The EPT London Main Event is down to seven at post-time, and Peter Eastgate, is in contention, currently stacked third overall. Looks like he’s having a better day than he did in the above vid.
He trails Aaron Gustavson (7,140,000) and Martin Gudvangen (5,500,000).
Annette Obrestad, a woman, finished 17th (£17,000) and Kevin Schaffel continued his 2009 heater, coming in 19th (£17,000).
Getting Schaffel at 12/1 for the November NineTM final table seems like a good value bet now. In related news, get Schaffel at 12/1 here.
To the mass public, Friedman was most known for his “Poker Is Fun” rap back in the 2006 WSOP Main Event (as well as his Jeffrey Lisandro confrontation).
After that Friedman, who to the non-masses was known as Spirit Rock as well as one of the best high stakes online players in the world before Russ Hamilton (allegedly) robbed him silly, kind of disappeared. But he made another deep run at the ME this year, then captured his first WPT title a month later.
Now, Friedman drops a new rap that is so good, it’s the equivalent of Beck going from Mellow Gold to Odelay. In comparison to Jeff Madsen’s ESPN rap earlier this year, it’s like B-Rabbit absolutely pwning Papa Doc. Not even in the same league.
Bonus to Friedman for slagging on the “Eastgate Face.”
Player eliminations have finally slowed down at the 2009 WSOP Main Event. After a quick run of bust-outs, we’re hanging in with about 115 remaining.
While this can change quickly, as of post-time Billy Kopp is the chip leader, stacked at 4,660,000. He’s followed by Charlie Elias with 4,400,000.
Tom Schneider (3.8M), Antonio Esfandiari (2.2M), and Phil Ivey (1.8M) are among the other big named big stacks.
As you can see in the above vid, Peter Eastgate was having a bad day, getting knocked down to around 400k at one point, but is currently back up to around 750k. He’s currently at the featured table with Dennis Phillips, the spectacularly-breasted J.C. Tran, and “Salty” Joe Hachem.
Both of our two Last Woman StandingTM are still alive. Nichoel Peppe has about 1.1M and Leo Margets has around 550k.
Will Nichoel Peppe claim the 2009 WSOP Last Woman Standing Cup (TM)?
Some decent storylines developing at the 2009 WSOP Main Event. Here’s what we’re looking at today:
Can former ME champs Joe Hachem (490,000) and Peter Eastgate (397,000) make November NineTM runs?
With only a handful of women left in the field (we’ve seriously found about 6-7, hopefully a few Caseys, Jamies, and Euros with girly-sounding names end up being chicks so we can at least get to double-digits), who will win the Last Woman Standing CupTM. Currently, Nichoel Peppe, a woman, is the biggest stacked of the females, just shy of 900k.
Is this the year Phil Ivey makes it to the final table? He’s come close before, and has never looked more focused. He currently top 20 in chips with over 1.2M.
Lou Diamond Phillips? Really?
Will fan-favorite and PokerRoad.com’s Joe Sebok continue his run?

:: So maybe there was an attempt to get the November NineTM some more mainstream exposure…they just didn't want it. [link]
:: These Goldman Sachs and Lehman guys have the right idea. [link]
:: After taxes, Peter Eastgate will have earned less from the 2008 WSOP Main Event than Ivan Demidov. Go socialism! [link]
In the meantime, not sure if you've seen the below video. But basically the scenario is this: Andrew was brought on the Maurey Povich Show to take a paternity test to determine if he was the father of this child. Andrew was like, "You know, cute kid and all. But I'm not sure I wanna be a dad, especially to this chick who I just hit it with one night." Then Andrew found out he was not the father and was like, "Whew, that's a relief. That would've greatly impacted my life had I been the father. You know what, I think I'm going to dance now." Then he danced.
On the heels of banking 9 mil and becoming the youngest WSOP Main Event champ in history, Peter Eastgate has signed on with Poker Royalty for representation.
According to the press release, Eastgate will rely on PoRo for "worldwide management and marketing representation across all major platforms, including media, sponsorship, licensing, commercial endorsements and appearances."
Poker Royalty recently opened a European office, which would likely spearhead these efforts, because Eastgate is going to be huge in Europe. He probably already has a best selling album in Belgium.
