Whether it is the result of the many Internet Poker Series, players looking for a different venue to ply their skills or the huge upswing of online players from Europe, the inclusion and expansion of internet poker tournaments, SnGs and cash game tables are fueling the hunger of players who are expanding their poker horizons from the Texas Hold’em only venues.
