Listening on the web with my wireless headset. Is Elky speaking in English? I can barely understand a word.

I'd say ElkY speaks English better than most Americans. It's just shrouded in that thick French accent.

Oh, and Barry's segment on Thuy Doan is heartbreaking. Thanks for including him on this show -- he's one person who can truly pay tribute to her.

Hopefully 'HotKarlMC' makes a deep run somewhere along the way.

Has anyone ever tried to calculate the value that Rush Poker was to FTP, in dollars?

I believe all Boss Media skins pulled out of Canada last year.

Boss Media leases their obsolete platform to Quebec's EspaceJeux and British Colombia's Play Now. I believe Boss Media withdrawing from Canada was required to win the contract.

The EPL Pro-Am had 97 entrants between the two day one's, which is the same number of starters that the main event ended up having.

The eve of Day 1A, everyone on the Las Vegas Advisor mailling list received this offer:

GET THE PRO TREATMENT!

Play Epic Poker's $1500 Pro/Am--get a pro swag bag and $100 in rake back!

Print this email out, present it upon registration into Epic Poker's $1,500 Pro/Am (or show us this email on your smartphone) and not only will you have a chance at one of nine coveted seats in the Epic Poker League $20,000 Main Event, we'll give you the pro treatment. You'll get the same pro swag bag our Epic Poker League Members get and $100 prepaid Visa card as soon as you have started play in the event!

Pro/Am September 2 - 5
Buy-in: $1500
....
*Offer not valid for Epic Poker League members.

Due to the offer being made at the last minute, one wonders if it is because they knew that they would be short on players. Besides conflicting with the WCOOP and WPT Paris, being over the holiday weekend probably hurt them as well. The 1st Pro-Am drew almost the double, 190 players.
