"Koovoon" Becomes the Seventh Spin & Go Millionaire in the Past Month on PokerStars
The world's largest real-money online poker room, PokerStars, has been rewarding $1 million prizes left and right this month. A PokerStars Blog entry titled Koovoon Becomes Spin & Go Millionaire Number Seven discusses how Canada's "Koovoon" became the seventh millionaire on the site in the past month.

The Russian poker economy also became richer in this event as the other two players, "AndyG1810" and "Play2win$1kk", each won $100,000 for second and third-place finishes respectfully.

Tips on Note Taking
With partypoker recently banning HUDs and other poker tracking software, the need to take notes on players at the online poker room has become more important. With this in mind, partypoker blogger and PokerNews UK Editor Matthew Pitt provides some helpful tips on note taking on a partypoker Blog entry titled Tips For Taking Notes at the Poker Table.
While you will need to read the blog to learn everything you need to know about note taking, topics that Pitt covers include making sure the information in yours notes is useful, using abbreviations, including player positions, jotting down post-flop details, and being prepared to alter notes as things change.
Taking proper notes can not only help you later on in the same poker tournament or ring game, but also come in handy if you see this player again in a future poker match.
