Tidal Wave: Poker News from 9/20-9/29

Whooo! It's been a long time, 9days to be exact, since we had a Tidal Wave of news and now we have a lot. So here it is.

• We've seen Dwan lose massive pots to Jungleman12 and eventually win some back.
• Phil Ivey and Isildur1 ran super deep in the WSOPE Main Event with Ivey busting out in 19th place.
• Gus Hansen makes it to the final of the WSOPE Heads Up tourney and WINS 1st Bracelet!
• Seattle still bans online poker...BOOOO them!
• ESPN3 streams slightly delayed but otherwise live poker play from the WSOPE Championship Event
• Patrik Antonius has a steller weekend on the high stakes tables at Full Tilt w/a $1million dollar w/e
• "Ziigmund" loses and breaks even for the year so far.
• James Bard becomes the WSOPE Main Event to the tune of 830,401lbs which = A buttload of us dollars..but he's english so the conversion doesn't matter anyway..but it's a lot (ok fine $1.3mil)
• Isildur1 is outed as Viktor Bloom...well not offically by anyone but I say it's true! and he finished 15th in the WSOPE Main Event
• Phil Hellmuth did some more retarded sh#@t only this time he did it with a bunch of lady gaga impersonators...SIDE NOTE I first learned to play poker via Hellmuth's Texas Hold'em, now that was some years ago. I fully understand he embraced the "Poker Brat" personality but now,...it's just distracting from poker.

whoa brother have we got some matchups this week! The 'Phins are going to have a tough one against the Jets but I believe they're defense will be up to the task and the offense will come alive. I... honestly think game to watch Sunday is tied between Bills vs. Pats (it'll be close) and Tenn vs NYG...look for those games to be exciting.
