John Kalmar Busts Out in 5th - WSOP 2007

Breaking News! Two WSOP final table players went all in, and Jerry Yang was not involved! The all in moment involved John Kalmar of the United Kingdom, and Raymond Rahme of South Africa.

Kalmar pushed his stack all in preflop, and was called by Rahme, who showed the same hand Yang took out Khan with, pocket jacks.

The fans went crazy, each shouting for their chosen player, the jacks held, and the Rahme fans raised the roof!

Kalmar didn't do to bad either though, being one of the final five at the World Series of Poker final table, he is the first to cash for more than one million dollars, taking home a total prize of $1,255,069. That win ought to make entry into the World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) this September a pretty easy choice.

"It was so great," Childs said minutes after his elimination "The best day of my life is when I got married, and this is probably the second."

Childs was staked into the WSOP by his father, Bill who joined him from the rail at the event, not a bad investment at all.

Current Final Table Chip Counts:

Jerry Yang: $65,425,000
Raymond Rahme: $29,100,000
Alex Kravchenko: $17,950,000
Tuan Lam: $15,000,000

All soon to be millionaires.

QUICK! I need a hat, shirt.. tie.. sock.. Bodog Gear!

All Aboard the Bodog Bus!

Earlier this year Harrah's made an announcement that .net online gambling sites marketed towards American online gamblers would not be invited, or allowed to host player lounges at the 2007 World Series of Poker.

Well we have to give Bodog props here, the online poker room definitely worked with their sour grapes, invented an awesome marketing strategy, and an experience poker players will remember. Mission accomplished, and without sharing any marketing dollars with Harrah's.

Bodog has introduced their new pimped out Bodog Players only bus! The sexy Bodog Players Lounge ... bus will be hosting the party in Vegas July 4th through July 17th, amongst the buses unique amenities are plasma televisions, drinks (what would a great big party bus be without liquor!), sexy Bodog poker mama's, PowerBooks (including net access).

If you played at Bodog poker, and earned your WSOP seat via one of their many satellite games, you'll automatically have an invite to visit the bus, as will your friends and family! For those of us not fortunate enough to actually be playing in the WSOP, sporting Bodog gear will get you in, which leads me back to the title of this Post, does anybody have some Bodog gear I can borrow!
