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...
Well this is interesting. While we can’t get any official word yet, we are hearing significant chatter among players and local Vegas gaming sources that the Palms casino may end up having to...
Looks likeGavin Smith is one helluva poker instructor.
Two nights before the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship began, Gavin Smith held a heads-up poker clinic for Orel Hershiser. While the ex-Dodger Cy Young Award winner had some general poker ring game background, he wasn’t as skilled in heads-up play.
Apparently Orel is a fast learner.
After impressive wins today against Allen Cunningham and half-man, half-amazing Freddy Deeb, Hershiser finds himself as this year’s Dancing with the Stars’ Shannon Elizabeth: that is, the unlikely quarter-finalist.
Hershiser will face Andy Bloch for a spot in the semis.
Phil Ivey continues his strong run of late. After capturing the WPT LAPC just a few days ago, Ivey now faces Gus Hansen in the day’s most anticipated match.
The two other quarter-final match-ups are Jonathan Little vs. two-time National Heads-Up runner-up Chris "Jesus" Ferguson. And our pick to win yet again, Huck Seed, who takes on David Benyamine.
The headline for this post should probably be “Erica Schoenberg and David Benyamine Are Getting Married” but after watching the PokerWire.com video of Ms. Allen and The Belly, the news of their pending nuptials didn’t quite jump out at us like the news that she regularly opens his mail. We don’t want to go into detail on why this is a bad idea, at least for us, just in case our current/first wives find out about this so-called “Internet” thing and discover our site, but let’s just say there’s a warning sign here for David and it rhymes with “rosy ditch.”
MANSION Poker, which once famously pissed the hell out of Full Tilt Poker with a press release, announced via a press release this week that it has signed French poker ace David Benyamine, who’s famously envied for being the lovah of fellow MANSION-er, Erica Schoenberg, who is famously hot, and that he’ll start repping the site starting November 24 at the Caribbean Poker Classic in St. Kitts, which we hear is in the Caribbean.
Commenting on his signing with MANSION, the two time WPT winner and seemingly the most regular regular of “The Big Game” (seriously when is he not there?) said, “I am enthusiastic about working with a gaming company that is driven to emerge as a leader in the high roller market for both online and land-based events, and I look forward to sharing the MANSION Poker experience with the best players in the world.”
The MANSION press release, by the way, says Benyamine’s age is 34, which must be in French years. Like kilograms to our pounds. So if a French person is 34 they’re really like 43.8 years old in American, which is what we’d guess David’s age was if we had to. Not that we’re experts at telling a person’s age, truth be told. Actually we suck at it and we’ll tell you a story about it but we have to check the statute of limitations first.
Ok, nevermind with the story.
You can learn more about David Benyamine by reading his cover feature in this week’s CardPlayer or by becoming his friend.
