Tilt on Tilt Violence
Posted by AlCantHang | Filed under Bloggers on the Rail
They’re heading into Day 2 of the second event of the 2009 World Series of Poker Europe and a Tilter is leading the way as they head towards the money. Only 158 players put down the £2,500 for the mixed Pot Limit Hold’em/Pot Limit Omaha tournament but they only dropped down to 24 players, with 18 of those making the money. Eric Cajelais will bring his intimidation back to play down to a winner. Cajelias is sitting with 145,000, also alive are Team Full Tilt are Howard Lederer and Vitaly Lunkin. Men Nguyen, Allie Prescott, and Hoyt Corkins are also in contention.
Here at The Borgata I am spending my time watching a bunch of grinder fight their way through to make the $925,000 payday along with the televised WPT final table. Getting down close the bubble we had two big Full Tilt pros battling it out against each other and entertaining the rail in the process. Bill Gazes joined the table with Gavin Smith and local poker legend “Joey the B” Brooks right up against the rail and things were entertaining. Until just before the dinner break. Smith and Gazes were both sitting with decent size stack when Smith 3-bet the preflop raise of Gazes. Push, call, and all the chips were in the middle with Smith holding AA and Gazes a lowly little pair of 6’s. No sweating involved as a 6 was waiting in the door.
Day 3 of the WPT Borgata Poker Open Championship where they’ll make the money and play down to 27. Still kicking around in the event we have Bill Gazes, Steve Brecher, Mike “GoLeafsGoEh” Leah, Justin “TooRoothlus” Levy (brother of “Roothlus), Kathy Liebert, Matt Brady, Michael Binger, Chris Reslock, and Lee Childs.

Heads Up: Erick Lindgren Versus Steve Brecher
Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Heads Up
It’s time for another round of the Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up Challenge, where we take 64 of our top pros and pit them against one another in a deadly game we like to call “synchronized swimming.” Or was that just a dream I had? Hard to tell. At any rate, this post is unlikely to feature any swimming whatsoever, just me drowning in my own words. This week’s match is another three seed versus 14 seed affair, with Erick “I’m probably cooler than you are” Lindgren taking on Steve “I wear my sunglasses at night” Brecher. You can check out the full bracket below, let’s get ready to rumble:
