Reimer Koester, a talented poker player from Germany is celebrating after winning $27,500 at Titan Poker's $250,000 Guaranteed Prize tournament
Koester claimed second place and $27,500 in cash at the $250,000 Guaranteed Prize tournament on Sunday the 3rd of August. The skilled player had signed up at Titan Poker, the largest poker room on the iPoker Network, just four days previously on the 31st of July 2008.
However, he is understandably delighted with his extraordinary early success and is confident that this isn't a case of 'beginners luck'.
He said: "I'm very happy that I did well in my very first tournament at Titan Poker. The tournament went smoothly and was a lot of fun - from the very start I managed to play well. Next time I'll try for first place!!"
After four days as a Titan Poker player, he opted for the popular poker room's weekly $250,000 guaranteed to be his first online tournament - and astounded everybody when he finished second place and won $27,500. The Titan Poker newcomer competed against nearly 2,000 players in this tournament for seven and a half hours, and was even leading with 4H KD as it got to the last hand. Unfortunately for Reimer, an unlucky turn on the flop ensured a pair of Sixes and victory for a rival player and second place for him.
Titan Poker stages the $250,000 Guaranteed every Sunday night. Players can buy-in directly for $200 + $15 or they can win their seat at ongoing satellite tournaments. The $250,000 Guaranteed is just one of the many guaranteed prize tournaments regularly staged at Titan Poker.

V0id Case Against Pokerstars – Dropped

Natalie Teltscher, who is the sister of well-known pro poker player Mark Teltscher, will not be seeing any of the $1.2+ million that was won on her PokerStars account in the 2007 World Championship of Online Poker last fall.
Natalie Teltscher was Disqualified after 2007 WCOOP Main Event Victory when it was rumored Natalie, who owned the account TheV0id, had breached tournament rules by letting someone else play her account for the entirety of the WCOOP main event and because that
Teltscher filed a complaint in the Isle of Man courts after PokerStars disqualified her account’s victory in the Online Poker event, for which she was awarded more than $1.2 million (after the players agreed to a deal) but when faced with the evidence PokerStars collected proving that she was not the person playing under the username registered to her name (TheV0id), she eventually admitted she hadn't played. According to PokerStars, Teltscher also agreed to pay a sum of PokerStars’ legal fees.

PokerStars released the following Statement to the Press:


“PokerStars is pleased to announce that Natalie Teltscher has recently withdrawn her claim in the Isle of Man Courts against PokerStars. Furthermore, in discontinuing her claim, she has agreed to contribute a sum towards the legal costs incurred by PokerStars in this matter.

Ms Teltscher brought her claim against PokerStars because she was disqualified from first place of the 2007 WCOOP Main Event after PokerStars internal investigations demonstrated beyond doubt that she had not played on the account. On her disqualification all other players were moved one place higher in the prize table and the money confiscated from her account, TheV0id, was redistributed in full, according to the amended tournament placings.

Ms Teltscher initially claimed that she had played the account. However, when faced with the results from PokerStars’ investigation she eventually admitted she hadn’t played.

The decision of Ms Teltscher to withdraw her claim fully vindicates PokerStars’ decision to disqualify her from the tournament and subsequently defend the claim, actions which were taken in order to protect the integrity of the games on offer at PokerStars.

PokerStars is the largest poker site in the world and also considered to be one of the most secure. The 2008 WCOOP is looming and the prize pools are almost guaranteed to be some of the biggest ever offered online

UIGEA clarification act Supported by RGA

The RGA (Remote Gambling Association) is hopeful that the new bill will allow currently exiled online poker rooms like PartyPoker, Titan Poker and Pacific Poker back into the U.S. market. The Remote Gambling Association announced on Friday it would be supporting the bill on the basis that it will target online sports books and online sports betting only but not online poker. The bill titled H.R. 6663 officially known as the Unlawful Internet Enforcement Clarification and Implementation Act (UIGEACIA) was introduced to congress by Pete Sessions last week and will attempt to define what falls under the scope “unlawful internet gambling”.
"We took our case directly to U.S. legislators who have heard our message, understood the inequity of the Department of Justices' stance and appreciated both the unfairness in their enforcement policy and the risk to U.S. priority interests and its reputation if the policy was pursued further," said Chief executive of the RGA Clive Hawkswood. "This could be a major step in demonstrating that the rule of the law and integrity of the WTO are still important in Washington.
In March 2008 the RGA requested the European Union Commission investigate U.S. online gambling practices on the grounds they are discriminatory against European operators. However before one becomes too hopeful it is unlikely the bill will be passed anytime soon as congress has disbanded for a summer break and whilst it will return in September it's doubtful much will get passed in the run up to the presidential election.
The Poker Player's Alliance has decided not to endorse the bill. According to a story with the Las Vegas Review Journal the PPA has an issue with the "confusing language”. The bill says the original UIGEA has made internet poker is an unlawful activity that, in the future, will need special protection. Although that sounds good to many people the PPA takes issue with poker ever being labeled as illegal. If the Alliance were to support the bill it would be like admitting that poker is illegal.
