The move is even more shocking with the recent surge of Russian talent in the poker world.  The WSOP was littered with Russian poker players that had absolutely dominated performances.  If these players cannot practice their trade in their homeland, this is even more money that will be stripped out of the economy.

The EPT has already pushed the panic button as they have been jockeying around a tournament that was to be played there later in the season and have now moved it altogether. The Moscow event has officially been cancelled and the replacement tournament will not be held in Kiev later in the season.

When Russia closed down all of its casinos earlier in the month, the bulk of them converted over to card clubs in order to be able to stay open.  At the time, poker was classified as a sport and did not fall under the laws that had forced all of the casinos to close their doors.  The new ruling changes all of that.  With one fell swoop, all of these businesses were forced to close their doors.

The kicker behind all of this is that gambling was supposed to have been zoned to four specific areas in the country would be allowed to go on.  The failure to designate these zones has both the general public and business owners up in arms over the move.  Russia itself is in a horrible state of economics right now and this is only going to add to the problem.

When you force 400,000 people out of work during troubling times, you are asking for anarchy to take place.  While using the word revolution may have been silly a few weeks ago, it may now take on a horrible sense of reality.  The move itself just makes no sense whatsoever and there does not seem to be an explanation forthcoming anytime in the near future.

All of this happens of course when the PPA has just finished its lobbying of Capital Hill in an effort to legalize poker sites in the United States.  You have to wonder if President Obama, with what some would consider socialist ways, will follow the Russian’s lead.  We are sure that this is not the last that we will hear about this.

Full Tilt will be running nonstop satellites to their entry tournaments where players will compete for the right for a spot on the show. If you have happened by the poker room lately, these freerolls fill up just about as quick as they are announced. If you choose not to play poker bingo, you can buy your way into one of the other tournaments with poker points and avoid the hundreds of people that are vying for one spot in the SNG tourneys.

The show is going to hit the air waves on August 1st at 9:00pm. Each player will have the opportunity to pick a door and then player the professional who is standing behind it. They can quit after each level or they can proceed and try to take down 3 pros in a row for the grand prize of $1,000,000! With the cast of professionals that Full Tilt can put out there, you would have to imagine the $1,000,000 is going to be pretty safe. Imagine facing off against the likes of Phil Ivey, Jennifer Harman and Chris Ferguson in three straight matches.

You would have to think that most of these players are going to try and run the gauntlet just to say that they did it. Being gamblers by nature that million dollar pot is going to be awfully hard to resist. Poker shows have been getting a little stale lately and the new format should put some life back into the TV craze of poker. We only have a few months to see what happens and only a few more weeks to win a spot on the first shows. Get over to Full Tilt and see if you can take down a piece of that $1,000,000!

While Scotty Nguyen was only in 4th place entering the day, he had to be a major concern for the 21 year old. Well, at least we thought he would be. Shannon Shorr did his dirty work for him with pocket tens. Nguyen had called a small raise by Azor and Shorr moved all in on the SB. Azor got out of the way, but Scotty could not fold his 66. The devil’s hand did not come through and Scotty was down to 400,000. It was only a matter of time at this point and Scotty got his money in with A4. He hit trips, but was outkicked by Harder and went to the rail.

Timoshenko continued to hit hand after hand and kept gathering chips. He started the day with almost half of the chips in play and after taking down AJ with a flop of A-10-4 (he hit the only other J on the river), he was well past that point and never looked back.

Shorr was the next to fall as he pushed with 7c6c and was called down by Timoshenko. Timoshenko showed 44 and once again, his luck held up as the board never paired or improved Shorr. It was now Azor’s turn to start knocking out players. He took out both Harder and Grospellier (who had now accumulated enough points for the WPT Player of the Year) and would be head’s up against the latest wonder child of poker.

Azor did not wait long to get his money in and hit the flop. However, once again luck took over and Timoshenko came out on top. Azor made a nice raise preflop and Timoshenko made a very aggressive push with As3c. Azor was behind with his Qc10d, but quickly moved ahead after a flop of QsJs7d. You could smell trouble when the Kc made the turn and almost sensed that the 21 year old Timoshenko was going to pull out yet another miracle river. The feeling ran true as a 10s was shown and he hit his straight.

For his efforts, Azor was handed a check of $1,446,265, a little more than half of the $2,149,960 that Timoshenko took down for winning the title. This is yet another name that we will now have to look out for once the WSOP starts. He was already wearing a Full Tilt coat at the Final Table and will probably look like a walking billboard during the WSOP. We now have another millionaire under the age of 25 that has been created by this wonderful game of poker.
