Perry Friedman rocks the Full Tilt Poker “grill” to go with his corn rows

I’ve generally stuck to doing a “Week in Pictures” during the preliminary events of the WSOP but I now realize that I’ll be getting more photos than I know what to do with now that we’ve come to the Main Event.  So now we’re going to switch up to daily posts as long as we continue to get quality images.

Day 1a started with 1,116 and finished with 821 players.  A good number of Team Full Tilt survived to see Day 2.

2009 World Series of Poker – The Week in Pictures

In my other life as a completely unprofessional blogger (I am semi-pro at best in this space), I always take the stand that posting nothing but pictures on your site is just the crutch of a weak blogger.  Words are hard, pretty picture keep the masses coming back.  However, pictures can have the great effect of enhancing a story and I’ve been getting some top shelf images sent my way via Images Masters.  Each Friday I’ll share with you some of the best images available.

Reader Mail: Turn Off The Doomswitch

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a Panamanian bloodsucking grill-toothed wombat? No, wait. It’s just some good old-fashioned Reader Mail. We apologize to anyone who was looking forward to petting the wombat, but what the hell were you expecting? Go visit a fucking zoo. At any rate, on to the madness – email us at pokerfromtherail@fulltiltpoker.com with any questions, comments, or funny animal names that you’ve made up yourself.

Yang-tastic!

Poker’s royalty turned out in force at Pure in Caesars Palace last night for the annual tradition that is the National Heads-Up Poker Championship draw party. For the uninitiated, this is Poker’s version of the Ocsars – well maybe, the People’s Choice Awards – but whatever. The thing is, this is the night where the game’s top players gather together to find out who they’ll be facing in the first round of what has become one the game’s most prestigious events.
