PKR.com and the Fox Poker Club in London are teaming up to bring players a series of live tournament events. Entitled the London Calling festival the series will consist of 57 events over the course of 28 days.

Events will cover a number of different variations of the game including Texas Hold'em, Omaha, and HORSE. It will run from October 11th to November 7th and there will be a special leader board element to the series in which players can exchange tournament points for entry into exclusive freeroll tournaments on PKR.com.

"It's been our ambition to put on an event like this for some time and we're delighted that London now has the perfect venue in which to do so," said Marketing Director for PKR.com, Simon Prodger, in a recent press release.

The majority of the events will feature affordable buy-ins in the £20 to £100 range. It is the site's hope that these buy-ins will attract a larger number of players to the event and ultimately to the site itself.

"With regular buy-ins ranging from £20, London Calling is for the huge number of people who'd love to play a high-quality dealer dealt tournament but find most poker tours and festivals are too high for their bankroll."

RealDealPoker.com, has announced the winner of their Beat The Champ promotion. Leif G. from Ludlow beat out the competition at the The Heavyweight Final event on Sunday for a chance to compete head-to-head against five-time heavyweight boxing champion Evander ‘Real Deal' Holyfield.

The two will face off in a special live game tomorrow evening at 7:30 PM UK time during London's Poker In The Park Festival. The game will feature a €2,300 prize pool with 75% of the pot going to the winner and 25% of the pot going to the runner up.

As you can imagine Leif G. appears to be very excited about his upcoming match. He recently sat down with Online Casino News to talk about poker, his life, and what it will mean to play against the heavy weight boxing champion.

"I liked the real cards at RealDealPoker.com the first time I tried it, as it feels more like a live game than a site featuring a random number generator," said Leif. "I used to play every week in the poker pocket pub league at my local pub. In my first season, I scored the highest points ever for the pub. All in all, I just love poker. It's going to be surreal playing against a world heavyweight champion. I mean, this guy knocked out Tyson."

Poker and boxing fans alike can check out the heads-up game live at Leicester Square or online at RealDealPoker.com.

Hurricane Earl which grew to a major Category 3 storm on Monday, struck Antigua with at least 5 inches of rain and 10-foot waves this morning. Major power outages have been reported across the island nation and as a result some online gambling sites have experienced major service interruptions.

A number of sites warned their players of the possibility of such outages on Sunday. Intertops.com which is best known for its internet sports betting site, Red Casino released the following statement to their players following the on slot,

"Please be advised that as a direct result of Hurricane Earl, we have suffered a major power outage in Antigua and the Intertops.com website and all its services are currently down. We are diligently working round the clock to restore our services to you our valued customer and will send notification via e-mail as soon as we are back online. Thank you for your understanding and patience in this situation!"

Hurricane Earl is expected to pick up steam as it makes its way across the Atlantic. Hurricane center specialist Michael Brennan now says that, "It is possible that Earl could become a Category 4 hurricane as we get into the middle to late portions of the week." Not all of the sites in the area have been affected; so far the popular online gambling brand bodog has remained operational despite being run out of Antigua. With any luck, all of the sites currently affected by nature's wrath will be up and running again before the week is out. As always stay tuned for more news and updates.

On August 27, 1963 Louis Sr. and Patricia Fabiano welcomed a beautiful baby boy into this world Louis Joseph Fabiano. He had lots of love growing up, as he was raised by both his loving parents and spirited grandmother, Sabia.

As a young child, he attended Bradenton Elementary. He did very well and always brought home good grades. During high school he attended a military academy.  There he learned self-responsibility, leadership skills, and what it means to be a great friend. In his senior year, he went to Palmetto High School where he graduated with honors.

Lou was always an entrepreneur. Lou began a career even before graduating from college.  At 17, he started his own marketing business. But that didn't mean he forgot about his education.  He started his collegiate endeavors at the University of Miami where he received a degree in computer engineering.

After college Lou worked for Sonitrol Security. During that time he welcomed his first child, Kara Fabiano, into the world.  He later went on to work at Advantor Systems and soon welcomed a second daughter, Nina Fabanio. He excelled in his professional life, but wanted to find someone to spend the rest of his life with. In his early thirties Lou found Marie, his loving wife. There was an instant connection from their very first date. They complimented each other's personalities perfectly and were inseparable from there on out. He also treated Marie's two older daughters, Sandra and Bianca, as his own. The Fabiano family later welcomed a fifth daughter, Aaliyah into their lives.

After their family was complete, Lou was drawn back to his first passion, internet marketing. In 1999, he launched a company that would later grow into one of the most successful businesses in the online gaming industry, Casino Affiliate Programs. In 2009, Lou furthered his accomplishments by forming a new company, Orlando Affiliate Publishing.

Sadly, on August 24, 2010 Louis Fabiano went home to God after fighting a good fight in ICU for several weeks. He will be remembered for a lot of things; his love of laughter and life, his motivation and drive, and most of all his dedication to his family and friends.

I just want to take a moment and ask anyone who can, to help this family through this difficult period in their lives. As an employee and friend of Lou and his family, I have seen first hand how hard it has been over the last few weeks. I still can't believe that he won't be there to greet me every morning or teach me all there is to learn about the industry. He was a good man and I will miss him dearly.  A fund has been set up for the Fabiano family to help them through this difficult time. Those who wish to donate can click here.
