Steve Sung Wins $771,106 at 2009 WSOP Event 4
Date: Thu, Jun 4, 2009
Getting to the top of the pile when 6,012 poker players are vying to do the same thing involves a good deal of skill and enough luck to win the all of the all-ins. That's exactly what Steve Sung
did when he finished atop the leader board in event #4, the $1,000 "Stimulus Special" No-Limit Hold'Em tournament that set a record for number of entrants in a non-WSOP Main Event.

Tom McEvoy Wins WSOP Champion Invitational
Date: Tue, Jun 2, 2009
One thing about the 2009 WSOP Champions Invitational tournament was the quality of poker talent represented by the field of former WSOP Main Event winners. Every table was a table of death with this high powered group. When the cards were all on the table it was 1983 WSOP Main Event winner Tom McEvoy with all the chips and the title. Robert Varkonyi finished second in the blue-ribbon event.
Tom McEvoy said about the event, "This is the toughest field I have ever played against," possibly the poker understatement of the year. Congratulations to Tom for winning the 1970 red Corvette from the Imperial Palace Auto Collection. The rare American sports car has a 454 ci engine and has been completely restored with zero miles on the odometer.
Doyle Brunson and Mike Caro Announce Las Vegas Power Poker Seminar Series at Rio
Date: Tue, Jun 2, 2009
Poker players will be given a chance to learn directly from poker pros when the Rio presents Power Poker Seminars hosted by Doyle Brunson and Mike Caro, and the two have announced that they will waive the $95 entry fee.
Doyle "Texas Dolly" Brunson is a record-breaking professional poker player boasting 10 WSOP bracelets and is a member of the Poker Hall of Fame. Brunson began playing poker in college and not until he was a salesman did the thought of playing for a living cross his mind. On his first day of work he won a month's wages in three short hours. Throughout three decades Brunson maintained his reputation as the world's greatest poker player.
Mike Caro, also known as "The Mad Genius of Poker" is the leading authority on poker strategy, psychology and statistics. A respected odds maker and highly regarded poker professional, Brunson calls him, "the finest draw player alive." Caro founded the Mike Caro University of Poker, Gaming and Life Strategy in 1998 where he is the head instructor.
The seminars will take place at Pavilion 9 inside the Rio convention area at 3700 West Flamingo Road, Las Vegas, NV and are scheduled during the weeks leading up to the Main Event in an effort to better prepare poker players for the world's biggest tournament, and each seminar will include a question and answer session with Doyle Brunson.
The schedule for the seminars is as follows:
Saturday, June 13 @ 10am - Mike Caro's Best Hold'em and Tournament Advice
Sunday, June 14 @ 10am - Mike Caro's Best Real World and Online Poker Advice
Saturday, June 27 @ 10am - Mike Caro's Tells, Psychology and Manipulation
Sunday, June 28 @ 10am - Mike Caro's Grand Poker Seminar: 50 Best Tip Countdown
Seating for the Power Poker Seminars is available on a first-come first-served basis and admission is free and open to guests 21 years and older.
Sunday was a 2 Bracelet Day at the 2009 WSOP
Date: Mon, Jun 1, 2009
2009 Edition
Two gold WSOP bracelets found new owners today at the 2009 World Series of Poker at the Rio Resort Las Vegas. Both bracelets are special entries in poker's rich history.
The first bracelet went to the defending champion of the 2008 WSOP Omaha Hi/Lo $1,500 buy-in event and now the 2009 WSOP Omaha Hi/Lo $1,500 buy-in champion, Thang Luu. This last time a defending champion repeated was in 1988 when Johnny Chan scored a Main Event double. In addition, Luu finished second in the 2007 WSOP Omaha Hi/Lo $2K buy-in.
A second gold WSOP bracelet heads for Russia after Vitaly Lunkin outlasted the talent rich field of players in the $40,000 buy-in Ho-Limit Hold'Em 40th anniversary event. Vitaly also struck cash and will ferry out almost $2 million in cash. Will there be a 2nd annual $40,0000 event next year?
2,998 Players Show-Up for Day 1A of WSOP Event #4
Date: Sun, May 31, 2009
2,998 poker players entered Event #4, $1,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em, at the 2009 World Series of Poker with Saturday's 1A group down to 375 at quitting time. Few of poker's elite made the Day 1 cut. Sunday is already a sell-out unless the WSOP staff can locate more tables; but, no matter, this will be the largest field ever for a non-Main Event poker tournament.
Hurry on down to the Rio Las Vegas and watch poker history in the making where everyday brings enough drama for a lifetime and there's plenty of stress, too.

Rio Resort Ready for the 40th WSOP
Date: Sun, May 24, 2009
2009 will mark the fortieth anniversary of the World Series of Poker. It was 1970 when Benny Binion invited a half dozen of the world's best poker players to come and play in a game of high stakes poker and decide by vote the world's best poker player. Poker legend Johnny Moss won the very first title that was decided by a vote of his 5 peers that year and then went on to win two more world champion poker player titles after the freeze out format was adopted in 1971. Benny Binion's son, Jack Binion, is credited with naming the new freeze-out format poker tournament the "World Series of Poker."
Most bracelets (11), Most Cashes (68), Most Final tables (41)
The only three time Main Event champion that won all three titles was the poker genesis, Stuey "The KId" Ungar. Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan, and Stu Ungar are the only WSOP champions to chalk up back-to-back titles. Phil Hellmuth is in a class unto himself with a number of WSOP records - most bracelets, most final tables, most cashes, and for almost twenty years he held the record for youngest player (24) to win a Main Event. Peter Eastgate eclipsed Hellmuth's youth record last year when he won the Series first 'Main Event in November' at the young age of 22.
In 1970 there were six players invited to play in the Championship game, in 2006 8,773 poker players made their way to the WSOP poker room at the Rio Resort for the main event. The World Series of Poker moved to the Rio Resort from Binion's Horseshoe in 2005, returning downtown for one last time to play the Main Event final table won by Joseph Hachem, the last WSOP Main Event Champion crowned at the downtown Horseshoe. Jamie Gold collected the record WSOP winner's purse of $12 million in 2006.
What's new and better this year? Past performance indicates the 2009 WSOP will be the best yet. A $40,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em tournament (event #2) has been added to celebrate the 40th anniversary. ESPN360 will stream live broadcasts online of 24 final tables. The official name of the 2009 WSOP is World Series of Poker Presented by Jack Link's Beef Jerky. "PokerPalooza! Part trade show, part carnival, all fun!" says the Harrah's promo.
Annie Duke to host charity poker tournament with 20 Joan Rivers impersonators
Date: Thu, May 21, 2009
Annie Duke is fighting back at Joan Rivers' insensitive comments about poker players.
Duke and Rivers were both finalists on NBC's "The Celebrity Apprentice," where Duke was fired and Rivers was hired.
On May 27 at 6 p.m., Duke and her poker sponsor Ultimate Bet will hold a charity poker tournament at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, where she will flood the tables with more than 20 Joan Rivers impersonators (including impressionist Frank Marino, who does a fantastic Joan Rivers), each with a bounty on their head. The name of the charitable event? "Sucking out on the Rivers."
The buy-in is $200, and all of the prize money will go to the winner, with the suggestion that the winner donate half the winnings to the Refugees International charity (the Nevada Gaming Commission prohibits all of a prize pool going directly to a charity).
On "The Apprentice," Rivers called all poker players "white trash" and linked them to organized crime.
