We have more results from Casinos from around the world.

Dominik Nitsche is a rising star on the poker circuit. Chosing to play primarly in the "minor leagues" to help his progression has proven to be a great decision for Nitsche the past few months. Nitsche collects his second Challenger Event win of the season - this time winning the Merit Summer Open Main Event.

The Peoples Poker Tour headed to the Casino Portomaso and crowned Treccarichi Walter as their tour stop champion, while Olivier Baeten recently captured the Partouche Poker Tour Oostende Main Event in Belgium.
