Playing in his 101st WPT event, the funniest poker pro on Twitter, Erik Seidel, is the Day 1A chipleader at the WPT London, bagging 226K . In fourth is 9-time WPT final table-ist Phil Ivey with 146,200. Huck Seed will be coming back tomorrow with 93,400.
Also making it to Day 2 is Victor Victorovich Ilyukhin with 80k. No idea who that is though.
Day 1B is underway now at the Palm Beach Casino, in London, and it will surely draw more entrants than yesterday’s anemic 72 runners. No doubt the EPT Villa-whatever going on in Portugal has affected the turnout, as well as players saving their buy-ins for the the upcoming WSOP Europe. And somehow UK hottie Victoria Moore is to blame.

WPT Royal Flush Girls Damn!!!, Damn!!! Damn!!! and Damn!!! (from left to right, above)
The first-ever WPT London kicked off Day 1A today in the aforementioned London, and while the £5k buy-in event is drawing a smallish field, a decent amount of “notables” are in the mix today including Phil Ivey, Luke Schwartz, Andrew Robl, Praz Bansi, the awesomely named Dragan Galic*, 2009 November Niner James Akenhead and playing in his 100th WPT event, Erik Seidel. Get updates here.
In somewhat related, more important WPT news, check out these photos above/below of the Royal Flush Girls we found while searching for something we completely forgot what we were searching for once we found these photos of the Royal Flush Girls.
We’d love to make this post more interesting by telling you that Victoria Moore walked on stage during heads-up play at the WPT Legends of Poker and began a hardcore lesbian make-out session with the Royal Flush Girls, causing a 45-minute stoppage of play as spectators ogled in sheer delight, which was then unexpectedly followed by an impromptu appearance and concert by Justin Bieber that culminated with none other than Osama bin Laden joining the precocious teen on-stage for an encore of “Baby” and that when the song wrapped, the terrorist confessed that he was in fact behind 9/11 and then Jeff Madsen–who was playing keyboard during the Bieber tracks–made a citizen’s arrest on ObL and we immediately withdrew our troops from Afghanistan–but unfortunately nothing that compelling happened.
Instead, Andy Frankenberger defeated Kyle Wilson heads-up to win the WPT Legends of Poker title, $750,000, and a seat into the WPT Championship.
The Royal Flush Girls indicate the number of people you've never heard of at the final table.
Blah.
The WPT Legends of Poker at the Bike has produced some big-name winners. Doyle Brunson. Dan Harrington. Prahlad Friedman. Joe Pelton (where’s he been?).
Not so much this year.
Andy Frankenberger leads the TV final table, stacked at 3,015,000. You may remember Frankenberger from nothing. Although he did have a six-figure score by winning a Venetian Deep Stack earlier this summer.
Frankenberger is followed by Tom Lee with 2,915,000.
Very friends and family final tableTM. It’s possible you’ve heard of 2008 Legends final tabler Kyle Wilson (2,854,000) and Jared Jaffee (1,006,000)–but then again, you’ve probably only heard of them if your name is Kevmath or B.J.
Jonathan Little contemplates what Victoria Moore looks like minus a few more articles of clothing.
With 15 remaining at the WPT Legends at the Bike, Jonathan Little finds himself in position for another World Poker Tour title, stacked second overall.
Little (1,314,000) only trails Andrew Frankenberger (1,958,000). Many of the big names who cashed got KO’d fairly soon after the money bubble burst, including “Salty” Joe Hachem (43rd), Soi Nguyen (34th), Joe Sebok (32nd), and Erica Schoenberg, a woman (30th).
Did a dinner break episode of the Wicked Chops Podcast with Jeff Madsen and Jessica Welman. We stayed away from 9/11 conspiracy talk because we didn’t want to make Madsen look bad we’ll just save that for another time…but we talked about Madsen’s rise, his influences, and his getting his act together recently. Lots of [...]
