Huck Seed Wins Canadian Open

Huck Seed Wins Canadian Open
Poker Championships - Mar 12, 2008

1996 World Series of Poker Champion
Huck Seed has won the Main Event
of the 2008 Canadian Open Poker
Championships in Calgary.

He defeated one of Canada’s finest
poker exports, 'Yukon' Brad Booth
after a grueling best of 3 match that
lasted over five hours.

'This was an amazing tournament
in terms of both structure and quality
of players' said Seed, 'I love it when
the cream rises to the top and I get
a chance to play with the best in
the world. I am so happy that I
finally won a heads up tournament!'

Seed came 3rd in this inaugural
Canadian Open two years ago and
has also finished 3rd the last 2 years
in a row at the NBC Invitational Heads Up
Event. Seed takes home $100,000
for his first place finish.

Joe Hachem, who was eliminated
in the quarter final round approved
of the tournament structure, '
This is by far the best heads up
tournament I have ever played in
and I will definitely be back next year.'

Matusow is a Cheat ?

Here's a story that hasn’t seemed to have picked up much traction. The story is that Mike The Mouth Matusow slipped up on his Mouthpiece video blog on CardPlayer and said that he had played other player’s accounts.

posted by Short-Stacked Shamus

Speaking of breaking the rules, I happened to hear the guys over on the Hardcore Poker Show mention something about Mike Matusow’s latest “Mouthpiece” episode (on CardPlayer TV) in which he reveals having taken over for a friend deep in an online tourney, Sorel “Imper1um” Mizzi-style.

The Hardcore Poker guys refrained from commenting on the subject, saying they wanted to have Matusow on the show to let him explain what had occurred.I dialed up the “Mouthpiece” today -- the latest episode (#32), dated February 7th. After wading through the first 22 minutes or so, Matusow finally comes out with the admission during a ramble about online tournament poker.

Here’s what he says: “Tournament poker involves tremendous focus, I mean tremendous focus . . . . If I was to play tournaments online, I would have to play just the one tournament, and have everything turned off around me, and then put my heart into it. And I haven’t been able to do it yet except for once, and I did it once for a friend of mine who was six hours deep into a tournament -- I’m not gonna name what site -- and I took over for him because he’s not really a good closer, and we finished third. ’Cos I put my heart into it, and I knew we had chips to move with and I could evaluate players and we should have won it if we would have won a coin flip. So, that’s what it comes down to is the focus.”

Incredible, really, how casually Matusow admits to not following the rule against account-sharing. He doesn’t name the site, but I’m sure it has such a rule in place.

We all know the site that sponsors Matusow, Full Tilt Poker, has such a rule. No, Matusow seems completely unaware that what he did might be considered unethical and/or against the rules. He’s also obviously unaware of the irony of what he is saying. His point is that by taking over from his friend late in the tourney, he was able to focus much better than he would have had he played the first six hours himself. Meanwhile, Matusow is oblivious to the fact that those against whom he’s competing are themselves battling to maintain that “tremendous focus” after having put in the long hours beforehand.

In fact, he seems to be suggesting that the best way to stay focused is to do what you can to remain fresh -- e.g., not play the first part of the tournament and only step in at the end. That way you’ll be better able to “evaluate players” and play winning poker.

I don’t have it in for Matusow in particular here. I’m just tired of these pros acting as though all of these rules the rest of us take for granted somehow don’t apply to them. How did things go with Officer Blue? I got lucky. He let me off with just a warning. Sort of like getting my money in bad and sucking out. You better believe I’m coming to a full stop at that sign every time from now on. Of course, Matusow and his friend won’t even receive a warning -- only, perhaps, a small bit of backlash that will surely fade away in short order.

So . . . what is today’s “tip from the pro”? Let’s see . . . something to do with focus. I think I have it: Don’t focus on the rules so much that doing so affects your ability to focus on winning.Oh, and remember also -- put your heart into it.

Womens Events in Vegas this Summer

Las Vegas poker rooms are getting ready
for the coming 2008 World Series of Poker,
even if their name isn't Harrah's.

There will be several ladies events held in
other poker rooms the same week as the
Ladies Event at the WSOP.

Each day for four days there will be a
ladies event somewhere in Las Vegas!

On Friday, June 6th, Binions will hold a
Ladies Event as part of the Second Annual
Binions Poker Classic.
The event begins at 11 am with a buy-in of
$90+10, with 2,000 starting chips and a
bonus 2,000 for $10.

On Saturday, June 7th the LIPS Tour
will hold its Super Satellite at the
Golden Nugget (to be confirmed) for $155.
Seats will be given away to both the 2008
WSOP Ladies Event and another ladies event
(seat value: $330) to be announced.
The total number of seats given away will
be based on attendance.
The LIPSTour sponsors this Super Satellite
every year, and the turn out is terrific!
Expect it to be well attended and several
seats paid out.

Sunday, June 8th sees the Ladies Event at
the WSOP – a $1,000 entry into the most
prestigious ladies event of the year.
The event begins at noon at the Rio in the
Amazon Room. Be sure to register early,
as last year the lines were very long.
If you are lucky enough to win your way
into this event, it is wise to go and register
immediately after your satellite.

On Monday, June 9th, it's the Ladies Event
at the Golden Nugget Grand Poker Series.
This event starts at noon for a buy-in of
$330 for 4,000 in chips with a bonus 2,000

Golden Nugget Announces
'The Grand Poker Series'

January 29, 2008 by Haley Hintze

As a tie-in to this spring's upcoming poker
movie, The Grand, the Golden Nugget has
announced its 'The Grand Poker Series,'
which will run from June 6 – July 6, 2008.

The series is one of several lower-buyin options
available during this summer while the
World Series of Poker's seven-week run
draws thousands of players to Vegas.
The series features predominantly no-limit
hold'em events, but also sprinkles in some
Omaha and H.O.R.S.E. tourneys.

The buy-ins are designed to be generally
affordable for most bankrolls, with all events
falling between $200+25 and $500+50
excepting two events, the 'Grand Finale'
starting on July 5th, and the series opener,
a charity event hosted by Montel Williams
on June 6th. The buy-in for both of those
tourneys is $1,000+80.

Two other special events on the schedule
are a ladies tourney (June 9) and a
seniors event (June 23).

Bracelets will also be awarded to the winners
of the Grand Finale, the Ladies Event,
and the Montel fundraiser. All opening days
begin at noon Vegas time.

Here's the complete schedule for The Grand
Poker Series, at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas:

2008 WSOP Schedule

LAS VEGAS – December 11, 2007 – Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:HET) said today the 2008 World Series of Poker Presented by Milwaukee’s Best Light and televised exclusively on ESPN will – for the first time ever – begin and end with $10,000 buy-in World Championship events and feature a total of eight $10,000 championships.

In addition, the 55-event schedule for 2008 includes a total of eight $1,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em tournaments, which traditionally draw the largest fields except for the Main Event. The WSOP has also added a second start day for the first of the $1,500 no-limit competitions to accommodate the expected number of entrants.

“This is our most exciting schedule yet,” said Jeffrey Pollack, commissioner of the WSOP. “Both amateur and professional poker players will have new opportunities to compete for a WSOP bracelet and can choose from the widest variety of games and buy-ins ever offered in one poker tournament and certainly at the WSOP.

“We’re holding steady at 55 events this year,” said Pollack. “But, we’ve mixed it up a bit to keep it interesting for our players and fans.”

The 2008 WSOP starts May 30 with the $10,000 buy-in World Championship of Pot-Limit Hold’Em and ends July 16 with the Final Table of the $10,000 buy-in World Championship of No Limit Texas Hold ‘Em – best known as the WSOP Main Event.

The six other $10,000 buy-in events – all World Championship competitions – include: Heads-Up No-Limit Hold’Em; Seven-Card Stud; Limit Hold’Em; Omaha Hi-Low Split Eight or Better; Pot-Limit Omaha; and a new Mixed Event. The Mixed Event will feature eight variations of poker: Limit and No-Limit Hold’Em; Omaha Hi-Low and Pot-Limit Omaha; Seven Card Stud; Razz; Seven Card Hi-Low Split; and 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball.

The second event of the 2008 WSOP is a $1,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em tournament with two starting days – May 31 and June 1.

Pre-registration for the 2008 WSOP can be made beginning in February on-site at the Main Cage of the Rio® All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas or at www.worldseriesofpoker.com.

In addition to the largest cash prizes in poker, winners of each of the 55 events will receive an exclusive World Series of Poker gold bracelet crafted by the luxury Swiss watchmaker CORUM. Last year, 54,288 entrants who ranged in age from 21 (bracelet winner Steve Billirakis) to 94 (Main Event contestant Jack Ury) competed for the poker world’s largest total prize pool of nearly $160 million.

The 2008 WSOP will be staged inside the Rio Convention Center from May 30 through July 16. WSOP officials plan a “soft opening” of the tournament room on May 28 and 29 for players to register early and play in satellite tournaments and cash games.

“The poker tent is gone,” said Pollack. “We heard folks loud and clear last year, and there will be no tents used for tournament play at the 2008 WSOP.”

On July 2, and in conjunction with the WSOP, Oscar nominee Don Cheadle and poker professional Annie Duke will host the second annual Ante Up For Africa charity tournament at the Rio.

Last year’s AUFA event featured dozens of Hollywood celebrities and poker professionals and raised more than $700,000 for charity. Ante Up For Africa is a non-profit organization founded in 2006 by Cheadle, Duke and Norman Epstein and is dedicated to raising money and awareness for Africans in need.

July 3 is the first of four start days for the 2008 Main Event. Last year, a total of 6,358 entrants competed for a Main Event prize pool of $59.8 million. Players may choose their Main Event start dates as long as seats are available on the selected dates.

More information about the World Series of Poker is available at the Web site www.worldseriesofpoker.com.
