusty Schmidt and Matt Bolt, but also Hunter “Beachjustice” Bick, Paul “GiantBuddha” Hoppe and Alan Jackson. An entire description of Tendler’s services can be found on his website, and he says he commonly works with players on all reasons of tilt, anxiety, focus, confidence and motivation. New clients are required to fill out a questionnaire which help Tender start sessions in an informed atmosphere.

In this interview, Tendler talks about why he visited the 2010 World Series of Poker and comments a bit about his client, Schmidt. He also talks about his upcoming book, which promises to be a user-friendly guide for poker players to tackle mental and emotional problems, while maximizing performance. Tendler said that he is hoping to have his book completed around Thanksgiving of this year.

Leo Margets: My run was amazing, but I was not aware of it until this year. At the time of playing I was completely focused on winning one hand and then the next one, not of my standing in the race.
Placing 27th has definitely changed things in the table: other players act differently, and I have gotten more attention from my sponsor 888.

PND: Your title defense came up short in 2010. Walk us through your run in this year’s Main Event.

LM: I didn’t really feel a lot of extra pressure. I went out with a very polemic hand: I had 98 in the hole and was 3-bet by a very aggressive player whom I knew well from before. There were about 60 Big Blinds on the table, and my options were 4-betting him back or playing after the flop. I decided to flat call and play aggressively post flop, which was 8-9-Q rainbow. I decided to lead out in case he raised, but he shoved with 45 Big Blinds. He had Kings and spiked a Q on the river.
I was very sad to be left with only 5 big blinds, because I was looking forward to a big comeback, but ultimately it’s better to bust in Day 2 than in the bubble!

PND: You’re signed by 888. How did that sponsorship opportunity come up?

LM: Good timing! A few months after I started playing poker I went to the Casino in Barcelona to play a University Tournament, and I won it. 888 spotted me and offered to sponsor me for Spanish tournaments with buy-ins between 100 and 1000 Euros. Then the WSOP was approaching and many friends of mine were going, so I asked 888 if they would sponsor me, even though it was not part of my deal. I was very insistent until they finally said yes, and I promised I would not disappoint them!

PND: How are you treated differently at the poker table now compared to before your Main Event run in 2009?

LM: I get a lot more attention from the media and the crowd – it is so cool to hear nice things and support from the crowd! But sometimes I would prefer to be anonymous at the table,because others like to bluff me more when they know who I am.

PND: How did you get started in poker?

LM: It was completely weird. I was out on a first date, and at the time I didn’t know anything about cards. I invited him for a drink and he declined because he had a poker game. I was intrigued – what was this poker thing that was more important than a date? So I asked him if I could come along and see. This relationship really got me into poker; he was a great teacher and really helped me understand what poker is about. I got crazy about poker and started playing lots online, and the rest is history.

PND:We saw you walking down the red carpet at the Ante Up for Africa event at the WSOP this year. Talk about playing alongside major celebrities and other high-caliber poker pros.

LM: I respect everyone at the tables, but I’m not more nervous when I’m playing with pros. At this year’s Ante Up For Africa I got to sit next to Phil Gordon and Matt Damon. It was nice: I had never met Matt Damon. But he didn’t affect my game. What really affected it was multi-tabling live for the first time in my life – I was playing the $2,500 event at the same time, so I probably gambled a lot more at Ante Up for Africa.

PND: What upcoming photo shoots or other non-poker related projects do you have coming up?

LM: I already did a photo shoot for the Sunday magazine of El Pais [N.Ed.:one of the largest Spanish newspapers] and a couple of women’s magazines. I was also recently approached by either Elle or Vogue – can’t quite remember – but that won’t happen till September because I am taking a little holiday. I also contributed to two books.

PND: We know you’re talented at No Limit Hold’em. Have you tried to learn other poker games? How has that been going?

LM: Before this World Series I was taking Razz lessons with a friend, hoping to be able to play H.O.R.S.E., but I decided to give myself another year so I wouldn’t feel like I was improvising. I was doing a lot better in Omaha, but I missed my event this year because I was still playing another. Next year I will play other variants besides Hold’Em for sure.

PND: Quick quiz: Hottest male poker player is ___ (and why)?

LM: It would not be very original to say Antonius, right? Let’s say my ex who taught me to play poker 5 years ago. He is cute, sexy and smart.

Straight ahead on the Daily Deal, we’ll talk about who the odds makers think of the November Nine, recap the Commerce Casino Million Dollar Tournament, discuss the Poker Players Alliance and the latest from Capitol Hill, and finally find out which two sites just gained French licenses.

Hello, I’m Sean Gibson and welcome to The Daily Deal by Poker News Daily.

We’ll start off today by looking at who the odds makers are picking to win it all in November at the World Series of Poker Main Event. Online betting sites such as BetFair and BetUs have released their odds for each of the November Nine. Jonathan Duhamel opened up as a two to one favorite but now is at 3.7 to 1, with John Dolan not too far behind Duhamel in the odds. Short stack Soi Nguyen is sitting at eighteen point five to 1 and the shortest stack, Jason Senti, has odds set at twenty-five to 1. You can decide who you think is the odds on favorite yourself, as coverage of the WSOP starts on ESPN tonight.

The Commerce Casino Million Dollar Guarantee Championship was played out in Los Angeles over the weekend with a special buy-in of just $335. The Matt Savage creation featured five opening days and allowed players that busted from earlier days to enter back on a successive day. Three thousand three hundred players ended up entering and made for the biggest tournament field in the history of Los Angeles poker, but still fell short of the guarantee by sixty thousand dollars. A six way split of the top prize money was agreed in the wee hours of Monday, with Richard Bakovic winning the title of champion and taking home one hundred and seventy three thousand dollars.

With the regulation of online poker a hot topic on Capitol Hill this week, Poker Players Alliance chairman Alfonse D’Amato was eager to voice his opinion in support of poker players in the United States. D’Amato spoke out on subjects such as the taxation of online poker, the government acting on behalf of U.S. banks, and the intentions of our Founding Fathers. He opened his editorial by mentioning the popularity of poker and the amount of support it has received following the implementation of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. Regulation of internet poker in the United States has come up in HR 2267 which is currently making its rounds in Washington.

Finally, news from France as ARJEL, issued licenses to Full Tilt Poker and PKR, who are both allowed to get back into the French market. The Full Tilt entity that was actually issued the license is cleverly named Rekop, and French customers can visit FullTiltPoker.fr to download the software. PKR France SAS was issued PKR’s license and, predictably, players can visit PKR.fr for that poker room’s offering.

That does it for today’s daily deal and as always be sure to follow us at twitter dot com slash poker news daily and also book mark our site. I’m Sean Gibson thanking you for watching and wishing you good luck at the tables.

The hearing got underway just after 10:00 a.m. ET and the committee began discussing provisions of the bill in the markup phase. This is the phase where a Congressional committee makes changes to a bill before it is voted on and eventually sent to the House of Representatives for another vote. Should the bill get the majority vote from the House of Representatives, it would then be passed along to the Senate for another majority vote, before being signed into law by the President.

Several amendments were made to HR 2267 on Wednesday. Each amendment was handled individually and voted on by the representatives in attendance. Here’s a recap of what was discussed:

Amendment 1 (Congressman Brad Sherman, Calif.): Sites that have intentionally broken Internet gaming laws cannot get a license to conduct business in the United States. This will likely affect larger online poker sites such as PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and the old Ultimate Bet, all of whom allowed players from the U.S. to play on their site after the UIGEA went into effect. Amendment is taken to a voice vote, where representatives are asked to motion whether they are in favor or against the amendment. Amendment passes by voice vote.

Amendment 2 (Congressman Peter King, New York): Prohibits sports betting, excluding horseracing. King and several other representatives strongly support the notion of keeping sports clean and away from anything that will undermine the integrity of the game. Amendment passes by voice vote.

Amendment 3 (Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy, Ohio): Secretary of Treasury has the power to prohibit unsolicited emails and advertisements targeted to minors and problem gamblers. Amendment passes by voice vote.

Amendment 4 (Congressman Spencer Bachus, Alabama, and Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Minnesota): Forbids offshore sites that have illegally done business in the US, along with people who have been employed by said sites, from getting a license. Bachus aims to include everyone associated with an “illegally-run” online gambling site be banned; Frank disputes the provision, saying that a janitor or restaurant worker employed inside of a brick and mortar casino would not be held responsible for the mishandlings of upper management; the same should hold true for an online company. Bachus withdraws amendment and says he would like to resubmit. Bachus reintroduces amendment later in the day, stipulating that only those who knew they were working at an illegally-run Internet site will be banned from obtaining a license. Amendment is later voted on by roll-call.

Amendment 5 (Congressman Joe Baca, Calif.): Allows Indian tribes to participate in Internet gambling. Frank quickly denies the amendment as it is not germane, or relevant to the subject.

Amendment 6 (Congressman Joe Baca, Calif): Allow states/tribes to opt-in to Internet gambling. Frank emphasizes that the choice to gamble online should be up to the person, not to the state where they reside. Amendment denied by voice vote, but is later voted on by roll-call.

Amendment 7 (Congressman John Campbell, Calif): Includes several provisions: 1.) All facilities of licensees that operate and/or accept wagers be located in the US; 2.) States and tribes must have parallel authority; 3.) Bettors must be at least 21 years of age; 4.) Age and residence of bettors must be verified; 5.) Odds of winning at each game must be posted online, 6.) The identities of legal and illegal gambling sites must be verified by the treasury in order for banks to prohibit certain financial transactions; 7.) Owners must meet licensing requirements; 8.) Sites must provide loss limits for each bettor. Amendment passes by voice vote.

Amendment 8 (Congressman Brad Sherman, Calif.): States are given one full legislative session to opt out, as opposed to the original period of 90 days. Amendment passes by voice vote.

Amendment 9 (Congressman John Campbell, Calif): Internet sites who advertise towards minors will have their license revoked. Amendment passes by voice vote.

Amendment 10 (Congresswoman Melissa Bean, Illinois): Treasury is required to observe Internet sites and accordingly sanction fines and revoke licenses if minors are found gambling. Amendment passes by voice vote.

Amendment 11 (Manager’s amendment — the majority and minority member who managed the debate): Bets are to be made with prepaid cards and debit cards only; bettors will be restricted from using credit cards on Internet gambling sites. In addition, the House Financial Services Committee will have no jurisdiction on tribal rights. Amendment passes by voice vote.

Amendment 12 (Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Minnesota): Internet sites are forbidden from allowing people who are delinquent on child support from gambling on their site. Sites who don’t obey this rule lose their license. Amendment passes by voice vote.

Amendment 13 (Congressman Gary Peters, Michigan): State and tribal lotteries are exempt from licensing requirements, as long as they are intrastate activities. Currently, these lotteries are already subject to state licensing, and the Federal government should not get involved. Amendment passes by voice vote.

Following the passing of the final amendment of the afternoon, Rep. Bachus called for a roll call vote, which Rep. Frank scheduled for 3:20 p.m. ET. The first roll call vote was on the opt-in amendment by Rep. Baca, which was defeated by a vote of 37-22. The next in line was Bachus’ amendment, which was also voted down, by a vote of 43-22. Finally, HR 2267 came before the committee, and it passed by an overwhelming margin of 41-22.

Stay tuned to Poker News Daily as we continue the follow the fight to regulate online poker in the U.S.

In this interview with Bernard Lee, Brunson talks about how this year’s World Series of Poker has gone. He also talks about the famous card protector, which was won by Howard Lederer. Brunson admits that he purchase the card protector back from Lederer for the sum of $8,500. Why is it so sentimental? Well, Brunson also talks about that too during the interview. He also talks about his children, specifically Todd and Pam, who are both accomplished poker pros. Pam Brunson has routinely outlasted her brother and father in the World Series of Poker Main Event for years and years, which Doyle Brunson comments about.

Doyle Brunson was the first player to win a $1,000,000 tournament and gained popularity after he won the Main Event and wrote the iconic best selling book, “Super/System” which many account as the way they learned to play poker. He has 11 bracelets to his name at the WSOP, not to mention many other titles, including ones from the World Poker Tour.

Bernard Lee is a correspondent for Poker News Daily and can also be found on ESPN’s Inside Deal on ESPN.com. He is also the official spokesperson for Foxwoods Casino and has an accomplished career as a No Limit Hold’em tournament and cash game player. This segment known as the “Hijack Seat” is a series of intervies taken at the WSOP 2010.

The Full Tilt entity that was actually issued the license is cleverly named Rekop, and French customers can visit FullTiltPoker.fr to download the software. PKR France SAS was issued PKR’s license and, predictably, players can visit PKR.fr for that poker room’s offering.

As for the other companies who were awarded licenses, Ad Astra (pokersubito.fr) and FullFun (pokerxtrem.fr) will become a part of the new 888/Microgaming French market joint venture. Barriere, which owns and operates land-based casinos, hotels, restaurants, and resorts in France, will team up with France’s former sports betting monopoly, Francaise de Jeux, to offer online poker in the fall.

CanalWin (canalwin.fr or canal-win.fr) will use its new license in a sports betting joint venture with Ladbrokes and three pari-mutuel horse betting sites – Jeux 365 (jeux365.fr), Geny Infos (genbet.fr), Zeturf France (zeturf.fr) – were also issued French licenses. Zeturf plans on joining up with Unibet, although Unibet has yet to receive a license.

For almost three years, the online gambling market in France was owned by a state run monopoly. In April, however, a law was passed to allow for regulated gaming, opening up the market to foreign operators who follow strict guidelines and, of course, receive a license from ARJEL. While the licensing program sounds good on the surface, it has caused much discontent amongst French players, as not only are they limited to playing with their countrymen on the licensed sites, but some of the poker rooms are passing along added costs from the licensing to their players.

With the nine new companies on board, the list of ARJEL licensees now stands at twenty-seven. The first eleven licenses were issued in June, with Bwin, ChiliGaming, PartyGaming, Everest Poker, BetClic, and Paddy Power amongst those being granted the right to offer their services to French citizens. PokerStars was in the next wave of licensees, meaning that six of the seven largest rooms/networks on PokerScout.com’s cash game traffic rankings – PokerStars, Full Tilt, PartyPoker, iPoker (via Chili Poker), Ongame, and Microgaming) – now have French offerings. In fact, PokerStars.fr itself ranks ninth, ahead of Everest Poker.

D’Amato opened his editorial by mentioning the popularity of poker and the amount of support it has received following the implementation of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA). Said D’Amato, “Under the liberty and freedom section of the new GOP website America Speaking Out, more Americans voted to legalize Internet poker than weighed in on any other issue. That should come as no surprise. When President-elect Barack Obama solicited ideas on his new website, www.change.gov, legalizing Internet poker was one of the two top issues.”

Poker players around the country have rallied behind the PPA by calling, writing and e-mailing their State Representatives in order to have their rights protected. The PPA has even set up a pre-written letter to send to a person’s corresponding Congressman. In just a few minutes time a letter can be sent and your voice can be heard.

“It takes real passion to get people to take valuable time out of their day to log onto these websites, give up a portion of their privacy and cast their vote for an issue,” stressed D’Amato. “So it is extraordinary that making Internet poker legal consistently ranks as a top issue for the American people.”

A major problem that poker players have faced for the past couple years has been depositing and withdrawing their own money from online poker sites. Though D’Amato and fellow PPA chairman John Pappas have referred to the execution of the UIGEA as a “bump in the road,” players have seen their checks bounce and deposits have become nearly impossible to complete as online poker sites have tried desperately to weave around the forceful hand of the U.S. government.

“The fact that America has not already regulated Internet poker but has actually tried to prohibit it by deputizing U.S. banks to play the morality police is bizarre,” said D’Amato. “Proponents of the law say that it helps deter kids from playing poker in their bedrooms. But there is little evidence to suggest that this law has deterred kids from playing poker.

“In fact, playing Internet poker is still easy to do for just about everybody. Instead of playing in a more regulated industry, the law has created an environment where there is no federal oversight — because there are no U.S. companies to regulate.”

D’Amato, Pappas, and Rep. Barney Frank (House Financial Services Committee chairman) have also emphasized the tax benefits the country will receive from the regulation of online poker. With the country in turmoil over its trillion-dollar budget deficit, regulating and taxing online poker could provide some relief over the years.

Said D’Amato, “By refusing to regulate this industry, the federal government has also decided to refuse to tax it. That means that billions of dollars in potential tax revenue go uncollected. This is just about the only industry I know of that has basically begged to be taxed — only to be ignored by politicians who refuse to listen to the desires of the American people.”

Finally, D’Amato talked about where it all started in this country: liberty and freedom. D’Amato referenced the Founding Fathers in the conclusion of his article, saying, “The freedom to play poker is not one of the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights. But when the Founding Fathers conceived of a new nation, they never dreamed that someday Congress would dream up a law to ban that particular freedom — especially when such a ban was so clearly against the wishes of the American people.”

The House Financial Services Committee hearing on the markup of HR 2267, a bill to provide for the licensing of Internet gambling activities by the Secretary of the Treasury, was originally scheduled for Tuesday but was postponed until Wednesday.
