Now that the WPBT update page has slipped off the main screen I wanted to remind people that they should keep checking that page for updates about the event. There’s a link to the page in the upper right hand navigation in case you forget.
So where are we at?
We’ve got a few pros coming and several other pros on the pending list.
Phil Gordon and Rafe Furst have made a special offer for people willing to become Expert Insight affiliates.
We’ve got over 80 people registered to play in the tournament.
We’re looking to Storm the Castle on the evening of the 10th after the tournament.
We’re attempting to Storm the ?? on the 9th with a some mixed games action (Razz, Omaha, etc).
A few pros have said they would love to hang with us at an after-party following the tournement.
Last, but certainly not least, I have a major announcement coming in a few days that will certainly spice things up a bit.
That’s it for now. I plan on making the “major announcement” on Nov 1st but I may let it slip before that if everything falls into place.

Hi, my name is Bill Rini and this is my poker blog. I've been blogging about poker and the poker industry since around 2003-ish. Like most people I started out playing poker as entertainment in home games whenever we wanted to sit around and smoke cigars, drink beer, and eat pizza, and needed a good excuse. I started playing online shortly after the first online card rooms opened and it wasn't long before I was playing 20, 30, or even 40 hours a week or more. One day I received a phone call about a program manager position at Tiltware which was the company that consulted to Full Tilt Poker on software development and marketing. After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.

Can you explain ’storming the castle’, for those of us that werent there..
“Storming the Castle” involves wheel spinning, prop betting, and buying into a $1-$3 limit game with $600+
Or playing poker at Excalibur.
It also involves tilting the locals like having the Hammer fill to quads to beat kings over sevens. Which also means don’t sit at the same table as CJ.
Why not? I’ll just flop quad kings when he’s all in with 9’s.
