Don’t feel bad for the final six at the Party owned WPT.They have a day off tomorrow. No rest for the media crew though. Maybe too much rest for the Invitational finalists. Thor Hansen may have to win this to cover his losses of the last ten days. I ave no idea if the Las [...]

Nice guys in the lead
March 1st, 2010Finding the winner of the PartyPoker WPT event is still a job for the pin but good to see two of pokers nice guys wearing the yellow jerseys as they prepare for Day 4. Mark Newhouse went from rags to riches in September 06 with his $1.5m windfall from a victory in a WPT event [...]

Move over James Mackey: Here is the new babyfaced assassin
February 25th, 2010When James Mackey posed with the $700k prize money at the WSOP07 after one of the NLHE tournies most of us assumed he was a thirteen year old and we waited for his father to appear.(Remember bloggers are not allowed to watch the final tables but are allowed in for winners photos.)

Caesars announces line up for NBC Heads Up
February 24th, 2010By coincidence,probably, on the day of the $10k Heads Up at the LAPC I received an email from Rogers + Cowan, who are already doing a better job than Jackie Lapin did at the LAPC Invitational, listing the 57 stars who will be joined by seven qualifiers at Caesars Palace on Friday March 5th for [...]
