And in case youre wondering, Party Poker is still running their rake free poker tournaments.

If the name Ryan Lenaghan doesnt immediately come to mind when you imagine a list of big name poker pros, youre not alone. Until little over a week ago, Legaghan was a complete unknown in the professional poker circuit. Fast-forward to Day 7 of the World Series of Poker Main Event, and a lot has changed. The native of New Orleans managed to hit the 15 million chip mark before any other player, and hes holding his own in a field of 30 remaining contenders.

In an interview with PokerListings, Lenaghan described the tournament so far as both surreal and so much fun, saying that hell be happy with any result at this point, but that hes firmly determined to make the final table.

Q. Nice reply. So, Dismuke Dahlstrom, do you agree with this statement A. Absolutely not, Nogowski Hiney. Look, following that way of thinking may sound great to the people of Philadelphia, but theyll be missing the pointonline casinos legal issues are murky, and therefore we must pass law and regulate it accordingly.

I think we all have learned tremendously from our talks, and Im sure the people of Philadelphia are grateful for your time.
