We understand that sometimes you forget to check it out, but you can always sign up for the Nightly Turbo newsletter below and get it in your inbox.

It's All Greek to Us

On Thursday, PokerStars.net announced a new stop to the eighth season of the European Poker Tour. From Nov. 15 through 20, the EPT will be stopping at Club Hotel Casino Loutraki in Greece.

“This is great news that the EPT will visit Greece. I’m truly excited to have such a prestigious tournament taking place in my country. Fellow Greek players have an opportunity to compete in a high calibre tournament with large numbers, and players visiting Greece will enjoy the beautiful Greek landmarks and famous hospitality," said Greek pro George "gkap13" Kapalas.

The five star beach resort will host the EPT's debut in Greece with a five-day €4,400 Main Event and a myriad of side events. This EPT stop was planned after two successful PokerStars sponsored Greek Poker Cup events were held earlier this year.

“We are very happy to extend our strategic partnership with PokerStars.net, after two very successful Greek Poker Cup tournaments. The EPT’s debut in Greece is a very exciting development for Loutraki as a top tourist destination, for our casino, and for Greek poker in general," said CHCL general manager Alexandros Doukas.

Iglesias and Banzer Depart

If you're a Royal Flush Girl fan, specifically Melanie Iglesias and Michelle Banzer, you might want to sit down for this. On Monday night, both Iglesias and Banzer announced they were leaving the World Poker Tour.

Iglesias was the first to make the announcement via Twitter:

MelanieIglesias Melanie Iglesias I have officially resigned from the World Poker Tour. No questions at the moment, please. Thank you. August 29 2011

Shortly thereafter, Banzer also announced her resignation:

MichelleBanzer Michelle Banzer After careful consideration I've come to a decision to officially resign from the World Poker Tour. It's been an eventful run. All the best August 29 2011

The ladies received plenty of comments regarding their departure, most of their fans saying they would cease watching the WPT broadcasts. Hello guys, we know these two ladies are awesome, but you're forgetting the rest of the RFGs.

No reasons were given, Iglesias only tweeted this response to one of her followers:

MelanieIglesias Melanie Iglesias @yubintherapist The 2 new girls are nice! Love them! But WPT & I had our differences along with other things I'm not allowed to speak on. =( August 29 2011

As for a statement from the World Poker Tour, it's kind of what we expected, "Melanie and Michelle were both interested in pursuing other opportunities. We thank them for their hard work during Season IX and wish them the best in their future endeavors."

Free Gold

On Friday, Jamie Gold announced the launch of his online poker site, FreeGoldPoker.com. The 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event champion opened the free poker site on the ZEN Entertainment Network.

"This is an amazing opportunity for me to create a fun, accessible and unique experience for the poker community. As importantly, I will be able to continue to accomplish meaningful, vital and life-changing charitable goals with the additional support and commitment of the ZEN platform," Gold said in the press release. "It will also provide my dedicated partners a platform beyond anything I could have imagined as we are now able to create targeted demographic promotions."

The site boasts $100,000 in prize pools per month. According to Gold's agent, Randy Kasper, endorsement deals and charity partnerships will be announced in the future and will be integrated into the events on the free poker site.

"After Black Friday and all the negativity surrounding online poker, I asked myself what I could do to help our community enjoy playing a game they love legally while at the same time elevate awareness about the fantastic brands and amazing charitable opportunities I come into contact with on a daily basis. Creating FreeGoldPoker.com was the clear answer," Gold said.

Bwin.party Partner

According to eGaming Review, bwin.party will announce its U.S. strategic partners by the end of the year.

Bwin.party CEO Jim Ryan spoke with eGaming Review and said, “You will definitely hear from us in the second half." Ryan also hinted that the partner the company was finalizing agreements with on the state and federal levels could be the same.

“The structure of the deals we are likely to do will be joint venture partnerships. We will be exploiting our brands, and our JV partner will be exploiting their brands. A poker network that would have Party, WPT, Poker Room, and then the brands of our partners," said Ryan.

EGaming Review reports that bwin.party has been "strongly linked with providing a poker platform in a regulated U.S. market for four land-based casino groups with properties in Atlantic City, including Boyd Gaming."

But before it would be able to supply a network for a U.S. casino group, eGaming Review says bwin.party would have to complete sustainability reviews on the state and federal levels.

“We will have to go through suitability review, assuming there is a federal bill, based on whatever legal construct they come up with. At a state and a federal level, we will have to go through suitability," Ryan said.

#WhenWillItEnd

The latest installment of ESPN's The Nuts is back. The monthly blog post ranks the best players in poker at the moment. The Panel includes PokerNews' Editor-in-Chief Matthew Parvis, PokerNews' Tournament Reporting Manager Don Peters, ESPN's Andrew Feldman, Gary Wise, and Bernard Lee, among others.

Jason Mercier has a stranglehold on the top spot. "I see no way of Jason Mercier falling out of the top spot in the next year. His results speak for themselves, and he is clearly the best tournament poker player in the world," Parvis said.

Erik Seidel is still sitting pretty in second place, but the player in third place made the biggest jump of the month. Eugene Katchalov vaulted from sixth to third, no doubt because of his eighth-place finish in the Epic Poker League and his final-table appearance at the European Poker Tour Barcelona.

Vanessa Selbst finds her way in the top 10 again, in eighth place. "It was a mistake she wasn't on this list a month ago and thanks to two cashes, Selbst is back where she belongs," said Feldman. Phil Ivey is still hanging on in the top 10 in ninth place, even though he hasn't played in months and Daniel Negreanu rounds out the top 10.

If you want to find out what the middle of the list looks like or who bubbled, you'll have to head on over to ESPN.com.

Lock Poker Explains

PocketFives.com is reporting that Lock Poker issued a statement explaining the Malta Lotteries and Gaming Authorities claim that it did not issue a license to Lock Poker. The controversy surrounds the LGA logo on LockPoker.eu. As we told you earlier this week, the LGA said, "The Lotteries and Gaming Authority (the ‘Authority') would like to inform the public that the website http://lockpoker.eu/ has no connection whatsoever with the Authority and therefore any mention of the Authority or license issued by the Authority on the mentioned website is false and misleading."

Lock Poker told PocketFives.com that because the Merge Gaming Network received "a letter of intent for a Class 4 license from the LGA" that "Merge allowed its licensees, including Lock Poker, to display the LGA logo on their site once they had opted into the agreement and updated their Terms and Conditions on site.”

According to PocketFives.com, Lock Poker is working to resolve the issue shortly. “Merge Gaming Malta Ltd. is now working with their key official in Malta to resolve issues that have arisen in the past two days. Merge Gaming Malta Ltd. can also confirm that Lock has in fact provided all required documentation to Merge Gaming Malta Ltd. in relation to this process."

Trying to Get Out

EGaming Review reported Friday that lawyers Jeff Ifrah and David Deitch are attempting to withdraw "as attorneys of record" from an ongoing class action lawsuit involving Team Full Tilt players. Ifrah and Deitch represent the eight defendants from Team Full Tilt.

“[C]ontinued representation of Defendants would create unreasonable difficulty for us to carry out our employment effectively and would result in an unreasonable financial burden to our law firm," stated the motion.

Ifrah and Deitch also filed a motion to dismiss the defendants and companies affiliated with Full Tilt from the class action lawsuit earlier this month, but according to eGaming Review the motion has not yet been acted on.

While Ifrah is seeking withdrawal from the class action lawsuit, he will continue to represent Full Tilt Poker, as well as its CEO Ray Bitar.

Lock Not Licensed by LGA

If you were to scroll to the bottom of the LockPoker.eu website, you would see a few logos that coincide with the regulating bodies for which the online poker site is licensed. One, however, is claiming Lock Poker is not licensed by them.

The Lotteries and Gaming Authority of Malta released a statement recently about its logo appearing on Lock Poker's site:

"The Lotteries and Gaming Authority (the ‘Authority') would like to inform the public that the website http://lockpoker.eu/ has no connection whatsoever with the Authority and therefore any mention of the Authority or license issued by the Authority on the mentioned website is false and misleading.

The Authority advises the public to play responsibly with companies licensed by jurisdictions that have sound remote gaming regulations."

While Lock Poker isn't regulated by LGA, its network, Merge Gaming, is. The network has a Class 4 operating license under the LGA and is also licensed under the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. Lock Poker is also licensed under the Kahnawake, as well as Curaçao eGaming.

Read LGA's statement at LGA.org.

Phil Hellmuth is at the feature table for the broadcast, so of course you know there will be plenty of coverage of the Poker Brat. ESPN even ventured out to Palo Alto, California, to catch up with Hellmuth at home.

"People always tell me it's more difficult for me to win because the amateurs want to say I busted Phil Hellmuth, or I played a pot against Phil. They want to tell their grandchildren that stuff," said Hellmuth in the teaser.

Epic Poker Partners with Getty

On Tuesday, the Epic Poker League announced an exclusive partnership with Getty Images. This is Getty Images' first foray into poker.

“We are delighted to announce this partnership with Epic Poker League,” said Peter Orlowsky, vice president of business development at Getty Images. “This new professional poker league features the best live tournament players in the world and our photographers will be capturing all the excitement and drama at Palms Casino Resort.
