Lee Davy catches up with the elusive Tom “durrrr” Dwan during the Triton stop in Montenegro.

With almost an hour of chat on the cards Davy talks to Dwan about his poker journey, as well as digging into what makes Dwan tick.

At times it almost feels like a therapy session, as Davy asks broad reaching questions such as asking what does freedom mean to Dwan.

Remember the knitting mom who scored a $30,000 Platinum Pass package last year by outlasting a field of 21,000 players all while making supper, taking care of kids and knitting a sweater?

Well, she has won the Platinum Pass again.

Jennifer Carter, who lives in Canada secured yet another $30,000 package by qualifying online at PokerStars via the ongoing Mega Path promotion.

Jennifer will be heading to play the PSPC event for the second year in a row. This time the PSPC event will take place in Barcelona, Spain next year in August 2020.

“I don’t know how I did it,” she told PokerStarsBlog. “Because it’s me. I can’t beat $.01/.02 online! It’s unbelievable. I was literally baking muffins during this tournament, doing dishes. And then in Step 4 I was just sitting in my bed knitting. I don’t have a bankroll because I can’t even win a $1 tournament. But I can win the biggest ones. I just don’t get it.”

She is not the only player to have won the Platinum Pass twice.

Paulo Milani, who won his entry through the Brazilian Series of Poker (BSOP) last year became the first double Platinum Pass winner.

How did he win it? You guessed it right! Mega Path qualifiers.

“I found this Mega Path, a very affordable way to win,” Paulo told Alan Ferreira of SuperPoker. “It’s not easy, but you have to be persistent and thank goodness I’ve got it,” he said.

The Mega Path satellite system is currently the only route available online and we believe it is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to win a Platinum Pass.

The online qualifier starts with a $2 Sit & Go culminating in a final step 3: PSPC Qualifier tournament guaranteeing one Platinum Pass to the winner.

PokerStars is running this promotion in the majority of PokerStars’ markets including the Indian and European segregated rooms.

A week ago Daniel Negreanu thought he had won the WSOP Player of the Year accolade for the third time in his career.

However, there was an administrative error, which stripped the title from Negreanu and saw the POY title awarded it to the much loved Robert Campbell.

In an upset which has been gracefully handled by Negreanu, it hasn’t stopped the haters from accusing Negreanu that he knew the numbers were baked all along.

Negreanu has jumped on the podcast circuit to tell his side of the story as well as updating his Full Contact Poker blog.

Here we round up some of the analysis and interviews on the matter.

Negreanu is interviewed by PokerNews’ Sarah Herring as he breaks down his feelings on the matter.

Here is Negreanu on the DAT poker podcast:

You’re not going to believe this one.

Four days after congratulating Daniel Negreanu on his 3rd World Series of Poker Player of the Year title, the WSOP has acknowledged a mistake in its points calculations and stripped Kid Poker of his award.

Just days ago, the WSOP was congratulating Negreanu…not any more.

It appears the error was discovered by Alex Elenskiy of the Russian language poker news site, Gipsyteam.ru

Apparently, Negreanu was awarded an extra 213.1 points for cashing in $1,000 WSOP.com ONLINE No-Limit Hold’em Championship (Event #68) – an event in which he did not actually cash.

As a result, Negreanu dropped to third, giving Rob Campbell the title, with Shaun Deeb placing 2nd.

At the time of writing, the WSOP Twitter account has yet to address the issue, but Pocketfives received a statement from WSOP officials:

“We have confirmed an error was made in our results for WSOP Event #68, affecting places 32-46. As a result, Daniel Negreanu was given 213.1 points erroneously in this event. We deeply regret this error and its impact,” the statement read. “Recalculating our Player of the Year results has an impact to the standings. Robert Campbell finishes in 1st place in the now final results, with Negreanu dropping to third place. Again, we apologize profusely for the error in our calculations and the impact it has had.”

Matt Glantz added some context.

Daniel is still formulating his thoughts.
