Phil Ivey Short-Stacked Among Final 12 at 2012 Aussie Millions

by Wicked Chops Entity on 1.27.2012 in Poker Tournaments | no comments

Miranda Kerr dressed as Wonder Woman is not as sexy as Phil Ivey dressed as Wonder Woman. Wait...hmmm...no not as sexy.

With 12 remaining at the 2012 Aussie Millions Main Event, Yann Dion is the chip leader, stacked at 2,670,000.

But enough about Yann Dion. Let’s get on with IVEY WATCH 2012TM.

Phil Ivey, who you may recall is playing this event, finished the day as the short-stack with 699,000. Can Ivey double-up, chip-up, and make a run at the 7-man TV final table? Cue: Asia.

The closest thing to another “notable” remaining would be WSOP bracelet winner Daniel Idema with 1,840,000. Lee Nelson is in position to be this year’s David Gorr, as he’s stacked at 1,651,000.

Twelfth place pays $100,000 AUD. First banks $1.6M AUD.

They’ll play down to 7 on Saturday. Get full chip counts here.

Player Reactions to Chris Ferguson Secret FTP Account Story

by Wicked Chops Entity on 1.26.2012 in Poker News | no comments

Chris Ferguson has seen better days. Although this probably wasn't one of them either.

Subject:Poker dropped a thorough investigative piece on Wednesday detailing Chris Ferguson‘s [not so] secret [anymore] bank accounts with Full Tilt Poker/Pocket Kings.

Give it a read here, but the gist is Ferguson moved a lot of money between accounts, loaned Tilt a bundle of cash post-Black Friday, bought shares from many a shareholder, and is potentially keeping the skids on the Groupe Bernard Tapie deal from going through.

Player reaction to the story via Twitter was expectedly harsh. Some notable remarks:

Jonathan Aguiar:

Given recent reports detailing Chris Ferguson‘s transgressions at FTP I assume @WSOP will be covering his banner in the future

Gavin Griffin:

I’m disgusted, I used to like Chris

Brian Hastings:

Please no

Short-Stack Shamus:

Chris Ferguson‘s lawyer having the name Imrich is the uncanny-name-bookend of Moneymaker starting it all.

The biggest arrows though were flung by WPT Raw Deal host Tony Dunst:

If Chris Ferguson shows his face in poker again I’ll happily be the first one to drive a stake through that piece of shits ankle.

I’d bring retribution to Lederer too if I weren’t so confident that the fat fuck will eat himself to death if he has any money left.

Expect absolute bedlam to ensue if Ferguson actually does keep the Tapie-Tilt deal from happening.

Phil Ivey Stacked Second at 2012 Aussie Millions Main Event

by Wicked Chops Entity on 1.25.2012 in Poker Tournaments | no comments

"If I win this, I wonder if I'll reappear on the GPI, and if so, where?" ~ Phil Ivey, January 25, 4pm

PHIL IVEY.

That’s basically what the 2012 Aussie Millions Main Event is about right now.

With 74 players remaining at the Aussie Millions, Ivey, playing in only his third event since his self-imposed Full Tilt exile, finds himself stacked second overall with 778,500.

He trails only Tim O’Shea with 921,000.

Play stopped only two shy of the money, and 72nd place will bank $15,000 AUD. First will earn $1.6M AUD.

Other notables still alive include Jason Koon (667,500), David Steicke (453,000), and Minh Ngyuen (238,000).

WPT Royal Flush Girls Photoshoot

by Wicked Chops Entity on 1.24.2012 in Girls | 1 comment

During the WPT Five Diamond, the Royal Flush Girls got together for a bikini photo shoot.

Given that 90% of you readers have a penis, and on occasion you enjoy seeing hot girls wearing bikinis, and even the 10% of our readers who lack penises don’t mind seeing hot girls in bikinis (otherwise, why are you still coming back here?), we figured you’d probably like the above video.

Also:
- Is it just us, or are the RFGs getting more exotic looking?
- A blonde RFG just wouldn’t seem right at this stage.
- Isaac is still not the father.
- Falcon Henne.
