The Mid States Poker Tour break their attendance record after 1,964 players enter their Venetian event prompting Lee Davy to ponder why people play in the lair of the enemy in the first place?

It’s my wedding anniversary on Friday. We will celebrate it where it all began, in Las Vegas. I welcome advice on the best eateries in town. I only have one golden rule: I will not eat in an establishment owned by Sheldon Adelson.

Adelson called online poker a ‘cancer waiting to happen.’ He promised to spend whatever it took to shut online poker down. He is currently the 18th richest man in the world, with an estimated fortune of $31.4 billion. He took that money from the world’s gamblers. He is a hypocrite as well as a threat to our industry.

This is why I won’t set foot in a Sheldon Adelson owned property. If I do, and I spend some money, then my money will be used to create bills like the Restoration Of America’s Wire Act (RAWA). Bills designed to prevent people from gambling online. Bills designed to stop me working.
