If you missed the face off between Eugene Katchalov of the LA Sunset and San Francisco Rush Team Manager Faraz Jaka this week, in what was Week 3 of the Global Poker League – you can catch up on all the action here.

Both teams definitely have their work cut out for them as The New York Rounders are storming the standings.

6 months on from announcing he was going to train for a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA ) fight, poker pro & La Sunset GPL Team Member Olivier Busquet will be fighting Mexican poker pro JC Alvarado tonight, in Vegas.

The fight will be held at Syndicate MMA in Las Vegas at 6pm local time. Tickets will be sold for $20 at the door and all proceeds will go towards One Drop — a charity that helps to tackle the water crises on a global level.

For those of you who can’t make it to Vegas to see the fight live, a live stream has been set up, which you can watch here, so that no one misses out on the action:

Terrence Chan, another poker pro with a track record of MMA fighting, has been working on a special all-access audio documentary about the lead-up to tonight’s fight. Terrance is asking for donations to make this audio story the best it can be. You can help out with your donation. Find out how here

You can also read Busquet’s humbling story about what motivated him to take on this extraordinary challenge and how he got to where he is today over on his blog.

Even Daniel Negreanu seems to be getting excited ahead of tonight’s fight…

Head over to his twitter account @RealKidPoker to place your vote.

We are rooting for you Olivier!

One of the more recent petitions on social movement site, Change.org, calls for the World Series of Poker to eliminate rake on the Main Event..

The petition, if it reaches 100 signatures will be delivered to World Series of Poker head honchos: VP and Tournament Director, Jack Effel; Executive Director, World Series of Poker / Senior VP, Caesars Interactive Ty Stewart and VP of Corporate Communications, World Series of Poker, Seth Palansky. Though we have a sneaking suspicion they may already be aware of its existence.

It calls for “a revenue-sharing program to supplement the prize pools for the top WSOP poker tournaments with part of the revenue generated from TV contracts, sponsorships, licensing and other sources derived from the value of the WSOP brand.” We kinda doubt that will be well received by Caesars.

So far the petition has 72 signatures and is nearly 3/4 of the way to ending up at WSOP HQ.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Change.org – it is a great platform that enables anyone, anywhere to start a petition, to entice change on a local or global level. And this petition is no different, if perhaps a little over ambitious.
