Full Tilt Poker announced today that noted poker writer Jay Greenspan will be providing daily on-site coverage at the World Series of Poker.

Press Release

Los Angeles, CA (FV Newswire) - Full Tilt Poker, one of the fastest growing online poker sites, announced today that noted poker writer Jay Greenspan will be providing daily on-site coverage at the World Series of Poker. Greenspan will be covering the stories at the final table of all 40 World Series of Poker Tournaments, which will appear daily on www.fulltiltpoker.com.

In 2003, Greenspan abandoned his career as a technology writer so that he could dedicate himself to his true passion: poker. After creating a website that focused on the stories behind the game, Greenspan was recruited to write for and edit ALL IN magazine, a popular poker publication. A book deal soon followed; a chronicle of his cross-country poker odyssey will be published next year.

Unlike traditional poker tournament reporters, Greenspan goes beyond the big bets and bluffs to tell the story behind the poker faces competing for poker's biggest prizes.

There's a narrative in poker, an ebb and flow to the game, said Greenspan. I want to capture the story behind the tournamentnot only the drama of the game, but also the struggle that each player experienced to get to the final table.

Greenspan will have the inside scoop on some of the biggest names in this year's World Series of Poker, thanks to constant interaction with Team Full Tilt. Team Full Tilt is a select group of the world's finest professional poker players, including Chris Jesus Ferguson, Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer, Erick Lindgren, Erik Seidel, Andy Bloch, Phil Gordon, Clonie Gowen, John Juanda, Jennifer Harman and others expected to perform well in the World Series of Poker.

Full Tilt Poker's Layne Flack Takes Runner-Up Prize in Bid for 6th World Series of Poker Victory

Press Release

Layne Flack, enigmatic poker superstar and representative for online poker site fulltiltpoker.com, defeated all but one player in the third largest field in any World Series of Poker Event. Flack took home $185,855 for second place in the second open World Series of Poker event of 2005.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) -- In the second open event of the World Series of Poker, a $1,500 Pot Limit tournament, Full Tilt Poker pro Layne Flack defeated 1,069 players, taking home $185,855 for second place. Flack, who earned the nickname "Back to Back" Flack for winning two consecutive World Series of Poker tournaments in 2002, could not pull out the victory in his attempt at a 6th World Series of Poker bracelet. The bracelet was won by Thom Werthmann, who took home $369,535 for his first tournament victory.

Flack, who was born in South Dakota and dealt poker in Montana, dominated the field for most of the tournament, holding a huge chip lead over his nearest competitor throughout. When the tournament finally came down to two players, Flack had a huge lead, holding 1,200,000 chips to Werthmann's 200,000. Werthmann battled his way back to even, and on the final hand of the tournament, both players got all their chips in the middle when Flack's hand was a 70% favorite. But luck was with Werthmann, and Flack's bid for his 6th World Series of Poker victory fell one hand short.

Flack represents one of the fastest growing online poker sites, www.fulltiltpoker.com, and spends several hours a week online helping amateur players learn the game by sharing his poker knowledge through real-time chats at the virtual tables. Along with Flack, 26 other top poker professionals play exclusively at www.fulltiltpoker.com, where they have helped to create the best possible atmosphere for players who want to improve their games.

"Team Full Tilt" is a select group of the world's finest professional poker players, including Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer, Erick Lindgren, Erik Seidel, Andy Bloch, Phil Gordon (Co-host, Celebrity Poker Showdown), Clonie Gowen, John Juanda, Jennifer Harman and others. Full Tilt Poker offers players the unique opportunity to play, chat, and learn with the best in the game. With Cunningham's victory, the 27 professional players who play at www.fulltiltpoker.com now have a total of 36 World Series of Poker bracelets, and are looking to add several more to their collection in the remaining 39 events over the next 5 weeks.

"Layne Flack's dominating performance bodes well for his chances in later events. Layne is known to put together legendary hot streaks. Finishing second in a field of over 1,000 players is a great way to get the WSOP started," said Team Full Tilt member Howard Lederer.

Poker Expert Phil Gordon to Kick in with Daily Podcast from 2005 World Series of Poker

Tuesday, June 7th, 2005

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 7, 2005--Beginning this week (6/6/05), poker fans will be able to connect to the high-stakes excitement of the 2005 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas by subscribing, free of charge, to top pro and commentator Phil Gordon's daily podcast from this legendary event. Both iPod owners and other interested digital downloaders can subscribe to Phil's reports by logging onto www.expertinsight.com.

A professional poker player who has won well in excess of $1.3 million in tournament play, expert analyst, and co-host of TV's "Celebrity Poker Showdown," Gordon will provide fans with a table-eye view of the hottest action on the floor. He will break down the thought process, strategy, and twists and turns as they unfold, in the quest to lay down a winning hand in poker's premiere event -- and stay alive in the quest to walk away with an estimated $10 million in cash and the title of World Series of Poker Champion.

Gordon's journal-style Web posting will be transmitted daily throughout the tournament as he takes listeners on a journey all the way to the Final Table on July 15th. Mixed into Phil's early commentary are his interviews with world-class poker pros and celebrities such as Daniel Negreanu, Layne Flack, Erick Lindgren, Annie Duke, and James Woods. Gordon believes that podcasting, which combines the freedom of expression of blogging with XML-based audio downloading technology, is the perfect venue for providing poker fans with a sense of context, excitement and insight on breaking news from the tournament.

Gordon has also taken a progressive approach to instructional videos with the release of his DVD, "Final Table Poker With Phil Gordon" (more information available at www.expertinsight.com). Rather than a traditional tutorial, Gordon places viewers at the final table of a high-stakes tournament and inside the mind of a professional as he breaks down how winning decisions are made in tournament play.

Gordon's definitive strategy guide to No Limit Hold'em, The Little Green Book of No-Limit Hold'em (Simon Spotlight Entertainment), is also scheduled for release October 4, 2005.

Harrah's Entertainment and Caesars Entertainment Announce Expected Closing Date and Election Deadline

Press Release

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Harrah's Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:HET) and Caesars Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:CZR) confirmed that Harrah's expects to close its acquisition of Caesars on Monday, June 13. As a result, Harrah's and Caesars have set 5:00 p.m., Pacific Daylight Time, Friday, June 10, as the deadline for receipt of election forms/letters of transmittal from Caesars stockholders who wish to elect to receive shares of Harrah's common stock in the merger.

The anticipated closing date is conditioned upon satisfaction of the terms of the merger agreement entered into by Harrah's and Caesars on July 14, 2004. Although there are matters to be completed for the regulatory hearings in Nevada to be held, Harrah's and Caesars expect that the Nevada Gaming Control Board and the Nevada Gaming Commission each will consider the transaction on June 10.

If the closing date is changed, Harrah's and Caesars will issue another press release with a revised expected election deadline and closing date.

Caesars stockholders wishing to make an election to receive 0.3247 shares of Harrah's common stock for each share of Caesars common stock owned should send a properly completed and signed election form/letter of transmittal, together with the appropriate stock certificates or properly completed notices of guaranteed delivery, to The Bank of New York, the exchange agent, so that they are received by 5:00 p.m., Pacific Daylight Time, on Friday, June 10, the election deadline. Election of Harrah's common stock is subject to proration, as more fully described in the joint proxy/prospectus of Harrah's and Caesars dated January 24, 2005. Caesars stockholders who choose not to return an election form/letter of transmittal or who do not properly deliver such documentation to The Bank of New York (at the address specified in the election form/letter of transmittal) prior to the election deadline will forfeit the right to elect to receive shares of Harrah's common stock in the merger. Such non-electing stockholders will be entitled to receive $17.75 in cash for each share of Caesars common stock owned, subject to proration as described in the joint proxy/prospectus. As a result of proration, in many cases, the form of merger consideration actually received by a Caesars stockholder will differ from the form of consideration that the Caesars stockholder elects or is deemed to have elected to receive.

It is anticipated that Caesars common stock will not be traded on the New York Stock Exchange after June 13, 2005.

A more complete description of the merger consideration and adjustment and proration mechanisms is contained in the election materials and the joint proxy statement/prospectus mailed to Caesars stockholders, both of which Caesars stockholders are urged to read carefully. Caesars stockholders that have questions about the election process may call The Bank of New York at (800) 507-9357 (toll free). Caesars stockholders may call Innisfree M&A Incorporated at (877) 750-5837 (toll free) for additional copies of the election form/letter of transmittal and instructions.
