William Hill doesn’t have the well known as Full Tilt, or PokerStars but they want their ‘Poker News’ fans to know who they are. If you are a member of Poker News, then you will be able to participate in one of the four freerolls that the William Hill Poker Club is putting on. William Hill will be putting up $10,000 in freeroll cash, so if we were to do simple math that would mean each freeroll is worth $2,500. The dates for the freerolls are December 7th, December 27th, January 6th, and January 24th. For more information on the freerolls visit WilliamHillPoker.com.

The PokerStars.net Million Dollar Challenge is adding some new faces to the ‘roster’ this week, and I for one am looking forward to it. Super-model Joanna Krupa, and this year’s World Series of Poker main event champion, Joe Cada, will be added to the festivities. Krupa will join as a teammate to Tito Ortiz as they try to defend against the contestants. While Joe Cada will try to keep contestants from getting their shot to play heads up against ‘Kid Poker’, Daniel Negreanu. Although Cada is the main event champion, I have a feeling all eyes will be on super-model Joanna Krupa.

Day 2 of the European Poker Tour Prague is complete, and Yann Brosolo has chip lead heading into Day 3. Brosolo is heading into to Day 3 with 574,000 in chips, and a comfortable chip lead as he looks to make it through the rest of the field. Along with Brosolo, there are 95 players left in the tournament, and only 80 spots get into the money. When day 3 kicks off tomorrow 15 players will take the walk of shame as the bubble will be busted. Marc Gork who was the chip leader at the beginning of the day saw his whole stack disappear as he was eliminated on Day 2. The action will heat up tomorrow when the players return to the felt.
