Kevin\’s Not-So-InstaPoker

I probably should have posted this first, but since Dan twisted my arm encouraged me to do some posting here on Pokerati while he\’s busy with the WSOP, I figured I\’ll give it a shot.

On the heels of UB\’s press release (found below): The CBC radio show Search Engine did a report on the Mohawk Internet Technologies server farm on the Kahnawake reservation. Not surprisingly, it took quite a bit of time and effort to be allowed in.

Now for some WSOP stuff:

The poker room opened yesterday, and here\’s a soft opening report as well as some pictures from LasVegasVegas\’ own FlipChip.

Taking place right now is the $500 WPA Poker super-satellite and seminar with Mike Caro.

For those hoping to get a seat at Saturday/Sunday\’s $1,500 NL event, there\’s rumors that the event will be capped at 4,000. Brasilia (which has 65 tables) is being used for other purposes until June 12, which would explain why you\’re not seeing as many $1,500 events until after June 14.

ESPN.com\’s
poker staff held their 3rd annual WSOP Fantasy draft and the crew over at Wicked Chops Poker attempted to live blog it. Gary Wise provides a preview with his 2008 WSOP storylines.

More to come later tonight (if I\’ve figured all this stuff out).
