My favorite line is that supposedly Phil Ivey asked, "So how much is it for first place anyway?"
I'm sure there are plenty of guys that are going to be motivated even more now.....Giddyup boys!

I guess this goes to show the power of being on the televised poker shows. Talk about an oldtimers list, huh? Funny how Sammy gets in over MoneyMaker (as do later champs Raymer and Hachem).
There were alot of the young guns (with bracelets obv), that staged strong campaigns over Twitter and other outlets, but none got in. Elky had to win a sponsor's sitngo to earn his seat, so he doesn't count. Should be an interesting show.
In other news.....my crappy run seems to be stuck in the on position. I am tempted to show you guys the beauties that I have been taking recently, but I am really hating on BB stories as of late. And I'm talking about huge pots where the winner zooms to the chip leader position. Last Sunday I lost more holding boats than I ever have. In the Stars Sunday Million, I got 1 outed after making my boat on the Turn, my opponent makes his boat on the river for a huge pot...and then to add insult to injury, another player chimes in how he folded his other out. Sigh! I've been through this before, and know you have to just play through it all.

Durrrr
Given I'm not doing much on the poker front these days, I must say I am completely caught up in all the World Series of Poker coverage.
Leading the way as always, is the great Dr Pauly, over at Taoofpoker. If your not reading his daily post, you are really missing out on more than just WSOP coverage.
Unless you've been under a rock, you probably are very well aware of what was going on last night, during Event #11. Durrrr almost got his bracelet, coming runnerup, and the collective poker breatheren sighed a huge sigh of relief. You see, Durrrr has a boat load of $$$ on winning a bracelet, from the likes of Negreanu, Brunson, Elezra, Seed, Matusow and Ivey, just to mention a few. The rumors have him banking anywhere from 5-10 Million!!!
That Durrrr has major Godzilla size balls, that's for sure. Here he is after coming in 2nd last night, being interviewed by CP:
I'll tell you, I am so missing the ESPN360 coverage.....boy did they miss the boat! I don't know what the suits were thinking this year, but this is some great stuff!
BTW - check out Terrence's post on Durrrr too....great points on why it could have been the biggest poker game of all time!
