Tom 'durrrr' Dwan (right foreground) is sweated by his if-Tara-Reid-didn't-do-tons-of-drugs-this-is-what-she'd-maybe-look-like-now girlfriend at Event #3 of the 2009 WSOPE.

Tom 'durrrr' Dwan (right foreground) is sweated by his if-Tara-Reid-didn't-do-tons-of-drugs-this-is-what-she'd-maybe-look-like-now girlfriend at Event #3 of the 2009 WSOPE.

Some quick updates from the 2009 WSOP Europe:

:: As we wrote earlier, Erik Cajelais won Event #2 (£2,500 Pot Limit Hold’em/Omaha), banking £104,677. Men “The Master” Nguyen finished fourth. Go to PokerListings here for an interview with The Master where he denies all of the cheating and chip dumping allegations from his past. Don’t know if we’ve seen him talk about that one before.

:: Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan is looking to clear forum rumors about his sexuality capture his first bracelet by bringing his hot-ass girlfriend to sweat him winning Event #3 (£5,000 Pot Limit Omaha). With 26 of the initial 154 starting field remaining, durrrr holds the chip lead. Other big named big stacks include Howard Lederer, Sandra Naujoks (a woman), Robert Williamson III, and Barry Greenstein. Get full reporting here (click the Live Reporting link). Side note: durrrr’s chick has a hot friend with her too…we’ll use her pic for a future update post.

:: And according to this tweet, it looks like Phil Hellmuth gets to make his grand Caesar entrance to the WSOPE Main Event too.

UPDATE: durrrr is crippled. Not like, Jimmy Vulmer crippled, but he lost a big pot after flopping top set. Will probably go out in 14th place after dinner break. Related, Jimmy Vulmer at his best here.

Erik Cajelais Wins Event No. 2 at 2009 WSOPE


Erik Cajelais

The Intense Stare of Scott Clements has finally met its match with Erik Cajelais.

Taking a page out of the Intense Stare of Scott Clements‘ book “How To Win Tournaments By Scaring The Crap Out Of Your Opponents,” Erik Cajelais of America Jr. has won Event No. 2 (£2,500 Pot Limit Hold’em/Pot Limit Omaha) at the 2009 WSOP Europe.

The 27-year-old unfortunate wearer of Ed Hardy apparel, who looks more like someone you’d see on MMAFix.com than a poker site, won his first WSOP bracelet by scaring the crap out of a final table loaded with multiple bracelet winners, including the always affable Men Nguyen, Hoyt Corkins, Chris Bjorin and Howard Lederer. Cajelais banks £104,677 for the win, or approximately $5.3M US dollars at the current exchange rate.

Men “The Master” Nguyen Going For Bracelet #7 in WSOPE Event #2


In our head, at least, this is what Allie Prescott looks like...

In our head, at least, this is what Allie Prescott looks like...

Ok we had this post written last night before play started, and since then, all around good-guy Men “The Master” Nguyen has been eliminated in fourth place in Event #2 (£2,500 Pot Limit Hold’em/Omaha). See, nice guys never win.

If our remedial math skills are correct, that leaves three remaining in Event #2. As of post time, Erik Cajelais is chip leader. Also remaining are Mats Gavatin and Robin Keston.

Some other news from around London from special correspondent Chris Tessaro of the Hardcore Poker Show:

:: Betfair has graciously backed Brit poker player Paul Zimbler and set him up with his own section at the Empire, as Paul is attempting to play heads-up poker for 80 straight hours to raise money for the Brit version of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Zimbler has been playing all comers, including the likes of Doyle Brunson (who donated 600 pounds cold hard limey cash, or approximately $7 million U.S. American dollars) and Phil Hellmuth. Zimbler has a carefully planned regimen to stay alert (including diet and nutrition), which is different than most Vegas fueled marathon sessions involving meth, coke, etc.

:: We’ve been wrong about her love life before, but rumors abound that Liv Boiree and Allie Prescott are dating. We first got really stoked on this potential hook-up because Allie sounds like a girl’s name and that would’ve been crazy sick hot. Unfortunately, Allie is male. In our imagination, however, she is still female and looks something like Evelyn Kazantzoglou (above and here).

:: Anticipating high stakes action, Empire arranged a private room, dealers, and a cash float of two million pounds. Total amount of high stakes poker played in the aforementioned private room to date? Zero.

:: Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan has a hot blonde girlfriend. See, we told you he wasn’t, well, you know…not that there’s anything wrong with that. Somewhat related, Phil Ivey and durrrr played the largest pot in TV history. [link]

:: Phil Hellmuth planned a big Caesar-like entrance to the Main Event again, but so far London officials have squashed it.
