Team Betfair At The WSOP: Another Amazing Experience - plus my links selection

A lot of exciting stuff today, from people like Marcel Luske and places like Nottingham.


Ok, let's get started. All the links:

- "888 Poker has seen revenues increase 88 percent year-on-year as it takes a major slice of the Spanish market and looks forward to further growth in the States. It was a case of all the eights for 888 Poker, as the companys revenue in the first quarter of 2012 showed an 88 percent year-on-year increase, prompting investment bankers and stockbrokers - Panmure, Gordon & Co. - to upgrade the companys profit forecast by a staggering 22 percent. The companys growth has been attributed to the shutdown of Full Tilt Poker coinciding with the launch of features intended to attract recreational poker players - such as the player-focused Poker 6 Platform and the popular PokerCams. Other promotional initiatives offered by 888 Poker have also increased its market share, especially the no deposit poker bonus of 5.00/$8.00" - [www.pokernewsreport.com]
