Hey! Hey Look Over Here! WPT Foxwoods World Poker Finals Down to 10

by Wicked Chops Entity on 11.10.2008 in Poker News,Tournaments,World Poker Tour | no comments

Since there are some big names remaining (including one of our favorite nicknames and one we just retired), we’ll go ahead and report that only 10 are left at the WPT Foxwoods World Poker Finals although we know your attention is likely focused elsewhere.

Mike Matusow not only holds the chip lead, stacked at 1,857,000, but he also won his first Blue Diamond Almonds Bold Player of the Day (video below). Now Mike can enjoy delicious almonds for a year– a healthy food alternative for a guy who cleaned up, dieted, and has turned his life around. It’s a classic win-win situation right there.

Jonathan Jaffe, who has been at or near the top of the chip lead the entire tournament, is stacked second overall with 1,780,000. Also still alive are Jonathan Little (1,407,000) and David "The Dragon" Pham* (1,242,000).

Get a full recap here.

U.S-American Dan Harrington Wins WPT Legends of Poker For $1.6M, Can Now Buy 88,888 New Green Caps, Such As

If we wrote for Card Player, we’d probably start this post by saying something like, "It’s only fitting that a true legend of poker won the WPT Legends of Poker at the Bike."

JctranBut instead, we’ll write this like Miss Teen USA South Carolina, which is pretty much the same thing.

I personally believe that 1995 WSOP Main Event champ "Action" Dan Harrington who is from the U.S. America, has claimed his first WPT title, winning the Legends of Poker at the Bike, such as.

Harrington defeated David "The Dragon" Pham*, who is from the Asian countries. Such as for the win, Harrington banks $1.6M which he will hopefully be like Barry Greenstein and spend on charity in the South Africa so they can buy maps because children are our future.

With the second place finish, the Pham now moves into first place in the Card Player’s the POY standings, replacing the J.C. Tran (at right), who has spectacular breasts. I personally believe that having spectacular breasts is some-a, something that all children should aspire for, because spectacular breasts are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way.

Watch the WCP fave Kimberly Lansing’s interview with the always cheerful Harrington here, as he explains why he wears all of those green caps. Get all final results here.

Joe Sebok Does Not Make WPT TV Final Table; WPT Confirms That David “The Dragon” Pham* Is Not a Real Dragon

Earlier in the week, we noted the underrated good work of WPT tournament reporter Kimberly Lansing. And kind of like Flight of the Conchords or Keely Hazell wearing short shorts, the more we watch, the more we like.

Right before the WPT Legends of Poker final table went from 9 to 6, Lansing confirmed something we’ve been reporting for years but has somehow gone unnoticed by the so-called "mainstream" poker media: that David "The Dragon" Pham** is not a real dragon. Watch that video below. Pham however is at the TV final table, making it in as the short-stack.

Not joining him is Joe Sebok, who finished 7th in a WPT main event for the second time in 2007. Peter "Nordberg" Feldman finished 13th.

The chip leader going into final is that damn Tom Schneider guy, who also captured 2007 WSOP POY honors. Schneider is stacked at 3,495,000. In second is Dan Harrington with 2,230,000. Thu Nguyen (1,475,000), Shi Jia Lu (have fun with that name Mike Sexton — 1,305,000), Mike McClain (725,000), and the aforementioned Pham (475,000) round out the final table.
