*** IMPORTANT ***

To qualify for the freeroll, you need to have a registered account on the PokerFraudAlert forum dated 2013 or earlier.

You also must be in "good standing" here to qualify for the free money, meaning that your account cannot be banned or suspended.

If you are a lurker and still want to play, you must PM me or e-mail me beforehand and explain how long you've been listening/lurking, and tell me some of your favorite anecdotes from the forum (either here or DD) or the radio show. If you fail to do this before the tournament, or if you send me some generic bullshit like, "I think the show is funny. I like the show", you will NOT qualify for the freeroll, and your prize will be given to the next qualifying finisher. If you were an old-school regular user from NWP/DD who I remember, you will automatically qualify even if you weren't registered by 6/1/2013.

Alternately, you can donate a minimum of $10 to the freeroll, and you can also qualify for this and all other future freerolls by doing so.

You will also automatically qualify if I remember you from NWP/DD, provided you are not banned from this site.

I am doing this in order to prevent freeroll-hunting leeches from using our site for our freeroll money and then disappearing.

Anyone who does NOT qualify for prizes will be effectively taken out of the prizepool, and everyone will move up a notch regarding cashing.

Suicide King call in.

[Dan Druff]

In case you missed it above, show will start at 8pm PDT tonight, due to unexpected prior obligations of both myself and Brandon.

But it will probably run a long time again, so be ready.

[hotshott74]

I cashed for $10 and donated it a couple of weeks ago, don't think you used it yet... http://pokerfraudalert.com/forum/sho...l=1#post368147

[ThisGuyisWhat]

I'll be listening, Druff

[SrslySirius]

Is there some sort of history with you and Hoke?

[Dan Druff]

Is there some sort of history with you and Hoke?

No. Don't know him. We just got fascinated with him recently.

We'll give an update tonight on the show regarding what happened when Brandon met him.

[Dan Druff]

Flipper, I shaved $0.50 off your $37 donation so we could have a perfect $63 for the freeroll 2 weeks ago.

That's how you're donating 50 cents this week.

[splitthis]

You forgot to add the 6 bucks I won last week in knockout.

[smithbk]

Is there some sort of history with you and Hoke?

Do you even listen?

This goes back to Karina Jett blasting Micon on Hoke's show. Todd was not familiar with his work, surprised he had his own "radio" show. Todd doesn't have to resort to listening to the PokerNews Podcast to get his WSOP fix, so he missed Mark cohabitating with them last year. Maybe he should listen, though. Jason Somerville killed it on the PNPod last year.

[Dan Druff]

You forgot to add the 6 bucks I won last week in knockout.

That and others are being held over til next week.

[cmoney]

In honor of Brandon co-hosting show, and generally greatness of Dan Druff and the radio show, I am donating 100 to the free roll tonight

It is at Druff's discretion to use it tonight or another time.

shipping usual way

[DaGreek23]

Can you roll over the $25 from my second place last week to the freeroll? Thanks Druff.

[Forum Wars]

Paul Phua's case dismissed and most likely COMPLETELY shut down by the courts today, including getting his and his poker playing friends' (Phil Ivey and Andrew Robl who each put up 1 milly + for Phua, reportedly) collateral back.

Wonder what goodies Phua has in play for these two...



http://www.cardplayer.com/poker-news...ayer-paul-phua

"Although the Government has thus far refused to admit it (despite this Court’s request that it take a clear position), this case is not going forward to trial on June 15. Retaining the collateral securing Defendant’s bail will cause significant inconvenience and economic harm. Potentially for years, the individuals who posted bail for Defendant will be without those funds. During that time, Defendant’s plane will lose material value and it will be unavailable to him to use for his business. In these circumstances, there is no basis to refuse the return of the collateral."

[Dan Druff]

Sorry.

Show will start at 9:15 now.

Fail at Rio beyond our control.
