Tom Somach reports in this coming Sunday's San Francisco Examiner, December 15, 2013, about a new and supposedly legal U.S.-based online poker room set to debut in 2014.

The room will operate from the San Francisco Bay Area, be run by an 80-year-old math whiz and challenge existing S.F.-based poker website Pure Play in an Internet poker war that will make the Bay Area the Ground Zero for the fray.

Experts on Internet poker will weigh in on the coming battle, including Gambling911.com publisher Chris Costigan, who was interviewed for the story.

Somach had previously reported on Pure Play, the free-to-play membership online poker room that currently operates from the San Francisco Bay area.

Tom Somach has covered the online gambling sector for sites like Gambling911.com and other well known venues since the mid-1990’s.
