Three of four players left at the World Series of Poker main event early Sunday had tasted the lead at the final table as they traded chips and wagered their tournament lives in hopes of a multimillion-dollar payday.
As you all have probably heard, Phil Ivey didn’t exactly want to do a bustout interview after his AK lost to Darvin Moon’s AQ. But as he tried to sneak out the back hallway — to the back lot at the Rio where his RV and Hummer were parked — a few people were able [...]
Pauly and I look further into drinking with Padraig Parkinson, and in general what it means to be at the WSOPenn and Teller Theater at about midnight with seven players still remaining.

With seven World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets and more than $10 million in career earnings, Phil Ivey is considered one of the best poker players in the world. Now,...
This time short-stacked Phil Ivey got it all-in with AK vs. Darvin Moon’s AQ. The crowd has erupted to chants of “I-VEY, I-VEY, I-VEY!” Ivey tries to hold back a smile … biting into an apple to hide his smirk. UPDATE: And ooooh, Pokerati’s fave final table dealer Linda Tran delivers a Queen in the door. [...]

Well, if you told me going into the day that I'd end with 760k, I'd have taken it. But I actually went on a rush very early and got up to 860k by the first break, winning a QQ/AK race, then flopping a set against aces. My peak was 1.3 million or so when I played a big pot against Soheil, but then doubled him up when he flopped trips (with 82o in a raised flop, heh) and now he is the chip leader again....
So, while the US passed health care reform tonight, I'm celebrating with a SnG on Full Tilt. I wanted to play one of my favorites... the 90 player turbo deep stack knock-out SnG, but that's a little too much commitment for this sleepyhead. Several people have inquired if I'm going to Vegas this December for the bi-annual blogger tourney. I was planning to go, but recent developments have me thinking...
As the PokerRoad boys say, “If you can’t take the best of it, take the worst of it.” For Kevin Schaffel, that meant getting all in preflop with pocket Aces vs. Eric Buchman’s pocket Kings and losing to quads. Live poker is most certainly rigged. I was standing on the balcony as the hand played out and [...]
Benjo joins us all the way from France … and boy, have you ever heard our favorite poker Frenchman so excited before? That’s what happens, apparently, when Darvin Moon attempts to make a play … and let’s face it, always a better episode when Benjo’s in studio. Episode 3: For Those about to Rock, We Saout [...]

You’ve never been to a poker tournament like a World Tavern Poker Open. This isn’t your uneventful, lackluster tournament with a sea of serious poker faces, a drone of chip stacks shuffling and the occasional outburst from a painful suck out.
