We’ve put another week of the 2009 World Series of Poker in the books with more craziness. The crowds continue to storm the hallways of the Amazon Room looking for a table and a chance. The crazies are starting to make their way onto the scene, pros and amateurs are mingling together with a common goal, chip runners stay busy 24 hours a day.
While all this is going on, the good folks at Image Masters continue to provide us with some great action shots during the tournaments. Every morning I receive pictures from the day before that I use to enhance the stories I try to bring the readers. I hope they’ve added to the experience.
Today I bring you some photos from Week 2 of the 2009 World Series of Poker without my ramblings. A small taste of what we have available, look for a full gallery coming in the next few days. All pictures courtesy of Image Masters.
Pictures after the jump, click to enlarge:
The Two Faces of Andy Black
Andy Black started off the 2009 World Series of Poker with players talking about his play AND his appearance. He seemed to be rocking the beard and laid back look at the beginning and looked completely different during Week 2. Your investigative blogger will get to the bottom of this before the end of the series.
Phil Ivey collects World Series of Poker bracelet #6 at the daily ceremony from WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack.
Phil Ivey wasted no time after winning his 6th WSOP bracelet. He hopped right back into action. Full Tilt pro Beth Shak in the foreground and may be the recipient of the Ivey stare.
Legends side-by-side. Erik Seidel and Mike Sexton grinding away in Event #15 of the 2009 World Series of Poker. Seidel came close to winning his 9th WSOP bracelet in the Pot Limit Hold’em tournament had to settle for a seventh place finish. Seidel is tied with another legend, Johnny Moss, with 8 WSOP bracelets.
Svetlana Gromenkova and Karina Jett were just a few of the Full Tilt pros to represent in the 2009 World Series of Poker Ladies Championship. Gromenkova won this event in 2008 but was unable to defend her title.

“Miami” John Cernuto and John Juanda playing in Event #16 $1,500 Seven Card Stud tournament. “Miami” John would put up a great fight ending up in 11th. Juanda had his first shot at bracelet number 5 by making the final table. Juanda’s run ended with a 5th place finish.
Howard Lederer playing in the $10,000 Mixed World Championship. It’s been a slow start to the series for “The Professor” this year with only one cash to date. No doubt he’ll be a factor as the series progresses.
Both David Chiu and Huck Seed won their way to the final table of the $10,000 Mixed Championship with a chance to add to their jewelry collection. Seed collected over $102,000 for his 5th place finish and Chiu was the runner up for $304,000 but no new trophies on his wrist.
Erica Schoenberg only has one cash in the 2009 World Series of Poker but continues her search for a WSOP bracelet. As a railbird favorite, she is always easy to find in the poker room.
It’s never a dull moment when Perry Friedman is in the poker room. He started the series by sporting a “Full Tilt Poker grill” (gold hip hop teeth things for us uncool folk) and he added a little twist in Week 2. It’s tough to see but he rocking the cornrows on each side of his head with Full Tilt spelled out in beads. Who knows what to expect in Week 3.
