Seidel’s epic heater is continuing at the WPT $100,000 Super High Roller event as he will be going heads-up with a chip lead against Erick Lindgren. With first place paying $1,092,780 and second paying $700,500 Seidel had no choice but to continue to make a sick amount of money this year, which has already amounted to almost $4 million from eight cashes in major live tournaments.
Day 2 of the the World Poker Tour’s biggest buy-in ($100,000) saw a field of 29 reduced to 17, who vied for the Super High Roller piece of the $2.802 million-dollar pie (not bad for a field of less than 30).

Sing Bingo offers a selection of free bingo games to all players both depositing and unfunded. Previously the brand offered no more than a cash match offer to players making their first deposit at the site but it would appear that it is the turn of Sing Bingo to offer a no deposit required welcome bonus.
