Whether you loved or hated Rush Poker, you will probably not get it rammed down your throats. The InstaDeal Poker Network is about to release its own version of the game and have revealed that Full Tilt was never able to patent the concept. What this means is that within the next year or so, expect to see many more sites jump on the "Rush Poker" bandwagon. But of course it won't be called that.

Cue Phil Ivey's new theme: [youtube]http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=wdCUj0yAN60[/youtube] Ok, so that was actually former WCW Main Producer and WWE performer Eric Bischoff's entrance theme, but it applies. Phil Ivey has finally resurfaced after several months of self imposed hiding / exile when he entered the APPT Macau Main Event.

For decades, the elite of the poker world have taken advantage of those poker players who were lesser skilled. It's sad that players like Erik Seidel and Daniel Negreanu make millions at the game when the average grinder has barely enough to scrounge up a stake for a $1-$2 game. It's time that poker players unite and show that they will not take it anymore. It is time for Occupy Doyle Brunson.

Ben Lamb recently purchased a BMW and got some vanity plates that read "BENBA 1. " While that's cute and all, maybe he should have gone with something a little more appropriate for his recent WSOP November Nine finish: 4ANDOUT KJIZWAK LMBCHOP ALLINBAD HNZMYDDY  (Heinz My Daddy) KJORBUST As much grief as I give Lamb, at least he lasted longer than Cain Velasquez did on Saturday. Can you imagine being the UFC heavyweight champ and headlining on Fox for the first-ever national broadcast of the UFC, just to get knocked out in 64 seconds? Watch the video below:.

***Scroll down for updates!!*** The final three of the 2011 WSOP November Nine kicks off tonight at 9 p. m. EST on ESPN. Pius Heinz has a huge chip lead over Ben Lamb and Martin Staszko.

The final three of the 2011 WSOP November Nine has been reached. Unfortunately, Ben Lamb luckboxed his way there. I say luckboxed because he was all-in and behind yet again four-handed and sucked out yet again. If you missed it, it was Lamb shoving with A-7 of diamonds and running into pocket jacks from Matt Giannetti.

The November Nine are in the second half of their dinner break and we are down to just four players left. The other half of my heads-up match is out of it, leaving me with just Matt Giannetti left to make it to the final three. Phil Collins got his last 19 million into the middle after three bet shoving with Ad-7d. Pius Heinz woke up with nines and made the call.

I told you we were going to lose some folks this last level. We are down to just 6 players. Sam Holden was the first out when he ran As-Js into the Ah-Kc of Ben Lamb. Lamb caught clubs on the flop and turn to flush Holden out of the event.

We're still at 9 players going into the second break in the November Nine.   Pius Heinz has be far been the biggest surprise in my opinion.   He has skyrocketed to the chip leadership with 49. 95 Million in chips.

The day is here!  Fans are now filing in for the 2011 WSOP November Nine and from all reports, they are already getting rowdy. Here is a sneak peek of the final table set courtesy of Bernard Lee's twitter[http://twitter. com/#%21/BernardLeePoker]. As mentioned before, the crowd are already getting a bit rowdy.
