2009 World Series of Poker – Day 2b Pictures
Posted by AlCantHang | Filed under Bloggers on the Rail
I’m not sure if it’s me or the room, but things are dragging a bit in the Amazon Room today. I’m sure it’s me and a bunch of players I saw out and about last evening. I was super sneaking and crashed a competitor’s WSOP party last evening, it was my little contribution to the effort as I attempted to their players to stay up late and enjoy too much liquid entertainment.
This was after destroying their team in the Dream Team Poker Media Charity tournament. I didn’t do so much destroying, it was actually my teammates since I was the first out for our team.
These are the things I bring to the team.
As it stands, we’re down to just above 1300 players as we kick into Level 12 of the Main Event. That means just roughly over half the remaining players will have a disappointing walk home while the rest will cash at the cages. Phil Ivey was moved right along the rail near the door and is getting himself a lot of attention from fans and the ESPN cameras. Causing even more congestion on the rail is legendary Phil Hellmuth at the very next table. Ivey has been chipping up throughout the day and is continuing his hot run with around 430,000 at this time.
Less talking and more pictures. These are some pictures from Day 2b when several FTP pros made a run. The first picture is of the aforementioned Phil Ivey with our favorite Amazon Room masseuse, Sugar Lips. That’s the name she goes by, don’t blame me. The rest of the pictures after the jump.

Heads Up: David Benyamine Versus David Singer
Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Heads Up
Most of the matches so far in the Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up Challenge have been David versus Goliath situations – not today. This time we’ve got a David versus David match-up, as 5 seed David “The only Frenchman on earth that I’m actually jealous of” Benyamine takes on 12 seed David “Not a real singer” Singer. At first glance it appears this should be an easy victory for the Frenchman, but Singer could prove to be a tough opponent. Do we have another upset brewing? Only time will tell. And me. Because I get to decide who wins and loses. So, in a way, I’m more powerful than time itself. It’s just the first in a long line of steps leading me to a god-like status. Wow, we better get this match started before my delusions of grandeur start gaining power. On to the showdown:
