Breaking News: Frank to Introduce I-Gaming Bill Wednesday
by IGN Staff

Barney Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, is to introduce new legislation Wednesday that will “enable Americans to bet online and put an end to an inappropriate interference with their personal freedom,” according to a press release from the committee.

“The new bill would create an exemption to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) for operators that are licensed and regulated,” the release said. “UIGEA, which was enacted in 2006, restricts the use of the payments system for Americans who seek the freedom to gamble online.”

A press conference in Washington, D.C., has been scheduled for Wednesday at 10 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time.

It took just about four hours of play, then Justin ‘Bonomo’ emerged winner of the WSOP Circuit event here at Caesars! It was all worth it in the end for him. Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi and Bonomo battled back and forth all evening. Multiple times, one of the players would drop below one million chips, but then battle back up to get level or even take back the chip lead. Finally though, Bonomo was able to put together a nice string of wins in big pots to cripple The Grinder and then eventually finish things off in back-to-back hands. Bonomo will take home just under $240,000 for his win.
