Lee Davy brings you another shot of poker news, including: Caesars and Amaya falling in love; the World Series of Poker serenading the Italians; Dusk till Dawn jumping into bed with partypoker, and much more.

It’s been a strange old week for the poker community.

Hearts have fluttered. Hearts have broken. Fortunately, for you, we haven’t missed a beat.

Last week, we told you that Pala Interactive CEO, Jim Ryan, believed that the Restoration of America’s Wire Act (RAWA) had a good shot of passing. That belief strengthened this week, after Nolan Dalla posed the question: “Could American Online Poker be Holding the Losing Hand?”

“{Sheldon} Adelson’s organization, the Coalition to Stop Internet Gambling, is steadily winning over the hearts and minds of our elected officials in Washington.” Dalla wrote before continuing, “They are outspending, out maneuvering, outthinking and outworking the opposition.”

We are a disjointed bunch. A whole lot of people, looking at other people, hoping and praying that they will do something to bring back online poker to the USA.

That approach doesn’t cut the mustard.
