Chili Cheese Dog Takes Down Some Cash

Matt "Chili Cheese Dog" Glantz almost took down the biggest prelim event at the 2008 WSOP. He finished 4th in the $50,000 HORSE tournament. That was good for over $400,000 and combined with an earlier final table he eclipsed $600k for this World Series of Poker. Matt is a known face in the Atlantic City area playing the biggest rotation games in the high limit room at the Borgata. With that kind of scratch he can buy a shit load of chili cheese dogs.

Looks Eric "E-Dog" Lindgren is going to take down WSOP player of the year. E got his first bracelet this year and made two other final tables. Also of note "The Poker Brat" Phil Helmuth just missed his 12th WSOP bracelet finishing 4th in $1500 HORSE.

On the rumor side of things, looks like Phil Ivey is in for a majorly bad month. Phil bet very heavy on the Lakers in the NBA Finals and you know how that went. Additionally he made very large bets that he would win a WSOP bracelet. The word on the street is that Phil could lose as much as 6 million dollars if he fails to win the main event. Win or lose Phil is still the man, having honed his game right here in Atlantic City.

Die in a grease fire,
Krusty
