Team Tao of Pokerati Wins WSOP Dream Team Poker Tourney


Watch Dream Team Poker at the 2009 WSOP on RawVegas.tv

A big congratulations to Tao of Pokerati, the team consisting of Dr. Pauly and Dan Michalski, for taking down the WSOP Dream Team Poker event.

They collectively banked around $31k for the team prize, with Pauly and Dan adding another couple K for their individual efforts. Don’t be too surprised…if Jerry Yang can win the Main Event afterall…

In all seriousness, Pauly, Dan, and their teammate Lana Maier, a woman, have busted their asses in covering poker for years, so a well-deserved victory.

Finally, one of our freeroll winner, London Gallagher, a woman, final tabled for a seventh place individual finish. Not sure what it is about WCP freerolls, but we’ve got a good track record of people cashing in the events we put them in. Well done, London.

Day 2 of Dream Team Poker Underway, Team WCP II’s London Gallagher Representing


Lacey Jones' teammate Christina Hall was nice to look at while we briefly lasted yesterday.

Lacey Jones' teammate Christina Hall managed to outlast all three Entities in the Dream Team Poker Tournament yesterday. We'd like another shot at outlasting her though. In bed.

Day 2 of the WSOP Dream Team Poker tournament is underway with the final 27 players back to compete for both the individual and team title.

Still in the thick of it is our Dream Team Poker freeroll winner London Gallagher, a woman, who starts today with 125k in chips, putting her in 11th overall. Not still in the thick of it is Gallagher’s Wicked Chops Poker II teammates Susan Genard, a woman, and Shannon Hartman, a woman. They did however win a dinner with the Entities after busting out last night, so they do have that to go home and high five their friends about.

Speaking of, the Entities all busted before the dinner break, thus ruining our 118% average of at least one of us making a final table in a tournament that all three of us play.

The chipleader at the start of the day is Roberto Diaz (Team Reckless) with 332,000. Notables still in include pro Kenna James of Team Poker Host (140,000) and representing the so-called “poker media” Dan Michalski (113k) and Dr. Pauly (158k) of Team Tao of Pokerati. Everyone else needs to do something with their lives to make themselves better known. No idea who they are.

A total of 122 teams entered the event which if you multiply that by three on a calculator comes out to be a total of 366 runners. The total prize purse is $177,510 with the first place individual winning $16,473 and the first place team splitting $33,017 three ways.

More on the Dream Team Poker tournament over at Pokerati and Tao of Poker.

UPDATE: Congrats to Tao of Poker as they are the team winners. Unrelated, Christina Hall in a bikini.

UPDATE: They’re down to the final table and Team Wicked Chops Poker II’s London Gallagher is still in. Chip leader is some lady named Judy.

Dream Team Poker WSOP Event Tomorrow


We're not saying we'd sell out another Entity if Vikki Blows wanted to play on our Dream Team, but we'd sell out another Entity if Vikki Blows wanted to play on our Dream Team. Which means we said it. It's out there.

In case you forgot, Vikki Blows was the password to our Dream Team Poker WSOP freeroll. In case you forgot.

The WSOP is having its first Dream Team Poker event (non-bracelet) tomorrow. Pretty sure you’ll be able to follow the action here.

We played in the last DTP event in March, had a blast, and hope the WSOP eventually makes it a bracelet event.

Lots of pros are entered, including Daniel Negreanu (Team PokerVT), David Williams, Evelyn Ng, Justin Bonomo (Team Bodog), Barry Greenstein, Joe Sebok (Team PokerRoad.com), Gavin Smith (Team Zurvive), Barbara Enright, Paul Darden and David Levi (Team Random As Hell Team Bookmaker Poker), Jamie Gold, David Chicotsky, Lauren Kling (Team TheMaven VT), Bryan Micon, Dustin Woolf (Team Neverwinpoker.com), Captain Tom Franklin, TJ Cloutier (Team POB Captain Krunch), and Lacey Jones, Christina Hall (Kegslist.info).

Along with Team Wicked Chops, we’ll have a Team Wicked Chops II with our freeroll winners. We’ll have photos and vids from the tourney throughout the day and into Monday as we absolutely pwn the event.

In somewhat related news, the media event was held two days ago in a Dream Team format. In it, 1/3 of the Entities who comprise Wicked Chops Poker joined Lacey Jones to take the overall team title (although he contributed little to said victory).

MeLikeChips2009, PokrPrinses, London_G Win Dream Team WSOP Entry


Two women won spots into the WSOP Dream Team Poker event...two...out of three...no, seriously...

Two women won spots into the WSOP Dream Team Poker event...two...out of three...no, seriously...

More than 2,100 turned out last night for the WCP Dream Team Poker WSOP freeroll.

Congratulations to the winners. The WCP team #2 will consist of first place finisher MeLikeChips2009, and in an ironic turn of events, be filled out with PokrPrinses, a woman, and London_G, a woman.

And in an even more ironic turn of events, PokrPrinses (twitter page here) appears very GOTR-worthy.

We’ll be hooking up all three with an entry as our second WCP team. And if any cannot make it, then 4th place finisher angels4sure79 will take their place.

Finally, the first 50 people who go up to the Dream Team Poker booth at the Rio and mention they played in the freeroll will receive a free Dream Team Poker cap. So get on it.

UPDATE: Wait a second. So we’ve gotten some tweets on Twitter explaining that we screwed up above and that MeLikeChips2009 is actually Susan G. (aka @Ziggy_Susan on Twitter) and London_G is London Gallagher, who once competed in a WPT Ladies Night event. Now, we’re still confirming if PokrPrinses is @PokrPrinses (aka Shannon Hartman). Pretty sure it is. If so, then we have an all women team. Seriously. Out of 2111 entrants, the final 3 are all women.

This is a set up right?
