rewarded many of our loyal players in the World's Biggest Rake Chase, and in
August we'll want to reward even more players just for playing poker at
DevilfishPoker.com. They'll even get a chance to 'Fight the Fish' by playing
against me in the Weekly Bounty every Thursday so it's a double whammy for
smart players who recognise value when they see it. "
