Mark Vos (above, bottom left) is currently sucking the soul…and chips…out of his opponents.

People are exiting the Rio Amazon room like someone took a dump in the middle of the floor. You almost can’t get them out of there fast enough. By the first break, we’ve already nearly 100 players.

Among the departed include Jean-Robert Bellande (who went out in dramatic fashion at the featured table, read about it on Tao of Poker), Iggy (same), and Jason Lester/Al Krux (same guy).

Some big movers & shakersTM on moving dayTM include poker pro Allen Cunningham, who moves up to third overall with 1,2M. Cunningham only trails the Mormony named duo of Jeremy Joseph Jingleheimer Schmidt his name is my name too (2,000,000) and Jeremiah Smith (1,480,000).

Also stacking up are Owen Crowe (1,200,000), Matt Matros (1,200,000), Gus Hansen (785,000), "Asian Tommy Lee" Tommy Le (764,000), and Mark Vos, a ginger (735,000).

Feature tabled Phil Hellmuth is also moving…but in the wrong direction…as he’s down to 180,000.

The poker hotties (or as they like to be referred to, The Over One Percenters) still competing for the coveted (and trademarkedTMTM) The Last Woman StandingTM crown include Evelyn Ng (410,000), Maya Antonius (330,000), Tiffany Michelle (200,000), Carmel Petresco (160,000), and Kara Scott (150,000).

This Girl Is A Fan

by Wicked Chops Entity on 7.10.2008 in Girls,Girls on the Rail | no comments

“Our Bluff column brings all the girls to the rail. And they’re like, it’s better than yours. Damn right it’s better than yours.”

If we had HellmuthianTM*-sized egos we’d assume this hot girl on the rail was doing what every other hot girl does when they open an issue of Bluff Magazine, they go straight to the Wicked Chops Poker page, laugh uncontrollably and say to themselves “This is the best thing I’ve ever read in a poker magazine or any magazine period. I can’t believe they write this stuff while sitting on the can. They’re geniuses. I want to bang them.”

But we’re humble guys.

Truth be told, she was in fact reading our “7 Things to Absolutely Not do at the 2008 WSOP” in the June issue of Bluff, which you can read online here.

More of the above below including one with that Moneymaker guy.

2008 WSOP Main Event Player Spotlight: Arnold Spee

Poker pro Arnold Spee is in this photo at the 2008 WSOP

Poker pro Arnold Spee, looking a bit like TJ Cookier sans glasses above, is today’s player spotlight.

Throughout the 2008 WSOP Main Event, we’re introducing you to poker players you may not know already who are doing well, or you may have forgotten, or for some reason caught our photographers eyes. Today we’re featuring Arnold Spee, who’s currently stacked at about what he started with on Day 1 so he’s probably the “All In and a Call” we just heard on the tournament floor. Good look Arnie.

From Agoura Hills, Calif., Spee bursted onto the poker scene back in March 2005 when he won the WPT World Poker Challenge in Reno, besting a final table that included Phil Ivey and Blair Rodman.

Spee is really tall.

Day 2A Table of Death?

by Wicked Chops Entity on 7.9.2008 in Girls on the Rail | no comments

Chau Giang, Cute Chick, Mark Vos and Hoyt Corkins (l. to r. above) on Day 2A of the Main Event.

Day 2A of the 2008 WSOP Main Event has been short on big name big stack players but late in the day over at Orange Table #35 we have perhaps the most intriguing line-up of notable pros seated together. Or maybe not. We haven’t been really paying attention.

Chau Chiang and Hoyt Corkins are both stacked just over 160k and Mark Vos, a ginger, has soul-stole his way to 184k.

Keep track of chip counts here. Bizarre boob tattoo here.
