jennicide playboy Jennifer “Jennicide” Leigh Poses for Playboy

This months issue of playboy magazine features poker celebrity Jenifer Leigh, better known in the poker community of Jennicide. This issue has been the talk of online poker forums since July 2007 when rumors first leaked that she had posed nude. While we’re not exactly sure where or when the photo shot was conducted or if the previous rumors were premature, we do know; Jennice is most certainly featured nude in the May 2008 issue of playboy.

Some sources have suggested that this photo shoot and interview coverage is a big positive for the online poker industry. Jennifer is a strong advocate against the UIGEA and having a major publication like Playboy, speaking about the issues of online poker is great and it will also bring more fish to the tables. Whether or not you agree with these sources you can still download an enjoy the photos at playboydigital.com

Grenade Launchers Found in Kahnawake

Another set of police raids have taken place in the Kahnawake reservation, located in Quebec, Canada. This time police where not investigating the gambling commission but were rather looking for drugs. During the raid massive amounts of firearms, tons of marijuana and three grenade launchers with a combined street value of $2.5 million were confiscated.. This is actually the combined findings of 15 organized raids all spanning from Kahnawake, Kanesatake and Akwesasne, which are all Mohawk native reservations.

It is unclear at this time if any of those raided have any interests in the gambling operations of the Kahnawake reservation. In case you’re not familiar with Kahnawake their gaming commission has issued over 400 online gambling licenses and represent 60% of the world’s online gaming operations.
