WPT Grand Prix Paris Kicks Off with High-Stakes Action
The World Poker Tour Grand Prix de Paris began on September 10, 2012, with 96 players paying a €7,500 entry fee. Notable players who may re-enter the tournament include Dan Smith, Vanessa Selbts, David Benyamine, and Michael Mizrachi. Leaders after the first day include Jacques Enjoubault, Antony Lellouche, and Basil Yaiche.
Day 1B of the tournament is set to bring even more action as players vie for the top spots. The tournament features a mix of experienced players and new faces, making for an exciting competition.

A report from Fitch Group suggests that online poker will not be legalized at the federal level in the remainder of 2012. The Republican Party's stance on prohibiting online gaming has contributed to the delay, and it remains to be seen what will happen in 2013.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype.
