Main Event Final Table 2008 WSOP – November Nine

Erick Mastack — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 04:37:07 +0000

Are you familiar with the 2008 World Series of Poker? Have you heard of the November 9? How about Dean Hamrick? Hamrick was the player who got knocked out at 10th position at the 2008 world series of poker main event in Las Vegas.

Out of a field of 6844 players, their are 9 left to battle it out the top prize of $9.1 million. These 9 players are referred to as the “November Nine” because they will be competing for the WSOP championship on November 9th.

Last July, more than 6000 players coughed up the $10,000 main event buy-in fee. Normally, the main event is played out to one winning player. Not so this year. The tournament was stopped when Dean Hamrick was knocked out and their was 9 players left. The main event is scheduled to resume play on November 9th and expected completion on the 11th.

A few days from now you are going to see the following main event final table, “november 9″, players hit the felt for some of the greatest poker and a whopping $9.1 million US first place prize. Watch the november 9 speak on video about their upcoming main event final table:

Choosing an Online Poker Site

Erick Mastack — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 02:00:27 +0000

Online Poker site – several top poker rooms to choose from

There are numerous online poker rooms to choose from. Some differences among the sites include software features, game types, graphics, character and avatar features, and number of players at the site.

The best way to choose an online poker room is to try it out. It’s as simple as downloading the free software, signing up and joining a table. I will explain this in more detail on the next few pages. As well, I will show you how to get a free cash sign up bonus at each site. Take a look at some online poker sites in this review:

FullTiltPoker (US friendly) 100% bonus up to $600 free – enter bonus code RIVERNUTS during sign up.

PokerStars (US friendly) 100% bonus up to $50 free – click here poker stars

CarbonPoker (US friendly) 100% bonus up to $200 free – click here Carbon Poker

Ultimatebet (US friendly) 100% bonus up to $650 free – enter bonus code BONUSMONEY

Ok…so you noticed I only mention 4 poker rooms. Obviously there are plenty more online poker sites, but these four online poker rooms are the top choices. Each of these poker sites are strong in almost all aspects of online poker play. I have included the bonus offers and bonus codes for you to take advantage of. The bonus offers are free…but you have to complete a certain number of raked hands before they are released. I suggest playing lower limits at first (within the sites bonus guidelines) and then moving up in limits when you are comfortable.

I am going to talk about some interesting aspects of the game of online poker in future posts.

Good Luck with the bonus clearing!

This is my second in a series of three profiles of Full Tilt’s final table trio. See also my profile of Craig Marquis and my coming profile of Kelly Kim.

#575 – CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENT – 3B – TOURNAMENT STAR

Erick Mastack — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 18:13:14 +0000

I’m trying to get a few things confirmed with Scott Montgomery before I post my profile of him, but I didn’t want to delay the contest suggested by his tournament prowess. This is a slightly modified version of the “Buy the Coach” contest. It replaces that contest.
You’ve made the Final Table of the Main Event [...]

#574 – CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENT – 3A – CASH GAME KILLER

Erick Mastack — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 18:13:13 +0000

Apologies for any inconvenience and delay resulting from my suspending/modifying the contest announced last week. But I realized that it could be even better if I replaced that contest with THREE contests, each geared toward a characteristic about one of Full Tilt’s WSOP final table trio. This contest, inspired by Craig Marquis, is titled CASH [...]

#573 – World Series Final Table Profile #1 – Craig Marquis – Cash Game Killer

Erick Mastack — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 18:13:12 +0000

New Year’s Eve, 2007 – Craig Marquis, 21, attends the New Year’s Eve party of Tom Dwan and David Benefield, a pair of even younger men who recently bought a house in Forth Worth, Texas. Marquis is, like most 21 year-olds, just beginning the journey to get to where he wants to go: he was [...]

#572 – Stop the Presses (and Stop the Depression)!

Erick Mastack — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 18:13:11 +0000

First, I am changing the contest rules to Buy the Coach.
Second, I am officially over my spiralling depression.
I had a nice talk with my dad – he’s always there when things are messed up in my life and I think I’m always there for him, though I routinely miss birthdays and anniversaries and neglect to [...]

Hey, I’m GIVING AWAY buy-ins to FTOPS X!

Erick Mastack — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 18:13:11 +0000

A couple days ago, I announced the start of the Blog’s third essay contest, Buy the Coach. Maybe the process of explaining how you’d prepare for the final table of the WSOP Main Event is a daunting one or you’re taking admirable care in crafting your entries, but I haven’t gotten very many responses.
I’m giving [...]

#571 – Dispatches – Part II – Life on a Losing Streak

Erick Mastack — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 18:13:10 +0000

I’m trying to maintain some equilibrium in my life because, after all, results-oriented thinking should be discouraged in poker. The key is to play well all the time. The results will follow, but not always equal to the quality of your play.
That’s the theory, anyway. But results feel good – or bad. Getting aces cracked [...]

#570 – Dispatches from an Uncommunicative Correspondent – Part I – A Wayward Son Seeks Forgiveness

Erick Mastack — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 18:13:09 +0000

Dear Uncle Tilty:
Nobody can say it hasn’t been a rocky road for us lately. The World Series was a disjointed mess. London was a disaster. When I look back on it, I think some of the writing was good, but there were definitely times I wanted to quit, and probably some times where I should [...]
