In this week’s poker news round-up Lee Davy reminds you that Viktor Blom could be signing for Unibet; Mike Leah is the King of the World Poker Tour event in Fallsview, and the perfect poker politician lives in Australia.

Let’s start down under this week, with the greatest politician poker has ever had in its garrison.

Liberal Democrat Senator, David Leyonhjelm, joined the Australian Online Poker Alliance (AOPA) army this week. The pair is trying to avoid online poker being caught up in Minister’s plans to get a tighter grip on foreign operators offering gambling products in the country.

Leyonhjelm has penned an amendment to the Interactive Gambling Bill in the hope that online poker and blackjack can be exempt from the rules that will effectively ban them in the country.
