ChanPoker folds
August 19, 2008
Chanpoker has shutdown its operations. Is this the sign of the times ? Has poker lost its thunder ? Is the economy to blame ? I dont think so, its just an operation that couldnt sustain.
Check out their webpage for more details - http://www.chanpoker.com/closing/
Have no fear though for those who have accounts:
If you have a cash balance with us rest assured that all withdrawal requests will be honored and promptly processed. To facilitate timely withdrawals, limits for certain withdrawal methods have been increased. We will make every effort to accept withdrawal requests through our website for as long as necessary however we strongly advise submitting your request as soon as possible. To initiate a withdrawal now please follow this link to go to your account. Please note that once final withdrawals are processed your account will be automatically closed, no further action is necessary.
Looks like they are looking to transfer player accounts to another company. Im not sure what their user base is or how much revenue they were generating through poker rooms. I’d be intersted in seeing who picks their players up. Im pretty sure ChanPoker made money, how can you not cash in on the poker business.

High Heels Poker Tour the next big thing
August 18, 2008
I just heard about the High Heels Poker Tour - HHPT.
Here is their mission statement from their homepage:
Our Mission at the HHPT is to empower women who want to become champions in the growing world of poker. The HHPT wants to provide the best competitive environment where women can explore, develop, and continue growing and learning top strategies and their “A” game. Opportunities and Recognition are what the HHPT is all about.
Could this be the next craze in Poker ? It was founded by Lauren Failla. Women have been playing a big part in poker over the last couple of years. With movie starts such as Jennifer Tilly and Shannon Elizabeth making it more prominent. This year’s tournament we saw quit a few women make it to the final tables but not the final table. There is definitely an audience for women in poker, im tired of see those dudes in the jump suits on TV. Bring more women to the tables ! Looking at their poker tournament schedule it looks pretty strong.
Check out web page:
High Heels of Poker Tour
Kind of a clever name I must say as opposed to a name like Woman of Poker (WOP) ! HHTP is much cooler.
