Poker News Updates October 21, 2019

Welcome to our new Poker News blog, all the latest tournament, player and juicy stories related to the game for this day October 21, 2019. 

6:08 pm ET - Party Poker is scrapping the majority of satellites that feed into specific tournaments and replacing them with satellites in which you win tournament dollars.

In the past, Party Poker has come in for a little criticism about the way the site manages its tournament satellites and only awards tickets for specifically target events with a shelf life of between seven and twenty-eight days. To be fair to the site, it has hardly kept the expiry dates a secret, and targeted satellites help “high risk” events meet their guarantees – which encourages the site to put on more.

1:05 pm ET - This poker dealer dressed up as a Chippendale at a Ladies poker tournament.  Some found it offensive, others found it …. well….just downright creepy.

I’m not really sure how @CM_Poker @BattleOfMalta think this is an acceptable gimmick for a ladies event. I, like most of the ladies here find this demeaning for both the players and the dealers! pic.twitter.com/1evp783HIh

I’ve not been legitimately surprised like this in a while. This was a very poor decision on so many levels.

WTF??? That’s just embarrassing. How can anyone have seriously thought that was a good idea!! Very very poor who ever was responsible. Think an apology to all the players is in order
