Brecher Wins Bay 101 Liebert Screwed

Steve Brecher who is an old time poker player bested Kathy Liebert at the final table of the Bay 101 in San Jose California. Chris Moore top ranked online poker player finished 3rd.

I must admit I think Steve is an awesome guy and deserves this his first big win. I am conflicted because Kathy really got fucked here. She had a few shots to capture the tourney but just couldn't get there. She would have been the first female to win an open WPT event. This is like her 5th or 6th WPT final table. She did get over 500k for her efforts. Kathy has cemented herself as the most accomplished female tournament poker player of all-time.

Borgata's 500k guarantee was this weekend. A I write they are down to 18 players.They started with 919 players make it nearly 1.5 million in the prize pool. First place will get $319,536.

Good luck to team 3some at the dream team poker event Liz Lieu. Mario Ho and Matt Stout.

NBC Heads Up and More

The MBC Heads Up Tourney took place last week in Las Vegas at Caesars Palace. 64 players entered including the biggest names in poker like; Phil Ivey, Doyle Brunson, Phil Helmuth, Daniel Nagreanu and more. The entry was $20,000 with $500,000 going to the winner.

The highlights of the event included a rematch of last years much talked about Tom Dwan Phil Helmuth match. This very Phil prevailed and was all to happy to gloat. Another big match was Scotty Ngyuen and Daniel. The funny part was Daniel dressed up as Scotty fake mullet and all. In the end it was the sexy Vanessa Russo against former World Champion Huck Seed. Huck took it down making him the 3rd WSOP ME champ to win it along with Helmuth and Jesus.

In other news:
some stupid Canadian took down the WSOPC event at Caesars, First place was $322k not bad for 3 days work. Chris Kolondicki, Matt Brady, Frank Vizza and Jason Young also made the final table.

Bay 101 and Wynn Classic Start this week. Bogata's 500k guarantee is this weekend. So there is plenty pf action out there.

Durrr All Day Long

High Stakes Poker made a triumphant return to the Game Show Network tonight. Playing in the game were a mix of online and live players. Doyle Brunson, Daniel Negreanu, Eli Elezera, Peter Eastgate, Zigmund, David Benyamine and Tom Dwan (Durrr).

In my opinion HSP is the best poker show on TV. They play for big money and you get to see great play. Durrr lost a big hand to WSOP 08 champ Peter Eastgate, but other than that the pots were small compared to the action ebing seen on Full Tilt these days.

In reponse to all of the big action being on Full Tilt these days Daniel and Barry Greenstein played HU on poker stars on an 8 game mix table. It wasn't close to the action on FTP and it wreaked of a publicity stunt. Many rumors have Barry being broke or at least in some economic turmoil.

Also like to send out my thoughts and prayers to Daniel's mother who has been ill for a few weeks now. Daniel is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet and like all of us he loves his mother.
