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 Day 31 – And the HORSE you rode in on
Posted by AlCantHang | Filed under Bloggers on the Rail
Today begins the unofficial final run towards to the end of the 2009 World Series of Poker by kicking off the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. event. Most players have been grinding away for a month in the various games offered but only the big guns and lucky satellite players will be starting up today at noon.
The orange section of the Amazon Room has been configured differently for this tournament. Every other table has been removed to allow more space between the players and perhaps make it easier for the masses on the rail to view their favorite player. The fans will be out in force today.
This is one of the most prestigious events at the World Series of Poker with the huge buyin and the different skills needed to navigate the field. Players will start with a whopping 150,000 in chips, super structure and 90 minute levels. A small field that will take 5 days to play down to our new champion.
In addition to the H.O.R.S.E. tournament today, we will have a bracelet awarded in $2,500 Mixed Hold’em where Allen Cunningham came just short of the table. Day 2 begins for the $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha/8 where they are just 15 players short of the money and Full Tilt pro Perry Friedman is the chip leader. Our other new tournament of the day is on the opposite end of the spectrum, a $1,500 LIMIT Shootout tournament.
I expect to watch a full stable of Full Tilt pros sitting amongst the 100+ H.O.R.S.E. players looking to take home the Chip Reese Memorial Trophy.

2009 World Series of Poker – Week 3 in Pictures
Posted by AlCantHang | Filed under Bloggers on the Rail
It was another great week for Team Full Tilt. Final tables were populated with players patched up in FTP gear and make a lot of noise. Three bracelets would be brought into the fold by Phil Ivey, Nick Schulman and Greg “FBT” Mueller. If the rest of the poker world wants to catch up, they better start working hard.
It’s Friday so that means it’s time for the Week in Pictures. These are just some of the collection that did not make any posts during the week but are worthy of your time
View of the final table of Event #27 Pot Limit Omaha/8. Three Full Tilt members were present but Roland De Wolfe would defeat Omaha-guru Scott Clements for the title.

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.

Heads Up: Phil Ivey Versus Perry Friedman
Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Heads Up
Welcome to the Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up Challenge, where we take 64 of our top poker pros and pit them against one another in a “March Madness” style tournament bracket. Over the coming months, the field will be whittled down one by one until we’ve determined a winner. For those of you who are confused and came to this page thinking this has something to do with poker because it’s called a “Heads-Up Challenge,” we apologize. False advertising, ain’t it a bitch?
