Giants of the WSOP
June 8, 2010 by admin
Filed under poker news
In poker, however, the guys that look like giants on TV really are giants.
PL.com has been on the floor throughout the day for the $10k Seven-Card Stud Championship, and even after busting out early in the event, Mike “The Mouth” Matusow has been stopping by to chat with Phil Hellmuth.
Whenever Hellmuth stands up, however, the 5’9” Matusow has to crane his head upward at a remarkably upright angle to have a close-proximity, hushed-tone conversation with the Poker Brat.
With that in mind, and the NBA Basketball Finals going on in the U.S., here’s a list of some of most towering people of poker:
Phil Gordon 6’9”: Gordon is probably the tallest person in poker, but the Full Tilt pro is also one of the nicest people in the game. Too likable for his height to be intimidating.
Phil Hellmuth 6’7”: The Poker Brat can be intimidating in numerous ways – with his poker resume, his trash-talking table image and his formidable height. Hellmuth’s blow-ups are even worse when he’s standing at his table, furious.
Huck Seed 6’7”: The former Main Event champ has been known to show off his long-range shooting with big bucks on the line. His quiet demeanor and tall, lanky frame add to his intimidating table image.
Erik Seidel 6’7”: He’s an eight-time bracelet winner and a pro’s pro. Seidel’s consistency as one of the world’s best makes him a scary opponent for anyone.
Howard Lederer 6’5”: The Professor’s large frame and large intellect makes him a huge presence in any room he walks into, and the effect is even bigger when Lederer is at the poker table.

WSOP Momentum: Phil Ivey
May 19, 2010 by admin
Filed under poker news
2009 was the summer of Phil, no question. Two bracelets and a Main Event final table tell the story, but only part of it.
Rumors about Ivey’s epic bracelet bets were everywhere and even if we can’t know the exact numbers, we’ve got a pretty good idea what the bets were all about.
At the beginning of the 2009 series he had a slew of straight-up bracelet bets. $200k per bracelet with Daniel Negreanu, big money with Howard Lederer and Doyle Brunson and who knows what else.
When he took down his first 2009 bracelet he won a lot of money, to put it simply. The sickest thing was that Ivey didn’t stop there. Rumor has it he rolled over all those winnings and got odds against him winning a second bracelet in the next two weeks!
Think about how juicy that bet would be. All these guys who just lost six-figure amounts were being given a golden opportunity to wipe the slate clean. Winning two WSOP bracelets in two weeks is pretty ridiculous.
Nine days later he won another bracelet in the $2,500 Omaha/Stud Hi-Lo event.
With two bracelets and a sick, sick amount of money in prop-bet profits Ivey could have hung up his boots and spent the rest of the summer on the golf course. But then he wouldn’t be Phil Ivey.
He went on to final table the year’s biggest event, making a few huge prop bets along the way.
He reportedly stood to win $6 million in side bets if he had won. Andy Bloch bet him 99 to 1 on $20k for the win when there were 2,500 people left. He also had big bets with Tom Dwan ,Gus Hansen and more.
In terms of a single year at the WSOP, it doesn’t get much bigger than that. And if anyone can capitalize on momentum, it’s Phil Ivey.
We can only assume Ivey is lining up his 2010 WSOP bets as we speak. PokerListings.com is going to be on the ground in Las Vegas for every second of the 2010 World Series of Poker and we plan to keep a very close eye on Mr. Phil Ivey.
