Anthon-Pieter Wink, chief editor of pokermagazine Card Player, won more then $230.000 by finishing number 1 in the 10th edition of the Unibet Open in Budapest.

Wink had to beat a total of 460 other poker players from 23 countries.

The dutch success was not a surprise. The last 3 editions dutch players finished in 3th spot twice, and one time in 2nd.

On the final table Wink played consistent. Starting the day on place 3 of the chipcount, he rapidly gained more chips and moved towards the top spot.

While she cracked them a day earlier, yesterday Fatima Moreira de Melo also known as Snorro78 lost against pocket aces. With that los her german poker adventure came to an end on day 2 of the tournament.

On day one she found herself in a pot where she started with pocket sevens. What she didn´t know was that her opponent held pocket rockets, the best starting hand available. On the flop she got lucky and hit her set of sevens which gave her the pot win.

Poker babe and former professional hockey player Fatima Moreira de Melo is ready for the next step in her poker career. Next month she will be participating in the European Poker Tour in Berlin. Last month Fatima won more then $20.000 in a online poker event.

Fatima has developed a great talent to play poker. In a rapid pace she reached the dutch poker top. A ninth place in the Dutch Master Classics of Poker, a 12th place in the Dutch Chapionships and most recently winning the online poker event is the living proof of this.

The online victory was an absolute boost in confidence, she stated. Since her online victory she tried to change her game slightly to bring a litle more aggression in her play.

Alan Lake, a british engineer of Thorney Leys, won the Sunday Warm Up on PokerStars after a nine hour tournament. The tournament started with 4.557 competitors.

May you be in search of some valuable domain names, poker.org isn't available anymore. Domain selling platform Sedo sold the domain name for $1 million to PokerCompany.com. Never before that much was paid for a dot org domain.

PokerCompany allready owned the domains BlackJack.org, EveryPoker.com en RakeBack.org, well known names for everyone with a gambling habit and a credit card.

Sex.com
$1 million may be a record for a dot org extension, but for a dot com extension you have to pull a much bigger wallet. For example, Insure.com swapped owners last year for a stunning $16 million and Sex.com was sold for $14 million in 2004.

On March 18th, the worlds most famous domain again goes under the hammer because current owner Escom seems to have some financial problems. If your interested you first have to deposit $1 million to the New York law firm Windels Marx Lane & Mittendorf.
