A quick look at some tournament poker news from around the circuit. (Bodog Beat Image)

Today's one of those days where there's a lot going on, but there's not really a lot going on. Makes total sense right? Suffice it to say, there's a few blurbs worth mentioning but none of them really wirth mentioning by themselves.

Anyway, let's get on with it:

- The $10,000 buy-in WPT Foxwoods Poker Classic kicks off tomorrow. There will be poker pros in attendance, but no one really knows which ones or how many people will actually show up in total. This will be worthy of a post by itself when it gets underway.

- The 2009 Five-Star World Poker Classic has been underway at the Bellagio for a few days. Poker pro Jonathan "FieryJustice" Little took down the $500 buy-in first event for a payday of $27,470. The FSWPC ends in a couple of weeks with the $25,000 buy-in 2009 WPT Championship, or the 2009 FSWPCWPTC.

- Event No. 1 of the Venetian Deep Stack tournament series kicked off today and culminates in the $2,500 championship event on April 23.

- The WSOP Academy is holding their Advanced Poker Academy at Caesars Palace starting tomorrow, so there's that.

- Jamie Gold his girlfriend and some other guy won the Dream Team Poker Tournament as Team Aced. Read the action at PokerListings.

That pretty much does it. As you can see, a lot, but not really. We've got a ton of WPT action coming up over the next few weeks though, so make sure to head back here for more poker news. And if you want to head to a WPT event yourself instead of living them vicariously through us, qualify online for the WPT through Bodog Poker and win a $12,000 prize package. The end.
