Well Known Charities to Benefit from WSOP Win!

You might have guessed this years WSOP winner, Jerry Yang held it down at the final table, personally removing 8 of the 9 World Series of Poker final table contenders from the game.

Earlier I said perhaps it was skill, perhaps it was luck. Perhaps though, it was skill, mixed with a bit of good Karma ..

Jerry managed to fill in a gutshot straight draw in the last hand of the 2008 WSOP main event, a gutshot, meaning a six and only a six would win him the hand, and knock Tuan Lam out of the game.

Perhaps good deeds just do not go unrewarded, Jerry Yang previously pledged 10% of his WSOP winnings to three very worthwhile and well known charity organizations.

The Make a Wish foundation - Known for honoring wishes of dying children.
The Ronald McDonald House - Providing food and shelter to endless numbers of battered women and children.
Feed The Children - A Christian organization that provides food, medical care and educations to countless children world wide.

Jerry Yang, father of six, took home a prize of just over 8 million dollars ($8,250,000), knocking out Lam who won 2nd place in the tournament for a prize of nearly 5 million dollars ($4,840,981)

Raymond Rahme Busts out in 3rd, WSOP down to Heads Up Play!

The final four WSOP players played for eight hours before Alex Kravchenko finally busted out, swooping up a 4th place WSOP win, however, it took much less time to go from the final three, to heads up WSOP main event final table action!

Eight minutes in fact.

With an ace on the board, Raymond Rahme pushed all of his chips to the middle, Jerry Yang, who has been killing at this years WSOP final table, thought about the decision for a lot longer than many thought necessary, he held ace 5 and did eventually make the call. The turn and river cam blank and Raymond Rahme from South Africa ended his 2008 World Series of Poker adventure taking home just over 3 million dollars.

Be it luck, or be it skill, Jerry Yang has been burning up this years final table since taking his seat, of the 9 original final table contenders, only one of them was not removed by Yang.

The two remaining WSOP Bracelet contenders:

Jerry Yang in the lead with 104,450,000 chips and Tuan Lam with 23,025,000 remaining in WSOP tournament chips.

Alex Kravchenko eliminated from the WSOP in 4th

The final four players remaining at the World Series of Poker main event final table played for more then eight hours before one of them finally busted out. Alex Kravchenko was nothing if not patient, he got his chips in with a monster, big slick, and found himself up against, you'll never guess who, this years final table force, Jerry Yang.

To rub it in, fate layed down a third eight for Yang on the flop. The turn was no help, and left Kravchenko drawing dead at the river.

Alex won nearly 2 million dollars for his efforts, taking home a prize of $1,852,721.


Chip Counts after Kravchenko's departure:

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.

Raymond Rahme: $29,100,000

WSOP Chipleader First to Bust Out of Final Table

Hilm, who began his poker play at the WSOP final table was the first to bust out of the World Series of Poker Main Event Final Table. In less than two hours, Philip Hilm was eaten alive by the strong aggressive poker play of Jerry Yang.

The other WSOP final table players chose to stay tight, and let Yang do the work, and he did, pushing all in over and over again, taking down huge pots, and chipping away at the big stack brought to the table by Hilm.

Hilm decided to push back, can't have a monster every hand right? Only this time he did.

Yang bet out 1 million in WSOP tournament chips, Hilm and only Hilm called.

The flop:

King D
Jack D
Five C

Hilm checks, Yang bets 2 million. Hilm thinks his decision over for a minute, and then he calls.

The turn brought the 2 of hearts, Hilm checks again, Yang bets out 4 Million tournament chips, Hilm re-raises, all in.

With just a moments thought, Yang called, and turned over the ace of diamonds, and the king of spades. Hilm was definitely the dog, with just a pair of fives (8d/5d), and a flush draw. Hilm needed another 5, an eight for two pair, or any diamond to make a flush.

In the words of many poker players, "He had outs". The rail was quiet, the dealer paused a moment, and then flipped over both men's fate, the six of clubs, no help to Hilm, Yangs kings held up, and living proof, big slick can win. Hilm was eliminated from the WSOP in 9th place, with a total cash prize of $525,934. This hand left Yang with nearly a third of the remaining chips in play, a total of $45 million.

The next player to bust will take home $585,699.

The flop came blank for both poker players, 2/4/6, followed by a king, leaving Watkinson needing a seven and only a seven to win on the river. The river came jack, eliminating Lee Watkinson, who owns a chimpanzee rescue camp for chimps retired from laboratory testing in 8th place, for a WSOP main event win of $585,699.

Suit Filed Against Washington, Online Poker Ban 'Unconstitutional'

Last year, Washington State passed a law (SB 6613) that made online gambling a Class C Felony crime. Attorney Lee Rousso of Renton, Washington, alleges the bill to be unconstitutional and filed a suit against the state on Friday.

The lawsuit accuses SB 6613 of violating the Constitution's Commerce Clause and was enacted merely to benefit the 'brick and mortar'

establishments of the state. The lawsuit was accompanied by the release statement, "Most state attempts to regulate the internet run afoul of the Commerce Clause, and Washington's law, which was passed to protect the state's brick-and-mortar casinos from otherwise legal out-of-state competition, should be no exception."

Rousso is a veteran poker player and the Poker Player Alliance's representative in Washington State. He told a Seattle newspaper he believed his challenging of the law, the first so far, could very well be the last, "I think my chances are darn good."

Among Rousso's key points in the lawsuit, it specifically alleges State Senator Margarita Prentice, the writer of the original bill, accepted contributions from casinos in Washington, and that those casinos "were the intended and/or actual beneficiaries of SB 6613."

If declaratory judgment is laid down against the bill, the outcome Rousso is hopeful for, SB 6613 would become void and unenforceable. The Washington Gambling Commission chose not to provide a statement on the matter until the lawsuit could be reviewed by commission lawyers.

3- Denny Axel with $123,000
4- Katja Thater with $117,500
5- Paul "Eskimo" Clark with $88,500
6- Mark Vos with $84,500
7- Thomas Daubert with $54,500
8- Men "The Master" Nguyen with $35,000

The two short stacks, Daubert and Nguyen, traded places in the chip counts until Thater knocked both out on the same hand. Daubert finished in eighth place, and Nguyen moved up, based on starting chip count, to finish in seventh place. The next busted player was Vos, in sixth place, when his 9 low was undercut by Clark's 8 low. Nguyen and Vos were keeping the table light and laid back, so when they were both out, the game became more serious. Thater also knocked out the fifth place Axel when the sixth and seventh streets were paired against his hand.

Paul Clark overcame tremendous obstacles to make this final table. It was only days earlier that he had a stroke, and still entered the poker game with 340 other players to finish in the top 4. To see ‘Eskimo' return so quickly was a relief for the poker world as a whole.

Longson came in as the chip leader but could not capture another bracelet. After Longson was eliminated in third place, Thater and St. Jean were set up for heads-up play. After many hands back and forth Katja Thater finally overcame Larry St. Jean with 8-5-4-3-2. This made WSOP history, and ripples across the whole event.

Here are the final table results for the $1,500 razz event:

1- Katja Thater - $132,653
2- Larry St. Jean - $73,311
3- O'Neil Longson - $46,547
4- Paul "Eskimo" Clark - $31,186
5- Denny Axel - $24,204
6- Mark Vos - $18,386
7- Men "The Master" Nguyen - $14,197
8- Thomas Daubert - $10,473

Blair Rodman, Pro Gambler and Author Wins WSOP Bracelet!

Blair Rodman, professional gambler and author wins bracelet through a tough and varied sea of competitors.

In Las Vegas the winner of the $2,000 buy-in No Limit Hold’em championship was Blair Rodman, professional gambler and author. This is his first WSOP win. The 53 year old has been playing in the tournament since 1982.

Rodman co-authored the popular book, "Kill Phil" which explains counterstrategies designed to beat the best poker players in the world. Rodman is also active on the Ultimate Blackjack Tour, a televised "21" tournament.

Blair Rodman just about found himself out of WSOP. He was knocked out of the Omaha High Low from the previous date. He almost skipped the next day’s event because he was exhausted. "I got eliminated on late on the second day in Omaha," Rodman explained in a post-tournament interview. "I almost didn't play (in this tournament). If I would not have been knocked out of that Omaha High-Low event, I would not have been here. So, I guess getting busted in that event was a good thing!"

When the game came down to the final nine, Rodman was sixth in the chips stacks. With skill, he managed to survive and eventually took a decisive chip. The heads up play against Amato Galasso, a first time live event player, lasted for three hours. Through a series of see saw wins leaving Rodman to win the last pot of the night.

In his first poker tournament, Galasso won $448,808, a fantastic finish for a newbie to the world of live tournament poker.

A number of other notable events occurred in this game. Included in this Anna Wroblewski finished fourth, as the only the 6th women to make a final table appearance in an open event for the 2007 World Series. Katja Thater is still the only woman to win a gold bracelet this year in an open event.

In 9th place Mark McKibben, who entered the competition after winning a jackpot slots machine on this, his first visit to Las Vegas. The $2000 entry fee was posted with the winnings, and he continued deep into the game to finish with $42,655. That’s a vacation pay out many could enjoy.

T.J. Cloutier, a powerhouse in poker, finished in 17th place. He has won 54 WSOP cash payouts during his lifetime, including this match. This ranks him right behind Men Nguyen and Phil Hellmuth.

Even the entertainment industry did well in this match up. Jennifer Tilly, the oscar-nominated actress finished in 30th place. Rene Angelil, husband and manager of superstar entertainer Celine Dion, took 173rd place.

Many previous gold bracelet winners who finished in the top of this match up were – David Chiu (61), Rafe Furst (62), John Spadavecchia (107), Kirk Morrison (111), and James Mackey (138).

As the events approach their finish for the 2007 World Series, there have been new additions to the official ‘WSOP Millionaires Club”.

The newest members to join this exceptional group of player include: Thor Hansen, Jeffrey Lisandro, Burt Boutin, Freddy Deeb, Bruno Fitoussi, Fred Goldberg, Hans Lund, Tony Ma, William Thorsen and David Singer.

We have tickets!

Well, we may be sleeping on the street, and in search of food banks, but... we have tickets! We'll be taking a flight from Portland on the 5th, leaving at "Oh God - Thirty" and arriving in Vegas before noon!

My Mommy works for Mesa Airlines, she got us buddy passes, meaning we get to fly cheaper, not free, but LOTS cheaper, using her buddy passes. The flight will actually be a United Express flight I do believe, possibly an America West flight, as both code share with Mesa. For about $200.00 we're flying! No turning back now..









Thanks Mommy!

Online-Casinos.com

What's going on in the United States online casino arena? I've recently tried to play at ClubWPT and OH My Goodness it lags. You just cannot multi-table at all!

I've played a few (hundred) hands at Carbon and at Bookmaker, but  do not love it. I miss you Pokerstars! Actually, this random fellow that I play poker with at the casino from time to time messaged me on Facebook. The messages were pretty bizarre, so I checked out his profile page to see if he'd been hacked. Seemed he had not been hacked, what was more interesting though was that he seems able to play poker from the United States at PokerStars.

Currently, he's playing in the World Series. Awesome right?! So now I'm the girl that randomly knows a guy that played in the World Series. HA! What's worse, I'm kind of a big girl. Nah, I'm a BIG girl. If you're a big girl, you'll relate to what I'm about to say...

If you're big and you're friendly, people will come to the conclusion that you have a thing for them, often. If a fat girl is nice to you, she lusts after you. I dunno man, that seems to be the consensus. Or if you blog about a fellow, in any fashion, you're probably dreaming about him at night.

So I blogged about all the craps dealers at Chinook Winds one day, including Dana, and from then on, it was said that I had a big crush on him. I didn't find out for months, it was pretty funny!

I also went to a big event in Pendleton, and I did alright. So the guy from above placed pretty well, I think 1st or 2nd. I thought it was neat that he was from around here, and that I knew him, so I blogged his win... I bet you can guess the rest.

Owell, perhaps he can hook me up at PokerStars anyway.

Home Poker Games at PokerDIY

I was looking around online the other day for a home poker game, as I am sure I've mentioned here before, I already play a pretty great home poker game where I live in Virgina. Well I've been considering playing a few more a week, possibly a total of 4-5 in fact.



I travel to the casino once in awhile, but frankly, I tend to find better poker games hosted by friends and family. I enjoy the comraderie, getting to know the players, both skill wise, and personally, and the entire outing in general. Not to mention the payout, people really don't seem to mind losing a home poker game, which works out pretty wel for me, as I don't much mind winning them.

You'd be surprized how many people playing private poker games are really just there for the game, a place to hang out amongst friends, kick back, drink a beer or two, and in general, just have a good time, and the best part... they bring cash!

Anyway, during my search for a home poker game near my house, I ran across a really interesting blog post featuring PokerDIY, it connects blogs, not only did I visit PokerDIY by clicking the image below this post, I get paid when other people write about the same topic on their blogs, and then they get paid for blogging the topic as well, now being the entreprenurial person that I am, how could I pass this up?

PokerDIY lets visitors search for games near them, as well as set up and manage their own poker games. You can keep score, create a leader board and so on, in fact, it's a really cool site for bar leagues as well. The best part, I'll be trying out a few new poker games this week!

Online Casino Bonuses

I’m definitely a gambler. My favorite game online is poker, however, I’ve been known to visit a casino or two from time to time, and I just love a good casino bonus! I was perusing a few casino bonus pages the other day, looking for a good place to deposit some cash and spin a few reels on a slot machine, when I found a really groovy site.

Best Online Casino Deals offers hot bonuses including 15 minutes real money slot machine play absolutely free! They also have bonus codes for as much as $400 in free bonus money at some online casinos with great reputations.

The no deposit casino bonuses page is exactly what I was looking for! An opportunity to get my blood pumping, adrenaline racing, and take a stab at winning some real cash online, without actually spending a buck!

I will be honest though, I love this kind of bonus, but I am a depositor, what can I say. I generally win more than I spend, and I use sites like this one to give me a heads up on where to play, when to get the most out of my deposit, and to find the current payout percentages for popular online casinos. I like to try out a couple of the free spin deals, see if the slot machines are paying much, and then make the best deposit with the best possible bonus.

I don’t play what you’d call big stakes, but I do want to make sure I’m bankrolled high enough to bet the max and keep myself qualified for progressives and other jackpots, and the information available on this top free casino cash bonus offer page definitely gives me a head start on that path. Nothing like a bit of casino ambiance from my living room while I work ;)

Another great feature offered by the site is their fastest paying casinos page, especially with the absence of NETeller (the previously favored casino deposit method) in the United States. I have found that many online casinos, bingoes, and poker rooms are still accepting US Poker players, however, the time it takes them to get me my cash has considerably increased! This bit of information or really any information that says “Hey these guys are doing what they can to get us our gambling money ASAP” really boosts my confidence when it comes to opening an account at an online casino.

Orange and Maroon Effect Day

33 killed at Virginia Tech in worst rampage in U.S. history

I live in Virginia, I'm Hokie Fan, friends who are graduates...It was a shock to hear.

An unknown gunman opened fire today in a dorm and classroom at Virginia Tech. 33 people have been murdered, the gunman, who shot himself in the face, and is currently unknown, ended the killing by seemingly killing himself.

"Today the university was struck with a tragedy that we consider of monumental proportions," said Virginia Tech president Charles Steger. "The university is shocked and indeed horrified."

A list of victims is not expected to be released until Tuesday at the earliest, as authorities are currently identifying the dead, and notifying there families.

Authorities have stated that they are currently investigating motives, and believe that the first shooting was ‘domestic’. At this point they’re not sure if the gunman was a student at Virginia Tech.

2 of the killers victims were killed in West Amber Johnson Dormitory, and 30 more were murdered in an attack that occurred two hours later in Norris Hall. In addition to those killed inside the walls of Norris Hall, 15 more people were wounded.

The AP reported panic and confusion spreading throughout the campus, witnesses reported students jumping out of classroom windows to escape bullets flying through the classroom.

SWAT Team members armored with flak jackets, assault rifles and helmets spread out across the campus, while students and staff members personally assisted in brining their wounded out of the building to wait for ambulances to arrive on the scene.
