For all we know this guy on the right could be Brian Schaedlich, the current chipleader.
In big-name big news 2008 WSOP Player of the Year Erick Lindgren just saw his redunkulous 2008 World Series of Poker come to an end after the dinner break on Day 2A. Our live reporter was on hand to witness the hand E-Dog busted out on and here’s how it went down: Lindgren played a hand and ended up getting all of his chips in before it was over and he lost.
In no-name big news a guy who his friends and family call Brian Schaedlich and everyone else refers to as “hey you” is the first player to cross the half a million mark, or about 3% of what the average chip stack will be at the final table in November. Just in case he Jamie Golds this tournament we’ll mention his name again. It’s Brian Schaedlich, and apparently he qualified via a $135 satellite.
In not-so-related news, Keeley Hazell and Vikki Blows.
Known internally around here as the Official 2008 WSOP THO girl, our most prolific railbird of this year’s world series returned today to rail some dude one table over from Thor Hansen. We learned a little more about her from a trusty source of ours. Apparently she’s a dancer over at Treasures on the weekend and works at Diablo’s Cantina during the week. Based on the shirt she’s wearing above, the latter seems true. As for the former, we’ll look into it this Friday night.
Check out the best of THO girl here, here and here.

Kathy Liebert (with headphones above) is hot right now at the 2008 WSOP Main Event.
Poker player Kathy Liebert gets a little too much shit for the velour suits and general urban housewife look. Truth be told, she dresses no differently than many of her schlub male counterparts. However, Liebert has never looked as good as she does in the above photo.
Relatedly, she’s looking good in the chips department right now with over 100k before the dinner break on Day 2A.

Hi girls, we’re Wicked Chops Poker. Pretty sure we’ve met before in a fantasy of ours.
The Last Woman Standing at the 2007 WSOP Main EventTM Maria Ho did a stellar job getting our attention today when she showed up with an entourage of railbirds that included three of her hot friends (pictured above) and her super hot sister Judy (not above but on the right in this pic). Calling themselves Maria’s Hoes, the four of them were decked out in tummy-bearing tees that read “I Heart Maria Ho” and on their backsides a tiny, well-placed Bodog patch you can get nice look at here.
Check out our Girl on Girl interview with Maria here.
For a different kind of Ho at the 2008 WSOP, go here.
Loosely related, watch some Asian kids lip sync Eamon’s “I love them hoes” here.
