Player of the Month: David Benyamine for his victory in the PartyPoker.com Premier League.
Quote of the Month: Padraig Parkinson refutes any suggestion that Devilfish could be a criminal mastermind — “Firstly, between playing poker and partying, the man barely has time to sleep, let alone look after a criminal empire.

Story of the Month: Both Entraction and bwin showed significant poker revenue growth in 2009 despite the biting recession.
