I think this is awesome news for US players! Today Bovada launched Zone Poker for 5nl, 10nl, and .02/.05 or .05/.10 PLO cash games. My guess is, this is just for micros so they can make sure it runs smoothly. They've said they may add tournaments at a later date. Either way, this seems like a great addition for US players.
