This girl single-handedly prettied up the massive field today in the $1k Stimulus Special Event.
:: Event No. 2 ($40k Special 40th Anniversary) – The big story here is Greg Raymer making a run at this showcase event celebrating the WSOP’s 40th anniversary. The tournament drew every big name and big bankroll in poker, and no doubt Raymer is really, really hungry . . . to have this title alongside his 2004 WSOP Main Event win. Down to the final four players, Raymer currently leads with 8,880,00 in chips. Just behind with 8,025,000 is Vitaly Lunkin, who is hoping to make a case for this to be The Year of the RussianTM. Young Internet ace Dani ‘Ansky’ Stern is stacked third with 4,755,00 and cleaned-up Isaac Haxton is fourth with 4,000,500. Gone from the final table are Ted Forrest (9th), Noah Schwartz (8th), Evy Ng’s boyfriend Lex ‘RaSZI’ Veldhuis (7th), Alec Torelli (6th) and Justin Bonomo (5th).
:: Event No. 3 ($1500 Omaha Hi-Lo) – Honestly, we kind of forgot about this event today but apparently they’re down to just seven players with Robert Price leading (1,620,000) followed by Ming Reslock (1,125,000), a woman. In third stealing souls is Jordan Rich (455,000), a ginger. Also still in is Thang Luu (400,000), who’s making an impressive third straight appearance at a final table in this event.
:: Event No. 4 ($1k Stimulus Special) – Day 1b of The EconomyTM Sucks event sold out, bringing the total of runners to 6,012 and making it the largest non-Main Event field in poker history. 621 of those players will cash with first earning $771,338. Some notable players with chips at the dinner break include Jimmy Fricke (20,500), Andrew Scott (11,500), the spectacularly-breasted JC Tran (16,000), Rep Porter (15,000) and Lee Watkinson-Markholt (12,500).

2004 WSOP Main Event champ Greg Raymer appeared on FOX Business News the other day to talk about legislative efforts to regulate and tax the online poker industry. During the interview the former attorney made it clear that he thinks the UIGEA doesn't apply in any way to online poker, hence the headline above, hence why are we writing this post? Warning: if the site of Raymer wearing his Fossilman glasses makes you cringe like it makes us, we suggest forwarding through the first 30 seconds or so. Better yet just skip the video and watch Chloe instead. The girl makes a valid point.

The long awaited 60 Minutes feature on the
Anchor Steve Kroft, 62, interviewed Mark Seif (wearing an Absolute Poker jersey), Mike Sexton (not wearing a Party Poker one), Linda Johnson (why? was Shari Flanzer unavailable?), and Greg Raymer (wearing a Poker Stars shirt). The interviews took place in an empty Rio Amazon Room around 11am.
We overheard Raymer discussing the need for the U.S. American government to regulate online poker, and we can surmise because we’re smart-like-that that the rest of the messaging from the group was on point with the PPA’s platform. Raymer, a Libertarian, said he doesn’t see why the government should regulate his actions if they cause no harm to others. Johnson (why her again?) and Sexton both agreed with the need for regulation and taxation.
The wild card in this mix is that 2+2 poster and founder of the AbsolutePokerCheats.com website (here), Michael Josem, was also interviewed. How the stories weaved by Seif and Josem regarding the Absolute scandal will surely be a focal point of the piece and may eventually influence (ever so slightly) how legislators decide to handle the legality of online poker moving forward.
Unfortunately, word from our sources indicate that this 60 Minutes feature will be an outright "hatchet job" on the online poker industry. Although that’s really not much of a shocker. But it’s certainly not good news either.
More photos from the interviews below. The one of Josem with Seif in the background (second from left) is particularly great.

The second flight draw of 168 players puts the total field at 359, a decent increase from last year’s debut event in Warsaw which drew 284 to the Casinos Poland. The total drives the prize purse up to 7,180,000 Polish Zlotych if our math is correct, and it probably ain’t.
Surviving Day 1a yesterday were 72 players including the chip leader Robert Flink, a Swede, who amassed 113,000. Second in chips was Spaniard Anio Alcaraz (78,000) and third but first in weird foreigny name was German Alp Okumus (62,100).

Our WCP tip of the day: Don’t do a Google Search of Ewa Sonnet or a Google Image Search of Ewa Sonnet (NSFW). Unless you’re your own boss, and even then, only if you have an hour or so to kill. Ewa Sonnet by the way is Poland’s 36E answer to

Responding to
“If I wanted to get catty, I’d say it’s better to beat 400-800 (which I have done consistently in mixed games) than to lose at 4000-8000.”
To which Negreanu replied, over at FCP:
“The Raymer makes some ridiculous post saying, ‘It’s better to win at 400-800 than lose at 4000-8000.’ I post my results on my website in all games. I’m wnner in all forms of poker outside of online poker and the High Stakes Poker cash games on television. I am winner in the 4000-8000 game.”
Ok, this just isn’t interesting to us anymore, hence the pic above of Jessica Alba trying to catch a
