We’re two weeks out from when news originally broke about PokerStars acquiring Full Tilt Poker. While no officially announcement has come from either PokerStars or Full Tilt regarding the progress of the deal...
Well this is interesting. While we can’t get any official word yet, we are hearing significant chatter among players and local Vegas gaming sources that the Palms casino may end up having to...

We have no idea what Phil Ivey, who is rumored to have
However, their combined income probably exceeds the GDP of many small countries, so they could probably give two shits about any joke we’d make about it any way. Money is cool like that.
Look for another post on Jerry Buss and his hot railbird shortly…

As the Entities watched the LA Lakers win a thriller against the Utah Mormons last night, we noticed a familar face screaming “Are you kidding me???!!!” at the refs with around two-and-a-half to go: poker pro Phil Ivey.
Apparently we weren’t the only ones who noticed Ivey (seen above, sitting as 20,000 other stand), as Pocket 5′s (here) and 2+2 (here) have some threads on it.
The big question is how did Ivey get the courtside tix? While our answers range from, “Who really cares?” to “Seriously, who really cares?” the common theories are that high-stakes player/friend Jerry Buss gave them to him, as he’s been known to do, or that the Laker’s owner is paying off a prop bet debt to him with the choice seats.
In related news, can somebody get the “Are you kidding me?” up on YouTube? Thanks.

In the video below, the virtuous Lindsay Lohan has a simple message for high-stakes pokerer, Lakers owner and drunk driver
Sure we could be cynical and point out that Lohan giggles like a 12-year-old girl buzzed on wine coolers when the guy says to the camera “Don’t drink and drive!” and that she doesn’t particularly say herself not to drink and drive but just to be safe (like passing out in the passenger seat when drunk instead of getting behind the wheel). But really who are we to judge Lohan’s intentions . . . when we’re busy looking at photos of her nipples.

When we last saw high-stakes poker player and LA Lakers owner Jerry Buss in person, it was at the Commerce Casino in LA this past March and the 74-year-old was palling around with an absurdly hot chick in her early twenties who reminded us that when we’re as old as Buss, our current/first wives will not be in their early twenties, but instead will be old as dirt, which is exactly why they are our current/first wives.
While this has nothing to do with Buss getting arrested today for driving while intoxicated in Carlsbad, it does make us wonder if Jeannana Flores, the 23-year-old girl who was in the car with Buss at the time of the arrest, is the same chick we saw with Buss last March (and no, we’re not talking about the girl in the PokerNews interview with Buss). The name however doesn’t necessarily fit the package of the girl we saw in as much as it conjures up the thought of a certain Puerto Rican trannie prostitute we once knew.
In a statement released by the Lakers today, Buss said:
“Although I was driving only a short distance, it was a bad decision and I was wrong to do it. It was a mistake I will not make again.”
Ironically this is almost word for word the same thing we’ve said
For more on the Jerry Buss DUI bust, read a newspaper.
