Online poker news from the PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker, the partypoker KO Series, and the GG Series. 

Baklava is a Middle Eastern sweet made from filo pastry, nuts and honey. Sweet-toothed people who don’t eat cane sugar love it. It’s not to be confused with a balaclava, which is a hood you slip over your face when robbing a bank.

Poker is a game played with a deck of cards, and No-Limit Hold’em is the most popular format. It’s not to be confused with the poker sadists use during sexual intercourse, or the one non-sadists use to stoke a fire.

Currently, in parts of the world not run by lunatics, people are playing online poker for vast sums of money. Some of them are eating baklava, a few wear balaclavas, and you might even find one or two eating baklava while wearing a balaclava. I don’t want to deviate towards the sadists, because, after all, this is an article about poker.
