At last! Leave it to durrrr's girlfriend's friend to give us our first slam dunk 2009 WSOPE Girl on the Rail.
Our new
Official Pick to Win It,
Howard Lederer, almost made good on our pickage of him today by capturing
WSOPE Event #3 (£5,000 Pot Limit Omaha). However, Lederer fell just short, as he lost heads-up to
Jani Vilmunen.
For the win, Vilmunen banks £204,048. Lederer takes home £126,134, or as he probably likes to call it, “a day’s worth of interest.”
We’re still waiting to see WWSTTM on his good buddy falling just short. We’ll keep you posted.
In related news, we’re posting our Girls on the Rail Hall of Fame voting next week (finally). Will durrrr’s girlfriend’s friend make the cut?

Sarah makes us quickly forget about the UltimateBet scandal.
We first saw Sarah from UltimateBet outside the ropes sweating the second featured table. Our photographer then began stalking her like he stalked the girl up in Ontario that filed a restraining order on him back in ‘01 (and ‘03, ‘05, and ‘07, he’s got a thing about odd years). Let’s just say that if a girl whose name rhymes with “Rennifer” in Ontario goes missing, there’s a barn with a white tin roof in Edmonton on a lake that’s frozen with a few holes used for ice fishing that you might want to get to…quickly.
Anyway, lucky for him us and you, Sarah turned out to be super cool and went outside with us for a few more pics. She kind of looks like Bridget from the Girls Next Door in that fourth thumbnail.
In related hot blonde news, this new UFC Octagon girl Natasha Wicks isn’t so bad either.

Jack Link's Beef Jerky is juicier than other beef jerky.
We thought we had our fill of Jack Link’s Beef Jerky but just now that urged kicked in again. Except this time we’re craving a juicier variety than before. Not sure why. Maybe it’s the way it’s packaged, wrapped all tight and snug accentuating the tasty goodness underneath. And not that we didn’t like the last jerky we had. Or the Teriyaki flavor jerky before that. Just right now, the meatier the better.

Watch Girls on the Rail Hall of Fame with Jason Alexander, Brad Garrett and Gavin Smith on RawVegas.tv
We’re just about a week away from putting our Girls on the Rail Hall of Fame up for vote. We view the first edition of the GOTR HOF kind of like the baseball version…we are looking for the transcendent Girls on the Rail. The Babe Ruth (except hotter and skinnier) or Ty Cobb (except minus the blinding racism) of GOTRs. The ones that either took the poker community by storm or reached out further into mainstream press. The induction will be a combination of your votes and the Entities. But again, more details to come.
In the above vid, Jason Alexander, Brad Garrett (whose girlfriend quickly catapulted herself into the potential nominee and inductee stratosphere), and Gavin Smith weigh-in with their thoughts.

Nice. Very nice.
Meet Brad Garrett’s girlfriend, Isabella.
Isabella has disavowed the concept of the “bra.”
And for that, we thank her. Bras are overrated. They’re not needed. Like newspapers or the CBS Evening News, bras are yesterday’s news. A thing of the past.
However, not every girl realizes this yet, which kind of makes Isabella a pioneer. She’s like a modern day Lewis & Clark. Except instead of being two dudes she’s just one girl. And instead of trailblazing the Western United States she’s just not wearing a bra. Otherwise though, it’s pretty much the same thing.

So this (likely) mother-daughter combo might've been on to us. But that's OK. Because they're twice the Girls on the Rail fun. Also twice the fun? Having double the chips as anyone else, like big stack Troy Weber (not pictured).
Listen, poker tournaments aren’t won on the first day. Except for the ones that are only one day long.
But as we’ve seen over the years, often times day one WSOP Main Event chip leaders don’t even make the money. However, it certainly doesn’t hurt to have chips. And after Day 1D, Troy Weber has about twice as many as anyone else, stacked at 353,000.
Weber has some small cashes in circuit events, but nothing on this big of a stage to date.
Plenty of big names among the Day 1D chip leaders. Carter ‘ckingusc’ King, the guy charged with marijuana possession around the Michael Phelps bong incident, has 170,000. Josh Arieh (136,500), Dutch Boyd (135,000), Prahlad Friedman (130,000), and Jon Kalmar (130,000) all made triumphant returns to the mainstream poker consciousness ending the day among the big stacks.
Other notable big named big stacks include but are certainly not limited to Blair Hinkle (116,000), the spectacularly-breasted J.C. Tran (113,000), David Benyamine (100,200), Kirk Morrison (95,000), Thomas Keller (95,000), Phil Ivey (67,000), and Kenny Tran (67,000).
Also advancing to Day 2B is FOWCP Dee Dozier (here, here and here), who is making her first return to the Main Event since 2007 and got off to a pretty good start with 51,500 in chips.
Not advancing are Michael Binger, Archie Karas, the Intense Stare of Scott Clements, Sully Erna, Ivan Demidov, Jeff Madsen, Phil ‘OMGClayAiken’ Galfond, Huck Seed, and Scotty Montgomery.
