Saturday Blog Dump: Derek's Borgata Run, Top 15 Referrals, and Pauly's Pub

First of all, congrats to my brother Derek, who took second place in a MTT super satellite on Full Tilt last night. He won a seat into the WPT Borgata satellite, which will be running today at 3pm ET. Stop by Full Tilt today and sweat him! I'm already scheduled to cover that tournament, it would be cool if he wins a seat.

A Word From Our Sponsors

By the way, Titan Poker is full of awful players. Take advantage, especially in those soft MTTs and SNGs. I have lurking around those shallow waters all week. I know that a few other sharks like Joanne and Spaceman have also been feasting on the fish on Titan Poker.

You really should consider signing up today. Titian Poker is offering a sign up bonus of 100% up to $500. That's a kick ass deal.

They also run a special promotion. If you win 6 "Rio" SNGs, then you win the progressive jackpot. Right now it's at $40,000. If you win 5 "Maui" SNGs, then they give you a jackpot of $18,000. That's not too bad considering its a $5 SNG and the juice is only 75 cents! I won two in a row the other day then bubbled out of the third.
