Rob Perelman, known as veeRob in the Twitter world, made us all proud winning the Heartland Poker Tour's opening event of the 2011 season at the Red Rock in Vegas. J.J. Liu finished third in the event.

Here is what veeRob tweeted shortly after his victory...

In Lyon, Laurent Morel won the first Partouche Poker Tour event of the year.

The Helsinki Freezeout recently held it's Main Event and Miikka Annttonen was the champ.
