In yesterday's blog, I started counting down my list of the Top 10 Poker Moments of 2010 by giving you #10 through #6.   Today, I will give you the my top five moments. *#5 - Phil Ivey Wins 8th Bracelet* * ** * Many of you would figure that Ivey's 8th bracelet win would be the #1 moment in poker for me this year, but I expect him to win every year, so this was not a surprise.   However, the way he came back against Bill Chen was definitely news worthy.

Among all of the Christmas tweets yesterday on Twitter, the following came across: @AnnieDuke[http://twitter. com/#%21/AnnieDuke] I said yes! http://yfrog. com/h6nplnj The happy couple It appears that poker's "favorite" single mom is now engaged to boyfriend Joseph Reitman, also known as "Joe Ugly".  Many players and fans from around the world dropped her congratulations.

Several poker sites have been having fans vote on which players they think are award worthy in several categories. Personally, I don't like contests, and since my opinion is the only one that matters, I am going to present the first annual PokerJunkie Poker Awards. The winners receive the following: We here at PokerJunkie. com only give out the finest in pictures of poker trophies.

We have seen the Harry Reid Poker Bill (#Reidbill) analyzed in every way possible, but have we seen it transformed into a Christmas song? Well now it has. Enjoy! Reid Bill Christmas Song (Sung to Do You Hear What I Hear) Said the grinder to the poker fan Do you see what I see? Way up on the hill poker fan Do you see what I see? A bill, a bill Heading for a fight Let's go tweet this to kevmath tonight Let's go tweet this to kevmath tonight Said the poker fan to his poker foes Do you hear what I hear?

I logged onto Full Tilt to play a little Stud Hi-Lo and inspiration came to me for a new slogan for the site. As such, I figured I would share some ads that were rejected from various sites.    (Ad tag line in photo caption. ) *Full Tilt Poker:* For some reason, Full Tilt thought that trying to convince people they might actually win would be a better way to go: *Poker Player Magazine:* Daniel Negreanu was pegged to be this site's spokesman, but there were privacy concerns: You can talk to these guys about anything.
