Moneymaker wins two NJSCOOP titles
We round-up some stories you may have missed including the Women's Hall of Fame and the return of Daniel Negreanu's Vlog.
Moneymaker SCOOPS twice
The New Jersey SCOOP series understandably is a minnow compared to the global series which starts this weekend, but big results by an icon of the game are always worth a mention.
The man who lit the fuse Chris Moneymaker won two NJSCOOP titles last month, the $200 Kickoff event for $5,445 and the $200 Stud Hi/Lo for $2,631. He also came 2nd in 4th in two other events.
By all accounts the new run of form came as a result of being coached by fellow Main Event champion Joe McKeehen. As online poker is finally moving towards an interstate solution in the US, the man responsible for the poker boom doing well at the tables is no doubt a good advert for the game.
Ho and Soto in Women's Hall of Fame
Maria Ho and Lupe Soto are this year's inductees into the Women in Poker Hall of Fame, beating tough competition including Kara Scott and Jennifer Tilly.
Lupe Soto not only worked in online poker in the late 1990s, she is the CEO of the Seniors Poker Tour, not to mention the founder of the Women's Poker Association and Women in Poker Hall of Fame.
Maria Ho is widely known not only as one of the toughest female players in the game but also one of the great ambassadors, with over $2.7 million in live cashes.
Taylor Black wins MILLIONS North America
The latest partypoker MILLIONS Main Event made three millionaires yesterday at the Playground Poker Club in Canada.
There were 1,954 entries in total and it was American Taylor Black who took it down for $1.4 million, defeating Daryl Fish heads-up (who collected $1.2 million). Third place finisher Anthony Rubtero took home a cool million.
Those were very impressive figures indeed when you consider EPT Monte Carlo is currently running alongside it (Check out the live stream today, the final 14 includes Patrik Antonius, Ole Schemion, David Peters, Davidi Kitai, Andre Akkari and Adrian Mateos).
