Really solid episode breaking down the 2010 WSOP November NineTM and start of the new WPT season. We’re joined by ESPN’s Andrew Feldman, poker pro Joe Sebok, N9′er Joe “subiime” Cheong, and WPT co-host Vince Van Patten. Watch the episode above or go to the official This Week In Poker page here.

3:01 – The discussion on the November Nine begins with Joe Sebok and Andrew Feldman sharing their thoughts on where this final table stacks up to year’s past.

4:06 – Could Soi Nguyen, the sole amateur and oldest player at the table, be the Jerry Yang of this year’s November Nine? Also, you may or may not be surprised who is one of Nguyen’s good friends.

7:01 – As someone who went deep in last year’s WSOP Main Event and has made a name (“Seventhbok”) out of bubbling TV final tables, Sebok talks about how much it must sting for 10th place finisher Brandon Steven.

8:44 – The panel discusses Matt Affleck’s brutal beat that saw him eliminated in 15th place and how both he and the media reacted to it.

12:55 – We break down the good and bad of the November Nine concept.

25:25 – We talk about the ESPN3.com live streaming broadcasts of final tables this year and ask Feldman whether more will be done next year.

49:29 – The remainder of the show is our interview with World Poker Tour co-host Vince Van Patten.

Annie Duke is in D.C. to testify before the House Financial Services Committee Wednesday at 2pm ET.

Annie Duke will speak at Wednesday’s 2pm ET House Financial Services Committee hearing on Internet gambling.

Duke, testifying on behalf of the Poker Players Alliance, joins four other panelists, including (copy + paste from the House Financial Services website):

Importantly, there is no markup of the H.R. 2267 bill scheduled. So don’t expect much momentum to shift here. Just another hearing. From every source we’ve spoken with–even among the most optimistic of the bunch–no one believes anything significant is going to happen with H.R. 2267 before the mid-term elections, and we could be in a long, long grind if the Republicans take over the House in November.

Anyway, you can watch the hearings via live web stream at 2pm ET here.

Online Poker News :Phil Hellmuth Does Not Win 12th WSOP Bracelet

admin — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 04:04:01 +0000

Put those 12 bottles of Dom on ice a little longer…

Another close call, but Phil Hellmuth will not win his 12th WSOP bracelet today.

Hellmuth was eliminated in seventh place in Event #41 (,500 PLO 8oB). Had he won, this would’ve been Hellmuth’s first non-hold’em WSOP bracelet. For the…seventh…Hellmuth banks ,633.

When he was introduced and on many hands, we heard boos and even taunts against Hellmuth. The tournament announcer warned the crowd against taunting at one point. While Hellmuth’s TV antics are way over-the-top and probably getting worse, dude has many, many more haters than he did a couple of years ago. Crazy.

In related news, John Gottlieb is currently leading Event #41. If he were to close it out, this would not be his 12th bracelet. However, he may get some coffee, because coffee is for closers.

Follow the final table here.

UPDATE: Another Brit, Steve Jelinek, takes this one down. Jelinek defeated John Gottlieb heads-up for the title, banking 5,871.

In 2007 the Washington State gaming commission approved the game of 3 Card Blackjack. You can now play this superb blackjack variation at many of the brick and mortar casinos in Washington, USA. There is even talk of 3 card blackjack being added to casinos across the country and many internet casinos are thinking about adding it to their line-ups as well. Three card blackjack is a lot like playing blackjack and tri card poker at the same time.

Winning at 3 card blackjack doesn’t take much strategy so it is a popular game amongst recreational players. You won’t have to decide if you want to hit or split a hand in 3 card blackjack. You get three cards and if they are good you place a bet that is the same as the tables ante. The dealer must stay with 18 or higher. The major difference between 3 card blackjack and regular blackjack is you will receive three cards and you can use 2 or three to make the best blackjack hand. For example, A-5-5 would be 21. If you get an Ace with an y 10 pointer you automatically win the ante and your bet, even if the dealer has the same. Blackjacks only pay 1:1 though so that is important o remember.

You can also play the Ace Plus option, in addition to going against the dealer or all by itself. Getting any Ace will qualify you for a bonus ranging from 1:1 all the way up to 100:1.
