Four-max poker will be the standard in Las Vegas poker rooms when casinos fi rst reopen. e Nevada Gaming Control Board released health and safety policies for Silver State casinos to implement that will allow them to resume gaming operations in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. ose policies dictate that there will be a limited amount of seating available at every operational gaming table. Only four players will be allowed at a poker table, four players at a roulette table, six players at a craps table and only three per blackjack table. A player-per-table limit eliminates any sort of full ring, or even six-max poker for the immediate future. It essentially eliminates poker tournaments until these rules are relaxed and the virus becomes less of a concern. It is part of broader social distancing measures regulators are forcing operators to comply with. Casinos will also ensure that large groups do not congregate in sportsbooks, bingo halls and keno lounges. e guide- lines also recommend that chairs and stools in front of every other slot machine be removed. Any area of the hotel or casino that forms a queue will require patrons to keep their distance from one another. Other areas of the resorts will have similar measures in place. Dayclubs and nightclubs will remain closed until further notice. In order to reopen, casinos must submit a plan that outlines how staff will comply with the new regulations. ose plans, which will only allow casinos to operate at 50 percent capacity, must be submitted at least seven days before guests are allowed into the buildings again. Aside from table limits and social distancing measures, new regulations include proper signage posted throughout the building reminding patrons of proper hygiene, mandated hand washing by employees on every break, appropriate personal protective equipment, most likely mask and facial coverings, worn by employees, and enhanced cleaning procedures. e policies still did not give an exact date or timeline for when casinos will reopen. Nevada casinos have been closed since Gov. Steve Sisolak ordered a shutdown of all nonessential businesses on March 17. m Sign Up For Card Player’s Free Poker School.

Polk needed to get three signatures from Vegas residents that voted in the last Mayoral election. “I got a couple extra signatures just in case and we have an official petition signed,” said Polk. e next step is acquiring 25 percent of the voters from the last election to sign a petition requesting a recall election. ere were 26,723 total votes the last time Goodman was elected, meaning Polk will need at least 6,681 of those voters to sign the petition. Once the threshold is met and the paperwork is filed, Goodman will have to run again in an election. Polk clarified that if he is successful in his efforts, there is no guarantee that Goodman will be removed. “is isn’t an impeachment. ere will be a new election. Goodman could win again,” said Polk. Polk noted that there was a change.org petition to remove Goodman from office, but he informed his viewers that the petition was useless. e only way Goodman can be removed from office at this point is through the ballot box. At the end of his video, Polk joked about running against Goodman and jumped into a com- edy sketch where he gave a campaign speech centered around the premise that he was simply not Goodman. Polk has tweeted in the past that he had political aspirations, but when reached for comment Polk indicated that it likely won’t be in a possible recall election against Goodman. “At some point, I am going to get into politics,” said Polk. “I have a feeling this will not be it, but I’m not against the idea.” e current mayor responded to Polk’s actions on Twitter with a tweet that said “Regarding the recall effort: is is America. at’s his choice.” Goodman has been elected to the position for three consecutive terms. Her term is scheduled to end 2024. She is following in the footsteps of her husband, Oscar Goodman, who held the same office over three terms from 1999-2011. m “AT SOME POINT, I AM GOING TO GET INTO POLITICS,” SAID POLK.

    WPT Festa al Lago: Cole in Pole – Deeb und Ferguson in Top 10 Von M. W. Im Rennen um die vier Millionen Dollar Preisgeld wird e simmer spannender. Corwin Cole holte sich die Pole-Position und ist mit knapp einer Million Chips Favorit auf den Titel, der mit 1.218.225 Dollar belohnt wird. Von den 96 Teilnehmern sind noch 37 im Turnier. Heute müssen noch zehn davon raus, damit sich die restlichen Spieler ein Preisgeld von mindestens 23.855 Dollar abholen können. Freddy Deeb und Chris Ferguson stiegen dank einer Sonderregelung erst am gestrigen zweiten Tag in die Veranstaltung ein und liegen bereits auf dem achten und zehnten Platz. Für Chris „Jesus“ Ferguson sah es kurz gar nicht gut aus, als er und sein Gegenüber auf dem Board von D710/9 All-In gingen. Es selbst hatte zwar die Dame zum High- Pair, doch auf der anderen Seite zeigte sich D/9 für zwei Paare. Ferguson muss allerdings einen Schutzengel gehabt haben, denn schon am Turn folgte der König. Der Gewinner der 2009 Legends of Poker Prahlad Friedman liegt mit 188.000 im hinteren Feld. Seine Ehefrau führt ihm derzeit vor, wie es besser ginge. Dee Luong (Bild) liegt nämlich mit 771.500 Chips auf dem ausgezeichneten vierten Platz und ist natürlich die beste Frau im Event. Für Tag 1-Chipleader Mike Matusow, Justin Bonomo, Jonathan Little, Scott Clements und Mike Leah ist die WPT Festa al Lago bereits gelaufen. Corwin Cole schmiss kurz vor Ende Bob Safai, der ein Paar Neuner hielt, hinaus. Cole callte mit A/J und sah am Flop eben diese zwei Karten in einer anderen Farbe auftauchen.
