| Informative Mr. Kaufman |
Yesterday's poker discussion at iGaming North America has been a huge success according to the world of Twitter.
Featuring PokerStrategy.com's news reporter 
MattKaufman and Sit & Go expert 
CollinMoshman, the talk has been met with praise from poker players and industry executives alike.
After attending the event at Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, poker pro Jonathan Aguiar tweeted that he thinks there are "exciting times ahead".
Similarly, Gus Fritschie, co-founder of SeNet International Gaming Labs, said it was the "most entertaining panel by far with @AgentMarco moderating and @KaufmanPoker giving informative responses."

Nevada signs online poker bill
Another piece of America's fragmented regulation process was put into place yesterday after Governor Brian Sandoval signed Nevada's Bill AB114.
Having been fast-tracked into place, the bill will allow the state to put online poker provisions into place without federal regulation. While the bill opens up Nevada to a host of poker companies, one site in particular will have to wait before they can join the party.
Thanks to a "bad actor" clause, any poker site that operated in the US after UIGEA will not be allowed operate within the state for five years; something which will directly affect PokerStars.
Immediately after signing the bill, Governor Sandoval tweeted: "Today, I signed into law the framework that will usher in the next frontier of gaming in #NV."

New chapter for WSOP
The World Series of Poker is the latest poker outfit to embrace the world of social media with the introduction of a new Facebook game.
Continuing their association with Electronic Arts (EA), Caesars Interactive Entertainment has just announced the release of World Series of Poker for Facebook.
Also available on Apple and Android platforms, the game takes a number of elements from the WSOP's computer game and allows players to battle for bracelets with their virtual friends.
Engel makes it five
 |
| Five for Ari |
First Greg Raymer found a niche on the Heartland Poker Tour with four outright wins and now it seems Ari Engel has done the same on the WSOP Circuit.
Following his latest victory at the tour's stop in Palm Beach, Engel now has five WSOP Circuit rings.
After fighting his way past 211 other players, Ari is now tied for second place in the title stakes along with Mark Smith, Kurt Jewell and Kyle Cartwright.
Engel's $26,501 payday takes his WSOP Circuit winnings to $290,592 and puts him just one victory away from Alexandru Masek's leading tally of six Circuit rings.
