Online Casino Offering WSOP Side Event Qualifiers
Pokerari has claimed to be the first online casino to offer seats to smaller events at the upcoming World Series of Poker event in Las Vegas. The Malta-licensed poker room is offering qualifiers for Events 49 to 53, in view of the fact that many players realize the small chance of actually winning a $12,000 main event qualifier that is traditionally offered by other sites.
A spokesman for Pokerari.com said: "Pokerari has stepped forward to fill the niche and has started offering online qualifiers for WSOP 2008 events 49, 51, 52 and 53." He continued by explaining: "The fact that these side events have a buy-in almost ten times smaller than the Main Event gives players reasonable odds for winning the package even if they enter the lowest, $1.10 satellite or one of two weekly freeroll-type satellites."

Green Joker Poker European Deep Stack Poker Championship
The Green Joker Poker European Deep Stack Poker Championship was won by Irishman Dara O'Kearney at the weekend topping a field of 140 to win the title and €47,200.
A strong lineup for the €1,500 main event, which started on Feb. 6, included Poker Million champion Joe Beevers, fellow Hendon Mobster Barny Boatman, Mickey Wernick, Michael Muldoon, Conor Tate, Rory Matthews, Arnaud Mattern, and EPT Baden and GUKPT champion Julian Thew. But it was largely local talent which cashed in the event, now in its third year.
Mike Lacey of Green Joker Poker said of Kearney's win, "With nearly half the chips in play a deal was brokered after Joe Beevers was eliminated by Gary C larke in sixth. Dara led from wire to wire - he was the chip leader after day one and day two - and is a very deserving champion.
"Thanks to the players who came along and made the event such a success, particularly the large contingent from overseas. The Championship continues to grow and it looks like next year we'll need a bigger venue!" The full results and payouts for the event were:
1. Dara O'Kearney €47,200
2. Gary Clarke €34,100
3. Fran Egan €28,600
4. Lloyd O'Farrell €26,700
5. Barry Hand €23,400
6. Joe Beevers €8000
7. Marc McDonnell €6000
8. Tony Baitson €4700
9. Robbie McCormack €3900
10. Peter Murphy €3200
11. Graham Clarkson €3200
12. Maurice Harmon €2500
13. Michael Trimby €2500
14. Don McKeown €2000
