Noooooooooooo!!! PokerNews.com to Replace Card Player as Official WSOP Chip Counting and Live Reporting Source

PokernewslogoDammit.

Dammit dammit dammit.

Dammit.

It was announced today that PokerNews.com, through BLUFF Media, will provide chip counts and live reporting for the worldseriesofpoker.com website.

Will PokerNews.com do a bang up job on chip counting and live reporting? Yes. Because they have pros on the job, like this guy and that guy and that one girl and the other guy, and they all know their shit.

And will this have a negative impact on Wicked Chops Poker content during the WSOP? Unfortunately, yes.

If you recall, last year Card Player did an almost legendary job reporting on the WSOP. It would almost be impossible to ever replicate the job they did. You could try to create that kind of chemistry for years, decades even, but never be able to capture the lightning in a bottle Card Player did during last year’s WSOP.

If you don’t remember Card Player’s Like You Were There Moments (TM), please check out this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, and this (which includes a bonus photo of Keeley Hazell for some reason) for a refresher. As you can tell, they will be sorely missed.

Read the full release on PokerNews.com providing WSOP chip counts and live reporting after the jump.

Joe Sebok Chipleader at LAPC, Gavin Smith One Step Closer to Getting “J.S.” Tatt’d on His Backside

by Wicked Chops Entity on 2.24.2007 in Poker News | 2 comments

SebokThree levels into Day One at the LA Poker Classic and Joe Sebok (at right) is the chipleader with 84k while Gavin Smith is at 20k, according to the fine folks at PokerNews.com, who are all over the the LAPC like Keeley Hazell schlobbing on her ex-boyfriend’s butuh (for our Singaporean readers), but not as messy and much more professional.

If you missed our last post, Sebok and Smith have a last longer prop bet that is being filmed for their RawVegas.tv series “Prop Bets” (aka “The Stupid Show”). The loser has to get the other’s initials tattooed on their culo (for our Spanish readers), which of course will be filmed and aired on RawVegas.tv.

Those who are already out early on Day 1 at the LAPC but who thankfully don’t have to get “J.S.” or “G.S.” inked on their derriere (for our French readers) are Jamie Gold, Justin Bonomo, Mark Seif, Joe Hachem, Vanessa Rousso, Daniel Negreanu, Evelyn Ng, Gus Hansen, Amir Vahedia, Amnon Filippi, Huck Seed and Clonie Gowen.

For up-to-the-minute coverage of the LAPC, including video interviews and chip counts for Sebok, Smith and others, head over to PokerNews.com’s live coverage of the LAPC.

To see Tiffany “Hot Chips” Michelle’s interview with Crispin “Don’t Call Me Bruce” Leyser, in which he chats about Jamie “The Colluder” Gold go here.
