Phil Hellmuth finally took down his 12th WSOP bracelet last night by winning the $2,500 Razz Event.   This was going down while the "Tiger Woods of Poker", Phil Ivey, was going after his 9th over in the $10k PL Hold'em Event. In the end, Hellmuth continued to add to his career total while Ivey just missed out.   Thinking about it, if Ivey is the "Tiger Woods of Poker", wouldn't that make Hellmuth Jack Nicklaus? Think about it.

We have finally reached day 2, after four day 1s I was starting to feel like it was never going to end.

A woman will walk away with a bracelet tonight as the final table of the $1,000 Ladies World Championship is down to heads-up play.

Paddy Power Poker recently offered Tiger Woods a sponsorship deal in the amount of $75 Million.   It was a five year deal worth $15 per year.   Woods actually turned down the deal from Paddy Power, prompting TMZ to state “Tiger Woods just blew off a $75 million endorsement offer from an Irish gambling company – and that is how you know you’re rich. ” Cheat on your wife - get offered $75 in endorsements.
