Cheating at AP, updated cliff notes

[justinsampson]

What ever happened to Dan Druff's second phone call that he was supposed to have with AP at 3pm PST?

SIAP, but the Associated Press has picked up the story, though it doesn't appear to have been widely disseminated:

I don't think it's Doomsday, but you can bet that the Bill Frists of the world are going to enjoy a big round of "I told you so's." I'm also concerned by the fact that the federal regs implementing the UIGEA have yet to be released. Assuming there was some debate in DC about how stringent the regs should be, this certainly won't help our cause any.

Seriously, both of the poker stories are now in the top ten, and on Digg, it's very rare to have two similar stories in the top ten. People are very interested in this scandal.
