Pure conspiracy theory … inspired by the winner’s pic of “Harold and” Vivek Rajkumar proudly displaying his WSOP WPT bracelet at the Borgata. Without even a rumor to base this on (just circumstantial observations and wild speculation) I called Pauly hoping we could start one. Pauly was in London after covering the entirety of the [...]
Nothing for six plus month, and another final table, this one a $12 180 person SnG. Going 1 for 2 today. Can't remember ever doing this. Took 3rd again for a tidy $235. Live poker tonight one way or another.
When & what started you playing poker?I really can't remember when I started playing but I know I was prettyyoung. My father played lots of card games, and poker was one of them.Texas Hold 'Em, however, wasn't my game of choice until right around theMoneymaker Effect. I had been playing a home game of dealer's choice backin G-Vegas when I discovered Ultimate Bet. Although I'll never play atthat cheating...
I've been back from Maine for 2 weeks and in that time I've had a sinus infection and a bad allergic reaction to not one, but 2 drugs. This is all just part of the joy of being me I guess. I went to Maine to deal with what I called a family emergency. It was more like family drama but no one looks at you funny when you say "emergency" they just assume someone is dieing and leave you alone. It all started...
ClubWPT is the newest show to come out of the World Poker Tour family and the first to premiere on Fox Sports Net, and, well, I expected better. Let me start by saying that I’m a fan of the WPT and have been since I was employed in their accounting department. I always secretly pull for [...]
You are the Hanged Man Self-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound. With the Hanged man there is often a sense of fatalism, waiting for something to happen. Or a fear of loss from a situation, rather than gain. The Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, wounded...

In Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee, petrol was the issue. Most of the Gulf of Mexico's crude-oil production halted before Gustav, and after the hurricanes hit the refineries were slow to recover. As of Sept 29th, according to the DoE, more than half of production was still shut down. Two pipelines serve most of the southeast, and severe shortages resulted. People started to fill up whenever...
Last month I remember throwing back the covers with force as Kate woke me up for yet another late-night feeding. I stared at the clock. It was 3:45 a.m. I thought of the Little River Band. "How Long Has This Been Going On?" I asked myself. And when will it ever end? I was completely burnt out on getting up in the middle of the night for more than a year while other parents bragged about how their babies...
By James Potter and Eliot James In a rush of activity we have just lost 3 players in record time and we are now down to our final two tables. Trevor Saunders from Sydney Australia has just been eliminated in 16th position and has walked away with over $7,000. Trevor pushed his small stack in with A-J and was called with Q-10. The window card bought a Queen and the rest was history. Trevor Saunders...
By James Potter and Eliot James W Yuan has just put Mat Wall out of the tournament. Wall pushed all in with 9-9 and was quickly called by Yuan who turned over A-K. An ace on the river had Yuan jumping for joy and Wall was eliminated in 20th place. The pace has slowed a little as the stacks are deep and the play is intense. Mat Wall eliminated in 20th position. The boys from PokerStars.tv have come...

Having just broken the bubble before the dinner break players have now returned to the tables to battle down to at least our final two tables tonight. The play hasn’t slowed down at all and the action all three tables is seeing plenty of chips being shipped...
Adam suggested watching the Canucks game at a strip club, so I did the online research. The place was good: cover was cheap, we were for the most part left alone to watch the game, and they accommodated us with the changing of the TV stations. Of course, some girls are more aggressive than others. I decided to have some fun with them and agree to buy a dance if they could successfully answer a trivia...
By James Potter and Eliot James While the players enjoy their dinner break you might like to catch up with a few interviews. We have Teresa Nousiainen one of Finland's finest poker exports. Followed by Mark Oosterveld from Canada who qualified for the tournament on PokerStars for $6 and last but not least, local personality Chris Walton who won his way into the tournament in an emotional fashion at...
