Hot Poker Thread of the Week
Who will be the community's representative in the League of Champions? After the last round of voting, the number of applicants was reduced to five. This week, a new round of voting has begun, as it will bring the number of applicants down to just two. Here are the five applicants you can cast vote for:
- twicet
- kaitz20
- tobycs
Who will proceed to the next round could easily be a matter of a single vote, so don't hesitate to cast your vote for whoever you deem the most worthy of becoming the community champion.

Poker Blog of the Week
What can you expect from a blog? In fongie's case, it would be easier to list the things you can't expect. His blog has everything, from graphs and hand discussions to video blog posts. This week, he shared a unique video with the rest of the community.
Topic of the video is the celebration of his first year as a poker pro! In case you haven't been an active follower of his blog, it might take you a bit of flipping across the pages to get to the video (for the lazy people: jump to the 31st page). Congratulations to Fongie for the accomplishment and let's hope his second year as a poker pro will be even more successful.
