Phil Hellmuth is in contention for that ever-elusive(TM) first WPT title.
While
Phil Hellmuth may have 11 WSOP bracelets and a NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship title to his credit, he’s still never one a
World Poker Tour event.
Maybe that changes this week. Could the re-evaluation of his game that Daniel Negreanu tweeted about last week be working this quickly?
With 27 players remaining, Hellmuth is the chip leader at the WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star, stacked at 550,000. He’s followed by Hasan Habib, who is still alive, with 496,000.
Other notables remaining include Nick Schulman (381,500), a near shoe-in for WPT Player of the Year now Faraz Jaka (332,500), Chau Giang (307,500), and NAPT Venetian winner Thomas Marchese (117,500).

Megan Fox has never denied being isildur1.
Lots of
isildur1 action in the nosebleeds on
Full Tilt again.
On Tuesday he logged a $1.4Mish winning session against Cole South and Brian Hastings. He just wrapped a brief encounter with Justin Bonomo and as of 3:00pm PST is waiting stationed at 6-7 tables waiting for someone to join him.
In March alone, isildur1 is up over $2M.
We briefly sweated isildur1 for the first time yesterday. About 99% of the comments were definitely people rooting for him, and about 98% of the comments had something to do with Brian Hastings weight issues. Even isildur1 got in on the ripping-Hastings action, at one time calling him a “stupid donk.”
Anyway, read more about isildur1’s latest session here.

J.C. Tran (above) ended Day 1B at the WPT Bay 101 in a familiar spot: among the chip leader.
In total, the
WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star event brought in 333 players to create a first prize of $878,500. This is down from 391 last year and a $1,025,500 top prize. Damn you, The Economy
TM!
Day 1B ended with Eugene Katchalov as chip leader, stacked at 131,500. Other notable big stacks for the day include but are certainly not limited to Scotty Nguyen (99,000), Sorel Mizzi (97,600), and the spectacularly-breasted J.C. Tran (93,100).

WPT Bay 101 chip leader Vanna Tea, a woman, likely has relatives who look like Nozomi Sasaki (above).
A total of 136 entered Day 1A of the
World Poker Tour’s Bay 101 Shooting Star event, with 56 making it to Day 2.
Vanessa Tea, a woman, ended the flight as chip leader, stacked at 143,900. She’s followed by Greg Mueller with 132,800.
Of the 17 “shooting starsTM” who started Monday, six survived (the aforementioned Mueller, Daniel Negreanu, Steve Brecher, half-man, half-amazing Freddy Deeb, Mike Matusow, and Yevgeniy Timoshenko). The aforementioned Timoshenko ended the day fourth in chips with 97,600. Scott Montgomery, who we thought quit, but maybe that was just blogging since he’s been grinding out some 2010 cashes, was fifth with 84,800.

Well played, sir.
About once a year or so,
2+2 or
donkdown produces an epic thread that you waste a good hour clicking through the pages and laughing your ass off.
On Saturday, a thread that started off as an epic fail: “Why Esfandiari can never beat Laak *PIC*” quickly was saved by 2+2’s photoshop kings, then officially took a turn towards epic status when FU_LUCK posted the above pic. From that point on, hilarity ensuesTM.
While the thread is losing some momentum now, you can still easily waste an hour of your day here.
