OPEN FACE CHINESE POKER APP FROM TONYBET
2014-02-19
TonyBet has launched a free-to-download Open Face Chinese Poker mobile app on the Android platform in beta.
The app includes popular game variations such as: OFCP Classic, Pineapple, Turbo, and 13-card Regular.
Shortstack tables debut on the app allowing players to buy-in with Euro 50 for Euro1 per point along with access to a range of real-money sit and go tourneys.
"I can't help to brag about how great things are going for TonyBet Poker," said Tony G, poker pro and the rooms owner. "It's only been two months and we're counting players by thousands. That's simply amazing for the site which is still in beta, is not a part of any poker network and has only Open Face Chinese poker.
"I had a dream of making an online poker revolution with this and I can already see it coming true. And the great news is it's only a start."

2013-08-22
The publication High Stakes Data Base reports that Swedish online high stakes poker ace Viktor 'Isildur1' Blom took a serious spanking on the Full Tilt Poker site over the weekend, losing $273,000 in just ten minutes.
Playing heads up against Alex 'IReadYrSoul' Millar, on a $400/$800 NLHE table Blom was crushed in 40 rapid-fire hands, with one pot of $204,000 alone going to Millar.
The HSDB reports that things didn't improve for Blom, who went on to lose another $179,000 to 'KPR16' on the $2,000/$4,000 Omaha Eight or Better tables, ending the day down $236,000 after at one point accumulating a $400,000 bankroll.
LOCK POKER PROMOS PULLED FROM TOP POKER FORUM
2013-05-07
Pressure mounted this week on Lock Poker, a member of the Revolution poker network which has come under fire recently for slow-paying players and halting player-to-player fund transfers and subsequent cash-outs (see previous InfoPowa reports).
The influential twoplustwo poker forum stopped the company from pushing its offering due to the volume of player complaints, with forum owner Mason Malmuth taking an ethical approach which resulted in Lock agreeing to stop all promotions on 2+2 until the issues raised are resolved to the forum's satisfaction.
Lock Poker hosts a sponsored forum on 2+2 which includes company reps, and advertises extensively across the 2+2 site.
Malmuth reported that talks with the online poker operator had been "positive", although there were no results yet.
