ESPN March Poker Player Rankings Released
Published byTuesday, ESPN.com released the March version of "The Nuts" , its ranking of the top ten poker players in the world. The list does not simply rank the best living players, but rather aims to determine who is currently playing the best poker. All variations of poker are considered – live and online, tournaments and cash games. Poker News Daily's own Dan Cypra is one of the members of the voting panel, along with ESPN.com writers Gary Wise , Andrew Feldman, and Bernard Lee (also a PND contributor), Bluff magazine's editor-in-chief Lance Bradley and senior writer Jessica Welman, PokerNews.com editor-in-chief Matthew Parvis and tournament reporter Don Peters, and Poker Road's Court Harrington. This is the fourth month for "The Nuts," and for the fourth month, the seemingly peerless Phil Ivey sits atop the rankings. He did not have any significant live poker tournament success in February, but his cash game prowess is still second to none. While the rankings are a measure of who is the best "right now," the panel's focus is not so narrow as to limit evaluation to just a single month. Ivey gets credit for his outstanding results in the months leading up to the most recent vote. Jason Mercier , one of the best players that the general poker public may have never heard of, moved up one spot to number two. In February, the Floridian made the quarterfinals of the National Heads-Up Poker Championship and placed third in the WPT L.A.

Face the Ace Lawsuit Dismissed in Nevada’s Eighth District Court
Published byOn Monday, Poker News Daily learned that the Eighth District Court in Nevada dismissed a lawsuit filed by Brandon McSmith , who claimed ownership of the idea for the NBC poker game show “ Face the Ace .” McSmith can now file an appeal or seek the intervention of a federal court. McSmith told Poker News Daily that while he was disappointed in the decision, he’s optimistic that an appeal will be successful: “ Judge Michelle Leavitt dismissed the case on the basis that I didn't state a claim. Leavitt has her fair share of appeals that have gone against her.” McSmith purportedly created a show dubbed “ All Star Poker Challenge ” in which five pros would take on contestants in a series of heads-up matches similar to the structure of “Face the Ace.” Each match was worth $2,000 in prize money and players who fought through all five pros would take home a trip to the World Series of Poker ( WSOP ) Main Event.
