On Wednesday, Hevad “RaiNKhaN” Khan won the $2,000 buy-in no limit hold’em preliminary event at the 2008 Foxwoods Poker Classic, winning $108,000.
Khan, who gained fame in reaching the final table of last year’s World Series of Poker main event, beat a field of 192 people to win the event. But that is just part of Khan’s recent string of success, according to pokerkingblog.com
Anyways, the last month has been a particularly good one for Khan.
First he took 14th in the main event of the WSOP Circuit event in Atlantic City. This was good for $13.4k, but Khan was just getting started. A few weeks later, Khan outlasted 2503 other players and took down the Sunday Warm-up on Pokerstars for $98k, which was his biggest online cash ever. As you can imagine, Khan used his subdued and calm nature to patiently navigate his way through the tournament.
Khan, who got a lot of TV time last year for his antics at the WSOP, may have to be more subdued at this year’s events — new rules have been made to try to curtail excessive celebration.

iMEGA files notice in UIGEA lawsuit
The notice is a preliminary step for iMEGA before it files a full brief regarding its appeal. The notice was filed by Eric Bernstein, iMEGA's chief counsel, and a copy was sent to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jacqueline Coleman Snead of the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Division in Washington D.C.
iMEGA's lawsuit is based on its belief that the UIGEA is a bad law and violates Americans' constitutional rights because it prevents them from engaging in their fundamental right to conduct their lives however they wish to.
The UIGEA prevents people from exercising that right because it is designed to stop online gambling by preventing the electronic processing of money from financial institutions and credit cards to or from online gambling sites.
In early March, U.S. District Judge Mary Cooper dismissed the lawsuit based on her finding that the UIGEA had been legally enacted and doesn't violate the Constitution.
"We believe Judge Cooper missed the opportunity to affirm Americans' online privacy rights and we plan to appeal to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals," Bernstein said when the ruling was release.
In her ruling, Cooper did give iMEGA legal standing to challenge the UIGEA. As an association acting on behalf of its members who could potentially be affected by the UIGEA being implemented, iMEGA has the right to continue an appeal or possibly file a new action against the law on different grounds.
