As host of the "Raw Deal," Tony "Bond18" Dunst (not pictured above) will join Melanie Iglesias (pictured above) and the other Royal Flush Girls as new additions to Season IX of the WPT.
Well-liked poker pro and self-described ”self important suit wearing douchebag type” and ladies man Tony “Bond18″ Dunst has been named the host of WPT’s “Raw Deal” segment for Season IX. Dunst beat out a number of no-names as well as notables like Clonie Gowen, Bryan Devonshire, Joe Sebok and Ali Nejad who auditioned for the role.
Dunst, who made a deep run in the 2010 WSOP Main Event this year, finishing in 50th place, will make his first appearance at the WPT Fest al Lago, which gets underway on October 15.

Not bad WPT London. Not bad.
Playing in his 101st WPT event, the funniest poker pro on Twitter, Erik Seidel, is the Day 1A chipleader at the WPT London, bagging 226K . In fourth is 9-time WPT final table-ist Phil Ivey with 146,200. Huck Seed will be coming back tomorrow with 93,400.
Also making it to Day 2 is Victor Victorovich Ilyukhin with 80k. No idea who that is though.
Day 1B is underway now at the Palm Beach Casino, in London, and it will surely draw more entrants than yesterday’s anemic 72 runners. No doubt the EPT Villa-whatever going on in Portugal has affected the turnout, as well as players saving their buy-ins for the the upcoming WSOP Europe. And somehow UK hottie Victoria Moore is to blame.

WPT Royal Flush Girls Damn!!!, Damn!!! Damn!!! and Damn!!! (from left to right, above)
The first-ever WPT London kicked off Day 1A today in the aforementioned London, and while the £5k buy-in event is drawing a smallish field, a decent amount of “notables” are in the mix today including Phil Ivey, Luke Schwartz, Andrew Robl, Praz Bansi, the awesomely named Dragan Galic*, 2009 November Niner James Akenhead and playing in his 100th WPT event, Erik Seidel. Get updates here.
In somewhat related, more important WPT news, check out these photos above/below of the Royal Flush Girls we found while searching for something we completely forgot what we were searching for once we found these photos of the Royal Flush Girls.
* Not a real dragan.

Melanie Iglesias (above) is our favorite of the WPT Royal Flush Girls. Oh that's Melyssa Grace? Yeah, we still can't tell them apart.
Day 1A of the $5k buy-in WPT Legends of Poker got underway a couple hours ago at the Bike in LA, and among the early bust outs include last year’s WPT POY Faraz Jaka, famously of The Faraz Jaka Conundrum. You can get the breakdown of the hand that busted him from WPT reporter Barry Greenstein on Twitter here.
Also out early is Jerry “The Shadow” Yang, the anonymously good Dwyte Pilgrim, and the suspiciously named Soheil Shamseddin. Try and guess which one of the aforementioned we wouldn’t want to see on an airplane passenger manifesto. We’ll give you a hint: it’s Soheil Shamseddin.
Players are still registering today (last we saw it was at 182), and with Day 1B expected to draw an even bigger field, the total number will easily surpass last year’s 279 runners when the event was still a $10k buy-in.
Watch our in-depth interview with last year’s WPT Legends of Poker champion Prahlad Friedman here and tune in to our interview with WPT host Kimberly Lansing on This Week In Poker Tuesday at 4pm PST/7pm EST.

Asian-Latiny-looking girls with huge boobs are the CiCi's Pizza of hot girls.
The WPT Royal Flush Girls were in town for the Bellagio Cup VI final table, but more importantly, they spent the day posing for photos around Las Vegas looking ridiculously hot. Really, the only way these photos could be any hotter to us is if they were naked while eating some CiCi’s Pizza. Because nothing gets us hotter than CiCi’s Pizza, where you can get all you can eat for just $3.99. That’s right, just $3.99!!! Find a CiCi’s Pizza near you here.
We’ll be featuring more of the WPT Royal Flush Girls soon including profiles on each of them, once we can tell them apart.
