According to German newspaper Bild, a 21 year-old suspect in the EPT Berlin armed robbery turned himself in to authorities on Monday night. He did not snitch the whereabouts of the other three suspects or where the money is, because as everyone knows: you don’t ever fucking snitch.
While the name of the terrorist alleged perp that turned himself in wasn’t released, the names of the other three people so-called authorities are looking for were: Mustafa Ucarakus, JIHAD Chetwie and Ahmad El-Awayti (who according to Pokerati has now been arrested).
Jihad? Really? Kid isn’t effing around there. Pretty much assuring he’ll be on every no-fly list the rest of his life.
In related news, Jeff Madsen has already claimed that the robbery didn’t happen and it was all a Government conspiracy.
Phil Hellmuth would be among the mortal locks for inclusion in the TOC all-star balloting.
The World Series of Poker has been trying to perfect its Tournament of Champions event for years. Announced yesterday, its latest incarnation is a hybrid of a traditional TOC and an all-star game. Here are the basics:
27 players compete in a $1M freeroll (<–great they’re doing this, btw). The entire final table gets paid, and the winner banks $500,000.
5 automatic bids to previous TOC winners (Annie Duke, Mike Matusow, Mike Sexton) and previous year’s WSOP and WSOPE ME winners (Joe Cada, Barry Shulman).
20 spots filled out by fan voting. In order to qualify for fan voting, you must have won a bracelet (Sorry Gus, durrrr…)
Not a bad idea by the powers that be at the WSOP. First, it gives some money back to the players. Second, it gets some fan participation going. Third, it gives us another potentially high-profile WSOP TV event, which felt somewhat missing last year.
Interestingly, Russ Hamilton was left on the ballot. Russ, who hasn’t been seen in public since this ambush, was NOT invited tot he special WSOP ME winners-only event last year.
Vote for your top 20 at the wsop.com site here and let us know who you picked.
11-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth had his sights set on his first WPT title but failed to rack up the win.
While the biggest story line heading into the final table of the WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star was whether 11-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth would finally win his first ever WPT title, another lesser noticed but equally monumental story was if a member of the Davidson Matthew Club could once again take down an event, returning glory to the guys whose first names are last names and last names first and who seemingly won every other tournament a few years back.
In the end it was the latter that played out as Hellmuth exited early in sixth and the newly inducted Davidson Matthew Club member McLean Karr went on to take down the tournament and its $878,500 first place prize.
In second was the doubly first named Andy “BKiCe” Seth ($521,200), who entered the final table as the chip leader and runner-up’d last summer in an event at the 2009 WSOP.
In third was Dan O’Brien ($292,800). And no, not this Dan O’Brien.
Mia Rosing may not be Megan Fox but could she be isildur1?
Remember the girl in this post who we said was Megan Fox? Well it turns out she isn’t Megan Fox, she’s Danish model Mia Rosing.
Apparently she had everyone fooled which goes to show that minor details like “her name” and “who she is” are irrelevant when looking at a hot girl on all fours.
While we try to comprehend the fact that there are two girls on this planet as smoking hot as Megan Fox, go ahead and check out the photos below of this week’s Friday Night Parting Shot Girl Mia Rosing.
