The 2012 WSOP is just a few days away. Last year, the WSOP started off with a bang. On the first day of pro play, Phil Ivey issued a statement saying that due...
We’re two weeks out from when news originally broke about PokerStars acquiring Full Tilt Poker. While no officially announcement has come from either PokerStars or Full Tilt regarding the progress of the deal...
A deeply religious, ridiculously nice and philanthropic guy wins $8M in the biggest poker tournament of the year, when many pros considered him the worst player in the entire field? Even Hollywood couldn't make that up.
After a week of intense voting, we have our Jerry Yang movie title results.
A Mirrion to One: 46%
No Yahoo: 4%
Flop, Turn, Jesus: 22%
Without a Shadow of a Doubt: 2%
A Chip and a Prayer: 26%
There you go, Jerry Yang, A Mirrion to One. Let’s hope it gets done.
Biggest surprise in the results is that the Shadow title came in last. Jerry Yang’s The Shadow nickname is one of our all-time favorites in the industry.
Would you pay to see a Jerry Yang movie? No seriously.
In a recent interview on Short Stacked Radio, 2007 WSOP champ Jerry Yang dropped that talks are “in the works”TM on making his life story into a movie.
Not to shit in anyone’s cornflakes, but those types of talks happen all of the time in Hollywood. Seldom do they come to fruition.
However–if said talks did come to fruition–the Jerry Yang Movie Project would need a better/more creative title than that of the book from which it’d be adapted.
So our latest Wicked Chops poll proposes five choices. Please vote on the one you think is best. Feel free to add some of your own suggestions in the Comments after the jump–just don’t get overly Chink in the Armor with it.
This post has absolutely nothing to do with poker, but we were recently introduced to the show Impractical Jokers on TruTV.
The show is about four lifelong friends who like to fuck with each other. They set up various pranks and there’s sort of a loser every show who doesn’t complete the most aforementioned pranks.
The above clip has some pure gold. Particularly go to about the 4:20 mark (wassup Pauly!) and watch the mall caricature segment.
In completely unrelated news, Full Tilt still isn’t operational and no one has received any money back from them. Maybe they’re playing an impractical joke on us all.
Yeah, there are some obvious jokes, but let's see how creative you can be. Caption this...
Been awhile since we’ve done a Caption This.
The above photo is of Bill Perkins at the 2012 PCA High Rollers (photo credit: Neil Stoddart and Poker News). Clearly, there are some obvious jokes you could make, but let’s see how creative you can be.
We’ll select one winner from the Comments for a free subscription to Wicked Chops Insider.
