Last weekend the biggest pot (online) ever was played at Full Tilt on one of their highstakes tables. The pot reached the amount of $723 000, and with that it beats the old record of $607 000. Involved in this monster pot were "durrrr", Phil Ivey, "urindanger" and Gus Hansen. Winner of the pot was "urindanger" and he left the table after winning about $650 000!

I played a few hours at Action Poker and very rough session. I mean I was playing good than getting some bad beats than getting some chips than more bad beats:( And in between that, I got a suck out that saved me. One huge one, $80 pot. If I didn't hit a jack on the river, I'd be down $160. I ended today with $265, started with $230 so up $35 today and nearly unlocked $25 deposit bonus. And on top of that, I can trade my points in for cash or enter tournaments with them.

Two $80 pots..

	First one, when he raised me on the river my first instincts told me I'm beat but I only had 19 seconds to act and I was mulitabling and couldn't put him on a hand that beats mine. Thought maybe he had 77 but I beat that and thought it would probably be a split pot. Pretty sick..getting $38 in there on the river when I have position..ahhh shit
	Second hand, what can I say.. I never felt so happy when jack came on the river
	I like this play. Bet preflop, continuation bet flop than check/raise turn.
	This one, I think the timer was going 3,2,1 so I couldn't slide the bar to raise enough preflop. I got him to put all his money on the turn on a flush draw, unfortunately he hit his flush.

Okay, so BankrollMob has Action Poker $1000 Freeroll Every month. It was today and I played in it. Only 57 players so that's like $18 each if every one splits it but there's players sitting out and dead money too. There's 2 bounties, Action Poker Staff member and Bankrollmob staff member. Knock one of them out and get a $110 seat for another tournament. I was so close to knock one out, came down to a coin flip that I lost.

Anyway, back to the tournament. I had 80k chips, started with 5k. I was nearly 1st in chips, 8 players left. I push with 10s, guy calls with ace queen and hits queen on the river and I lose 55k. Next hand I push with king jack in small blind, big blind wakes up with ace 10 and I'm out in 8th place. 2 hands, nearly 1st to busted.. What can you do, I was aggressive and playing for 1st so happy with how I played. $35, would have liked $230 better. The thing I noticed is, I never had my whole stack in the pot until the last had. No one called my all ins. I just built my stack stealing blinds.

Ylon Schwartz (5 in chip count) and Dennis Phillips (chip leader) are two players that will play the WSOP Main Event final table on the 9th November, fighting for a prize pool of approximately 23.7 Million Dollars.

Now these 2 players have started an auction each on eBay where it's possible to bid on a ten-square-inch logo on their shirts.


The bidding price for a ten-square-inch logo on Ylon's shirt starts at 37 500 dollars, no bidders so far. Dennis Phillips started much lower than Ylon and have already received an offer of 13 600 dollars.

Both players will wear the shirt with the logo on during the WSOP Main Even Final Table which will be watched by many millions of people around the world.

All the money Dennis will make from this auction will go to National Multiple Sclerosis Society's Gateway Area Chapter in St. Louis. What Ylon will do with the money is not mentioned on his auction on eBay.

The online poker site Duplicate Poker launched their site about three years ago but are now forced to close down due to the current financial situation in the world. Duplicate Poker offered a kind of poker where all the players were dealt the same hands and the winner was the player that managed to win the most chips in that hand. The reason why the introduced this version of poker was to get around the UIGEA and offer a poker game that is pure skill.

On the website of Duplicate Poker they mention that they have been taking a hard hit due to the recent economic crisis in the US. All costumers will still be able to log in to their accounts and withdraw their funds.

Okay, so I went to the movies tonight. Watched 'Eagle Eyes', I didn't like it. My friends said it was pretty good but I thought it was so unrealistic. I guess I don't like fiction movies but I liked Matrix and Lord of the Rings. I guess Eagle Eyes is just too far fetched for me.

Anyway, after the movies, some of the prettiest girls I ever seen stopped us out side of LCBO (liquor Store) and asked if we'd buy them some beer for them because they're underage(they looked 17). My buddy was like no and I felt like the guys from dumb and dumber.



Ya, so anyways. We ended up playing poker and Warcraft 3 Dota
