Nominate the next player to win a Platinum Pass
We recap some stories you may have missed including a very special sweat for Jaime Staples and a $200,000 bad beat jackpot hits.
Nominate a player for a Platinum Pass
There are only a few Platinum Passes remaining but the ways to win them keep evolving and this one is arguably the most community focussed way yet.
PokerStars are giving the poker community the chance to vote on who should win the next PSPC pass both from France and Ireland (Team Ireland has 11 pass winners and Team France has 18, so this is to celebrate that overperformance this year). Players who have done a lot for poker in France or Ireland, or live there, but are not native French or Irish, are still eligible (but saying you like Guinness probably won't cut it).
Just say in 50 words or less who you are nominating and why either on Twitter (using hashtag #jointeamireland or #jointeamfrance) or email contest@starsgroup for Ireland or competition@starsgroup.com for France.
Tony G on CNN
It's always fun to check in periodically on Tony G now he has (mostly) left poker for a career in politics and last week he was on CNN discussing a very important topic, how the history of the Soviet Union has been somewhat glossed over and Soviet symbols are potentially being glorified:

An Ultimate Sweat on one knee
He may have already done the impossible with his epic weight loss bet, but no doubt Jaime Staples was still sweating buckets ahead of this major life event. Congratulations to him and, once again, what a journey he has been on this last 18 months or so:
Six-figure Bad Beat Jackpot
The Running Aces club in Columbus was the latest venue for a six-figure bad beat jackpot. Over $200,000 was shared among the players at this $3/$6 Limit table this week:
