The latest news from PokerListings.com http://www.pokerlistings.com/feed/news Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:47:49 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 en-us http://www.pokerlistings.com/reigning-wsop-champ-handicaps-november-nine-44921 But this weekend, as the latest edition of the November Nine plays out, Peter Eastgate's reign as World Champion will come to a close.</p> <p>"You can never stop the clock; there will always be a new world champion," Eastgate told PokerListings. "Why should I have any sad emotions about that? I'll just be the ex-world champion. Nothing is being taken away from me, maybe a bit of the attention, but nothing else."</p> <p>Eastgate defended his title well, making it deep again this summer before busting out 78th.</p> <p>He remembers playing with both Joe Cada and Kevin Schaffel and appeared particularly impressed with the player who could replace him as the youngest champion in Main Event history.</p> <p>"I have always been impressed by the young guys in poker," he said. "I like their spirit. I like the way they develop their skills by playing a lot online. That's how I have developed my own skills, so I feel like I'm part of the same breed as them - The young online community going into the live arena.</p> <p>"I think this group of young players has an advantage and even though I only have a small experience of playing against Cada, I've been impressed. He certainly belongs to that group."</p> <p>All eyes at the final table will likely be on the man widely considered the best player on the planet.</p> <p>And although Eastgate has very little experience playing against Phil Ivey, he will be no different.</p><p></p> <p>"It's very easy, if you go by the stats, to rule him as the best player as he has the best results," Eastgate said. "Everyone who's played with him says he's the best. I've only played with him for one orbit of the EPT High Roller in London in Season 5, but he wouldn't remember that.</p> <p>"It lasted for like 30 minutes, so I don't really have any experience, but everyone says he's the best, so he probably is."</p> <p>Eastgate took advantage last November as chip leader Dennis Phillips saw his stack eroded, eventually busting out third.</p> <p>As a result, he's not sure how much of an advantage the chip lead will give Maryland logger Darvin Moon this time around.</p> <p>"Obviously he has the chip advantage, but I don't know how he's going to manage that," he said. "From the way he's conducted himself, he seems like a pretty fearless guy, so I assume he would put the pressure on his opponents and try to take advantage of the prize jumps."</p> <p>Eastgate said he hasn't met Eric Buchman, Steven Begleiter, Jeff Shulman, Antoine Saout or James Akenhead.</p> <p>But the UK resident said there seems to be a lot of respect in the poker community for Akenhead.</p> <p>However, if he were a betting man, there's only one person Eastgate would bet on.</p> <p>"Darvin's the favorite, Ivey is the best player, but I'd go for Cada, if I was betting on it," he said.</p> <p>To follow all the action at the final table until a new World Champion is crowned, tune into <a href='http://www.pokerlistings.com/live-tournaments/wsop/2009/event57/live-updates' class=''>PokerListings 2009 WSOP Main Event Live Coverage</a> beginning at 12 p.m. PT Saturday, Nov. 7.</p><br />Visit <a href="http://www.pokerlistings.com">PokerListings.com</a> info@www.Pokerlistings.com News Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:59:59 +0100 http://www.pokerlistings.com/reigning-wsop-champ-handicaps-november-nine-44921 http://www.pokerlistings.com/isildur1-crushes-cole-south-for-500k-44919 Only this time it was Isildur1 holding the knife as he beat the CardRunners pro out of nearly $500k.</p><p>Last night's edition of the online rivalry started off with the two players playing $100/$200 and $200/$400 Pot-Limit Omaha.</p> <p>As usual, South proved to be the stronger PLO player, making over $84k in just 112 hands before Isildur1 called it quits.</p> <p>Isildur1 returned to the tables three hours later to play a lengthy session of $50/$100 No-Limit Hold'em against unknown online player URnotINdanger2. Isildur1 took the unknown for over $60k before getting back in touch with South for round two.</p> <p>Isildur1, who understands his strength is NLH, argued that the two should play Hold'em since they already played PLO earlier that day. Up over $84k from earlier, South had no choice but to accept.</p> <p>The two players sat at $200/$400 NLH, and after two hours and more than 2,000 hands, Isildur1 had utterly destroyed South for almost $600k.</p> <p>At the end of the night, Isildur1 had made a $574k profit, all but $74k of which came from South.</p> <p>Below are the biggest hands from the NLH battle or you can head to <a href='http://www.pokerlistings.com/market-pulse' class=''>MarketPulse</a> to get your fill.</p><p><a href="http://www.pokerlistings.com/hand-replayer_h15826076940_c1901" target="_blank">That's the suck!</a></p><p><a href="http://www.pokerlistings.com/hand-replayer_h15825829235_c1901" target="_blank">Bluff fail.</a></p><p><a href="http://www.pokerlistings.com/hand-replayer_h15826091189_c1901" target="_blank">No diamonds left to come.</a></p><br />Visit <a href="http://www.pokerlistings.com">PokerListings.com</a> info@www.Pokerlistings.com News Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:54:30 +0100 http://www.pokerlistings.com/isildur1-crushes-cole-south-for-500k-44919 http://www.pokerlistings.com/rousso-to-appear-on-e-reality-show-44917 <em>Bank of Hollywood</em>, set to premier on the E! network this December, will feature a panel of celebrities taking pitches from Americans who are in need of cash.</p> <p>Every week the show will give money to the contestant they feel is most deserving.</p> <p>Rousso will appear as a panel member on the show, which is being produced by <em>American Idol</em> host Ryan Seacrest.</p> <p>Other panel members include Pussy Cat Dolls singer Melody Thornton, author and wife of TV producer aaron Spelling, Candy Spelling and Wilhelmina Models president Sean Patterson.

"Making it to the final table is great, yes, but I really, really want to win it.</p> <p>"It's very important to me. I remember the first time I watched poker on TV I saw Scotty Nguyen win the Main Event. That was the very first time I watched, I thought then that it would be cool to win that tournament and now I have a chance."</p> <p>While Nguyen's 1998 win was the first time Ivey watched poker on TV, it certainly wasn't his first introduction to the game.</p> <p>"I just always loved to play cards," he said. "I started playing I Declare War when I was four or five years old and then my grandfather taught me how to play poker, he kind of like taught me the rules and everything. We used to play with pennies. I loved to play every chance I got."</p> <p>The California born and New Jersey raised Ivey started playing small cash games in High School, got himself a fake ID and soon hit the casinos in Atlantic City.</p> <p>When he turned 21, he started flashing his real ID and began to take the game a little more seriously.</p> <p>"I was playing in casinos before that, but I wasn't really trying to make a living at it," he said. "I just liked to play. It was something I would just do as a hobby. I would sneak down there and play because I loved it. I just thought it was a fascinating game. I didn't really think too much about making a living at it.</p><p></p> <p>"But then when I started making money and I started looking at the other players that were playing, I just said 'wait a second, I could beat these guys,' and that's when I said 'let me put everything I have into this and see where it goes.'"</p> <p>Success came relatively quickly, as Ivey won his first WSOP bracelet in 2000 at age 24, final tabled another event and narrowly missed a third.</p> <p>He made a another final table at the WSOP in 2001, but 2002 was truly his breakout year. Ivey won three bracelets, tying the record for the most wins in a single series.</p> <p>Another WSOP win and more final tables, million dollar scores in Europe, and a win after an amazing eight WPT final tables would soon follow as Ivey developed into one of the most feared tournament players on the planet, while also taking on all comers in the biggest cash games in the world.</p> <p>This past summer, he added two more WSOP bracelets to his wrist, becoming the youngest in history to hold seven at age 33.</p> <p>He also became poker's third leading money winner all-time with more than $12 million in career tournament earnings.</p> <p>But despite the fact he's done almost as much as anyone in the game's history, Ivey seems to have a keen understanding that poker is more about losing than winning.</p> <p>"I don't like to lose, but poker, it humbles you, because you realize that no matter how good you are, you are going to have losing days, you are going to have losing weeks and you are even going to have some losing months," he said. "I haven't had a losing year yet, thank God. But you are going to have to learn how to deal with losing in order to become a better winner.</p> <p>"That's why I think poker is such a wonderful game. There are guys that play certain sports that hardly ever lose, but in poker, you are just going to have to lose."</p> <p>Through both the winning and losing, Ivey says he's learned some valuable lessons.</p><p></p> <p>"You learn about yourself," he said. "You teach yourself how to deal with the ups and downs, and also how to control your thoughts, your negative thoughts, how to control what you're thinking and realize why you think what you're thinking. You really realize a lot about yourself if you get deep into poker.</p> <p>"You have to learn a lot about yourself in order to become one of the best players in the world."</p> <p>Ivey's road to Main Event glory is actually littered with missed opportunities.</p> <p>He finished 23rd in 2002, a heartbreaking 10th in 2003 and 20th in 2005.</p> <p>Although he's a little short on chips coming into Saturday's final, he truly believes this is his time.</p> <p>"Now I have a shot," he said. "I'm seventh in chips, but you know what, I feel pretty comfortable with the close to ten million that I have. I don't feel like I'm in a rush. I can just take my time and get a hold of some chips. If I have to go all in I will. But whatever comes to me, I'm just going to take it."</p> <p>While the rest of the November Nine is a good mix of seasoned pros and surprisingly savvy amateurs, Ivey is the only one who really puts fear into the hearts of his competitors.</p> <p>In fact, chip leader Darvin Moon told PokerListings if Ivey even looks at him the wrong way, he's likely to muck his hand.</p> <p>Part of what creates that fear is that Ivey is a bit of mystery to the poker world.</p> <p>He doesn't do a lot of interviews, but says that's more of a personal choice than an attempt to help cultivate an imposing image at the table.</p><p></p> <p>"It's not like I'm against interviews," he said. "I'm not. I don't mind doing interviews. I don't mind sitting down and talking to you about poker and other things. But there are things I'd rather be doing besides talking about poker when I'm playing poker 15 to 16 hours a day."</p> <p>Ivey says the average player just simply isn't logging the hours that he is.</p> <p>"These guys that do all these interviews, they're able to do all these interviews because they don't play as much poker as I do." He said. "When I get knocked out of a tournament, I'm rushing to the Bellagio to play poker. I'm rushing to the Internet to play poker, or going to the golf course, or going to play blackjack or whatever, because that's what I'd rather be doing."</p> <p>Regardless, the fear his opponent's feel works to his advantage, although Ivey claims he hasn't made any deliberate attempt to create it.</p> <p>"When I sit down and play with someone, it's not like they say 'Hey, Phil, I fear you,'" he said. "Maybe some people do, but it's not like they say it. So you've got to kind of figure it out, and you figure it out by how they're playing hands against you and everything else.</p> <p>"The thing is, people try to create these table images, but that hurts them because you can't really create a table image. It has to be based on your results and how you do. People try, some people want to talk, they want to do this, they want to that, I just think people more or less know that my image is, if you mess with me, and you play a certain way against me, I'm going to get your money."</p> <p>Ivey hasn't written any how-to books. He doesn't make the training videos that have become so popular with so many other professional players.</p> <p>But again, he says it's not an attempt to conceal his strategy or perpetuate his dominating table image.</p> <p>He's just too busy playing poker.</p> <p>"I play poker all the time and I think that's what gives me my edge and what keeps me as sharp as I am when I'm playing," he said. "I love to play poker, I still do. I think a lot of these guys, they wonder why their games are suffering and everything else. It's because they don't work as hard as I do."</p><p></p> <p>But despite the fact he has deliberately avoided the spotlight in the past, finally winning the WSOP Main Event title this weekend might change all that, as he learns to embrace a role as an ambassador for the game.</p> <p>"As far as me being an ambassador for poker, I don't know; maybe if I win the Main Event it'll be something that is forced upon me and I don't really mind that," he said. "As I'm getting older I'm starting to understand how important my place in history, in poker and doing the right things by everyone, is.</p> <p>"But at the end of the day, you have to make yourself happy too. I have to be a happy person. I'll take the interviews and I'll do the things to help grow poker as a sport, I have no problem doing that, but I'm also not going to give up my life to do that.</p> <p>"I want to keep some type of balance and I think that's important."</p> <p>To follow Ivey and the entire November Nine, tune into PokerListings <a href='http://www.pokerlistings.com/live-tournaments/wsop/2009/event57/live-updates' class=''>2009 WSOP Main Event Live Coverage</a> beginning at 12 p.m. PT Saturday, Nov. 7.</p><p>If you want to hear everything Ivey had to say <a href='http://www.pokerlistings.com/blog/phil-ivey-full-video-interview' class=''>check out the full video interview in the blog section.</a></p><p></p><div id="refHTML"></div><br />Visit <a href="http://www.pokerlistings.com">PokerListings.com</a> info@www.Pokerlistings.com News Thu, 05 Nov 2009 23:59:59 +0100 http://www.pokerlistings.com/all-eyes-on-ivey-the-legend-speaks-44893 http://www.pokerlistings.com/gsn-announces-high-stakes-poker-season-6-44890 The co-host is none other than former European Poker Tour presenter Kara Scott, who will also interview players in the high-stakes suite in the Golden Nugget about poker strategy, big hands and table dynamics.</p> <p>As usual, the line-up for Season 6 will include some of the biggest names in the poker world.</p> <p>Patrik Antonius, David Benyamine, Doyle Brunson, Tom Dwan, Eli Elezra, Antonio Esfandiari, Barry Greenstein, Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey, Mike Matusow and Daniel Negreanu will all be returning.</p> <p>New faces for this season include 2008 WSOP Main Event third place finisher Dennis Phillips, aggressive Dutch Team PokerStars Pro Lex Veldhuis, 2007 EPT Dortmund winner Andreas Hoivold and outspoken Englishman Sammy "Any Two" George.</p> <p>There will be several more players added before the show airs as the final player line-up is subject to change.</p> <p>The show will once again feature a minimum buy-in of $200,000, which should generate some extremely large pots.</p><p>Last year Dwan shocked the poker world by winning an epic $919,600 pot from Greenstein.</p> <p>Scott brings considerable poker experience to her role as co-host.

After 3,546 hands and almost four hours, jungleman12 left the game having lost over $174k.</p> <p>Almost immediately, Isildur1 took a seat across from South. In recent conversations between the two, Isildur1 had been complaining that South only ever plays him on Omaha tables.</p><p>South decided to give the unknown Swede a shot as they took seats at $200/$400 NLHE.</p> <p>The session lasted 2,153 hands, with multiple $100k+ pots being played. In the end it was a small victory for Isildur1, who left with just $27k of South's money.</p> <p>Attempting to capitalize on his night of run-good, Isildur1 chose to finish it off playing $200/$400 Pot-Limit Omaha heads-up against the comeback kid, Brian Townsend.</p> <p>If Isildur1's performance from the previous two nights is any indication, PLO is a serious leak in his game. After having made over $200k across 5,699 hands of Hold'em, Isildur1 got quickly crushed by Townsend, losing over $317k in just 339 hands.</p> <p>Just like on Tuesday, at the end of the night, Isildur1 had lost just over $115k.

"Maybe it will come when I see the supporters once I arrive at the final table. I don't know."</p> <p>Saout spent the end of the summer and early part of fall preparing for the Main Event by playing major tournaments across Europe.</p> <p>There he proved his spot at the final table was no fluke, joining fellow November Niner shortstack James Akenhead at the final table of the World Series of Poker Europe main event.</p> <p>He's now hoping the confidence that experience has helped him build will carry him forward in Las Vegas.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p>"I have had the opportunity to play a lot of tournaments thanks to my sponsorship with Everest Poker,"&nbsp; he said. "That helped me gain more self-confidence, confidence in my game, and to earn more experience. Now I feel like I'm ready to play in the biggest tournaments."</p><p></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p>Saout, who played much of the Main Event at a table with Phil Ivey, also spent some of his time studying the rest of the November Nine.</p> <p>"I have been able to see a little bit of their game on ESPN videos," he said. "But I think that's not a guarantee. Within three months they have had time to change their game. And when it's time for the final table, it will be a special atmosphere, which could make them play differently."</p> <p>Saout credits his math and analytical skills for his recent success in poker.</p> <p>He multi-tables online and regularly leans on a close knit group of friends for strategy advice.</p> <p>"I still talk about hands with my friends, both live and online poker hands," he said. "It is always good to get some other points of view. I also learn thanks to the big volume of games that I can play.

"We aren't the most physical people and we were totally out of our element."</p> <p>"Amazing is the perfect way to describe our experience," said Michelle. "It was the most challenging thing I have done and it was perspective and life changing."</p> <p>Despite their deep run on the show, the pair might be best remembered for a controversial move in the very first episode. Michelle and Ho decided to inform the teams they were competing against that they were non-profit workers instead of poker players.</p> <p>The ruse didn't work as they were quickly identified by a poker fan at an airport later in the first episode. Several teams were miffed at the misrepresentation.</p> <p>Both Michelle and Ho insisted they weren't doing it for sympathy, but were instead trying to hide the fact they were successful poker players.</p> <p>"We were coming from a strategic point of view and we just wanted to highlight another part of our lives," said Michelle. "It wasn't anything that wasn't truthful."</p><p></p> <p>"Nobody wants to help people that do alright for themselves," added Ho.</p> <p>Michelle mentioned she does work with the L.A. Youth Network and both have played numerous charity tournaments including Ante Up for Africa.</p> <p>Ho and Michelle were the only all-female team competing in this season of <em>The Amazing Race</em> and it proved to be a serious challenge.</p> <p>"It was 10 million times harder than I thought it would be," said Michelle. "Just from a muscle point of view we were at a disadvantage."</p><p>No female team has ever won the race.</p> <p>In their final episode, Michelle and Ho couldn't perform either one of the detour challenges they attempted and were forced to eventually take a 24-hour penalty, thus eliminating them from the show. Both challenges were physical in nature.</p> <p>"I have no regrets about how we went out," said Ho. "We gave it all we had, but at a certain point you just have to accept there are things you just can't do."</p> <p>With the show behind them both, Ho and Michelle have plans to return to the poker circuit at the British Columbia Poker Championship in Vancouver and then the WPT Doyle Brunson Five Diamond at Bellagio in Las Vegas.</p> <p>"I think for the first time we just want to go play poker," said Michelle. "It will be exciting to get back out there and see all the faces."</p> <p>The mainstream exposure they received on <em>The Amazing Race</em> seems here to stay and Ho appeared on Anderson Cooper 360 this week in a panel on women breaking into the male-dominated world of business.</p> <p>Meanwhile, Michelle recently launched a clothing line and plans on continuing her acting career by auditioning for roles in both television and film.</p><br />Visit <a href="http://www.pokerlistings.com">PokerListings.com</a> info@www.Pokerlistings.com News Wed, 04 Nov 2009 01:59:35 +0100 http://www.pokerlistings.com/michelle-ho-bust-out-of-ithe-amazing-racei-44830 http://www.pokerlistings.com/dwan-loses-another-13-million-44826 It appears Dwan's biggest leak is table selection, as he chose to spend his entire night sitting across from two of the most feared and respected players in the world: Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies and Phil Ivey.</p><p>Dwan's night started on his two private $500/$1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha tables with Sahamies and the action was nothing less than furious with a $160k pot played just three hands in, and multiple $300k pots played over the duration of the session.</p> <p>After almost two hours and 274 hands, Sahamies came out well on top with over $626k of Dwan's money.</p> <p>Dwan then went on to play the same game heads up against Ivey, quickly losing $200k over a short 35-hand session.</p> <p>However, Dwan wasn't just getting schooled on the PLO tables.
