Latest Combination - Online Poker And Live Betting
Top international players boasted by iSeries LIVE An interesting new venture, branded iSeries LIVE, that will combine interactive poker action and live betting, is attracting a growing number of international poker aces. The Dublin-based initiative is being supported by stars such as Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth, with the launch planned for April 5 2012. The new enterprise will feature live hole cards letting real-time viewers to bet on a number of scenarios including odds to win, last-longers, next elimination, winner of the next hand, and red/black flops. Besides from top prize for the 10-person, Euro 10,000 buy-in inaugural tournament in Dublin, the winner-takes-all scheme includes players receiving a percentage of the live betting for and against them. During this first event Hellmuth and Negreanu will join a competitive table of players: Dave “Devilfish” Ulliott, Carlos Mortensen, Maria Ho, Tobias Reinkemeier, Marvin Rettenmaier, James Dempsey, Eoghan O'Dea and Faraz Jaka. And to prevent possible collusion, the players will be sequestered with no outside influences including mobile devices, and online viewers can only place bets through official partner Paddy Power Poker. The man behind the concept, Poker Royalty entrepreneur Brian Balsbaugh says iSeriesLIVE is just the beginning of new revenue streams for professional players. Earlier this week he commented: “After Black Friday, we were determined to find a way to add new revenue streams for our world class roster of talent. We are fronting the expenses, then sharing the wagering profits with the participating players. There are countless additional ways for us to monetize this model and we look forward to rolling them out over the course of the next year. Our end goal is to pay players for playing iSeriesLIVE events.” As for the future events, Balsbaugh said they are planing events in the future, that will include 36-person, six-max NLHE tournaments, and heads-up competitions.
