Rizia Moreira VS Guy Laliberté

A court motion was filed recently in Quebec that is grabbing headlines on both sides of the boarders. An anonymous woman filed a claim for spousal support against a multi billionaire living in Quebec. This man is a provincial business leader and the creator of Cirque du Soleil. has been a common law husband to two women. With both there has been great history and involvement, however with Rizia Moreira there was a split after the birth of their 3rd child. The woman is asking for 56k / month and 50 million.
From what is currently known, Rizia Moreira met Guy when she was only 17 in Brazil. We know at that time she was in school and her dad was paying the bill. From there she fell in love with Guy and they moved to Canada against her dad’s wishes. At that point they began living in common law marriage. They had 3 children together, and have long since fallen out. Standard law in Quebec would allow for him to support the children, and their needs, but not Rizia’s, regardless of how long they lived together. She is pushing to change that law now, with the help of a former lover Herbert Black. Rizia’s challenge is not only against Quebec common law but a constitutional challenge. Due to the nature of this case, in Canada there is a Gag Order thus we are basing this information on sources that have spoken to the US press, and done so quietly.
Now, when you search in Canada they are referring to a billionaire in Quebec being sued by his former common law wife who’s aka is Lola. There are only 6 in Quebec, and Guy Laliberté is the youngest and the one with 5 children total. That would be the same case we are discussing. This challenge is going to be making headlines for a very long time to come.

2009 NBC National Heads Up Tournament

Of all the tournaments of the year, the NBC Heads Up Tournament may be one of the funnest events of the year. In a sixty-four player field similar to NCAA’s March Madness, sixty four of the best online players in the world gathered at Caesars in Vegas to determine the best heads up no limit player of the year. At the selection party the night before the poker tournament, players are seeded and put against an opponent for advancement into the round of thirty-two. Many interesting match ups were seen in the first round of the tournament. Interesting matchups in the first round included PokerStars pros Daniel Negreanu vs. Chris Moneymaker, Mike Matusow vs. Dario Minieri, Full Tilt poker originals Erik Lindgren vs. Howard Lederer, and two online high stakes regulars David Benyamine vs. Gus Hansen. As it turned out, Negreanu beat Moneymaker, Minieri beat Negreanu, Lindgren defeated the professor, and Hansen beat Benyamine. Other notable first round finishes included Vannessa Rousso defeating Doyle Brunson, Peter Eastgate over Andy Bloch, and actor Brad Garrett advancing over Annie Duke.
Rousso had her work cut out for her in round two, however, being matched up with Phil Ivey. First round survivors Daniel Negreanu and Dario Minieri were matched up. Gus Hansen was paired up with one of the only men to cash in the tournament four years in a row, Huck Seed. Another interesting note took place, as the winners of the Hellmuth / Ishbia match would play the winner of the Tom Dwan / Barry Greenstein would play, leaving the door open for a possible rematch between hot NBC heads up rivals Tom Dwan and Phill Hellmuth. Rousso went through her second legend by eliminating Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu beat internet phenom Minieri, the Great Dane was eliminated by Huck Seed, and in an almost prophetic way, Phil Hellmuth beat qualifier Ishbia, as well as ‘durrrr‘ beating Greenstein, meaning the two would have a showdown in the sweet sixteen. Other sweet sixteen qualifiers were Paul Wasicka, Scotty Nguyen, John Juanda, online stud Bertrand ‘Elky’ Grospellier, David Williams, Erik Lindren, John Phan, Sam Farha, Kenny Tran, David Oppenheim, and Glen Chorny.

The final four were set, and Grospellier, possibly the hottest player in poker today, took an early lead over Rousso. However, through tough play and two double ups, Rousso took the lead and finished ‘ElKy’ off when her pocket sevens trumped his K-6. On the other side, Huck Seed and Sam Farha went longer than any match in the tournament. After Farha had a dominated chip lead of 10:1, before Seed grinded back to a normal stack. With an average stack of only eight big blinds, the players got it all in when Sam Farha had A-K off vs. Seed’s 10-8 suited. Seed made a flush and earned a spot in the best 2-3 finals. In a post match interview, Seed said he felt comfortable with Rousso and never felt too worried. He beat Rousso in the first two matches, earning a $500,000 prize and his first NBC Heads up win. Seed, amazingly, has cashed all five years of the tournament, is the winningest player in tournament history, and will be the heads up champion for a year. Seed made an interesting comment on who was his toughest opponent of the entire tournament: Sam Farha. Another good year at the NBC Heads Up led to upsets, underdogs, and yet a dominating heads up player who won a $5,000 Heads Up tournament in Canada just last year taking the crown at Caesers: Huck Seed is your champion.

Double-ups and bustouts abounded in high stakes action on Sunday night at Full Tilt Poker. Two $500-$1000 HA tables were going with Gus Hansen, Hac Dang “trex313” , and Patrik Antonius populating both. Dang had to endure a several bustouts early on. The first came when he moved all-in on the flop with a pair of kings. Antonius called, having flopped two pair. The two pair held up and Antonius took down a pot worth $85,888.

800 Pound Gorilla that wasn’t in the room

I just posted about the 2009 heads up championship and couldn’t believe some of the names I was reading. I can’t believe they would have Jennifer Tilly in the NBC heads up tournament and not have Alec Torelli! Yes, I know Alec Torelli a little, but I don’t think this is a bias post. I spend hours a day researching poker and pros and so I pick up a little bit of poker knowledge. One of the recent feats I’ve seen accomplished was by Alec Torelli. He finished 2nd in the 2008 WSOP Heads up Championships and 2nd in the 2009 Crown Aussie Millions Championship. He also has a FTOPS main event under his belt and he won back to back World Poker Tour Events (not main). He has tons of experience playing heads up poker at Full Tilt Poker and is pretty popular young gun. Alec was shocked (much to Andre Robl’s joy), that he was invited to the pre party for the Heads up Championship, but not the actual event. IMO, he should have got a seat in the event over others that played.

Anyways, this gave me an idea to do an heads up invitational tournament myself. Yes, I’m going to personally pick (with some help from pros) a line up for an invite only heads up tournament on a major online poker room! I plan on inviting Chris Ferguson, Alec Torelli, Tom Dwan, Patrik Antonius, Phil Galfond, Howard Lederer, Ilari Sahamies, Hac Dang, Di Dang, Sami Kelopuro, Phil Ivey, and others to be involved in this epic online heads up tournament. I’m also planning an election process via polls.

So maybe Alec wouldn’t be the 800 lb gorilla in a room full of top pros, but he will definitely have the respect from them and maybe some fear. I think Alec is one of the an under rated pro. Maybe that will help get to the top!

Sub-$2000 Tata Nano is Officially The World's Cheapest Car

India's Tata Nano has been in the works for some time, but pre-orders are starting today with a MSRP of 100,000 rupees (under $2000)—officially making it the cheapest car in the world.

The price jumps up to around $2400 when you factor in the additional costs associated with excise fees, transportation, taxes, etc—but the allure of a car that ridiculously cheap is going to be powerful not only in India, but around the world. That's why the Tata group has plans for releasing a version for the European market in 2011 and North American market beyond that (although those versions will undoubtedly be more expensive).

Of course, you get what you pay for, and $2000 isn't going to buy you even basic luxuries like air-conditioning—but it will get you over 50 mpg. The question of reliability is also an issue, but it couldn't be worse than that gas guzzling beater you are driving around right now could it?
