2009 World Series of Poker Day 35 – Coin Flip for the H.O.R.S.E.
Posted by AlCantHang | Filed under Bloggers on the Rail
Eight players will take their seats for the final table of the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. World Champioship today and four of those players are members of Team Full Tilt. Carrying the flag today will be Vitaly Lunkin who starts the day second in chips followed by Huck Seed, Chau Giang, and Erik Seidel. With 50% of the remaining players, we’re coin flipping to add an eight bracelet to the FTP count. As expected it will be a stacked final table with 18 bracelets amongst the 8 players.
Erik Siedel – 8 wins
Huck Seed – 4 wins
Chau Giang – 3 wins
Vitaly Lunkin – 2 wins
Ville Wahlbeck – 1 win
Lunkin and Wahlbeck have a chance to add to the number of multiple bracelet winners at the 2009 World Series of Poker. Four players have accomplished that feat this year, it could move us into uncharted waters trying to tie/pass the record of six multiple winners in 2003.
There will also be two other bracelet awarded by the end of the day. Eric “Rizen” Lynch is the premier name remaining in the Triple Chance No Limit Hold’em Event. Allie Prescott and Tournament Director extraordinaire Matt Savage are lining up to win some WSOP gold in the $1,500 Stud/8 tournament.
Today brings us the final “open” tournament before the Ante Up for Africa and Main Event. The $5,000 6-max No Limit Hold’em should draw a nice crowd of grinders and pros looking at their next to last shot at WSOP glory. Those who have not had the best series so far may turn desperate, others will be looking to add more to their 2009 WSOP earnings.
The halls of the Amazon Room have begun their final transformations. Over the last 5 weeks things have been pretty standard. Munchie stations, a few bar setups for adult beverages, the odd booth featuring bikini clad girls to distract the grinders. The Main Event is right around the corner so we’re seeing more displays and hucksters. The Rio staff has begun preparing the convention center for the World Series of Poker Life Expo. I may be able to do an entire post just reviewing each booth.
The clock is ticking for our players this year. Time to make moves.

2009 World Series of Poker – Week 2 in Pictures
Posted by AlCantHang | Filed under Bloggers on the Rail
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.

It was fine timing by the powers that be who run the National Heads-Up Poker Championship. Here in the states, fans are starting to pick up their NCAA College brackets not long after they a field 64 poker players ran through their own tournament bracket. It could not have been easy to narrow so many top players down to just 64, and I’m sure there were some players who felt passed over, but you can’t argue with too many of the selections.

durrrr Challenge update and Patrik Antonius interview
Posted by AlCantHang | Filed under Bloggers on the Rail
It’s been a crazy week in exhile where internet access has been sketchy, travel situations bordering on unbelievable, and my final destination which might prove harmful to my mental health. But that doesn’t mean things have ground to a halt in the poker world.
Since my sudden disappearance fromn the online world we’ve seen Huck Seed win the NBC Heads-Up Poker Championship (continuing the domination of Full Tilt pros in the event), the Battle of the Bloggers 4 rolls along like a beast, Big Money Sunday continues to draw huge numbers for the guarantee events and the Full Tilt Poker Academy is really taking off.

This week’s match is another 4 seed versus 13 seed clash, with Huckleberry “Tall, skinny, and dazed is no way to go through life” Seed taking on Keith “I might be the only person alive who thinks 7-card stud is cool” Sexton. This match should be, umm, really exciting. I can’t wait, really. I might’ve just pissed my pants a little bit I’m so stoked for this one. Let’s get it on:
