Tidal Wave of Poker News!

Alright Poker Surfers and Surfettes here is you Tidal Wave of poker news

First and Foremost here is an update on the Aussie Millions

  • Erik Sidel took down the Super High Roller Event for a cool AUD$2.5 Million, Sam Tricket came in 2nd for AUD$1.5 Million and David Benyamine finished 3rd for AUD$1 Million. Why call it the Super High Roller Event? well b/c the buy in was a staggering $250,000 yeah so only 20 people entered and 3 got paid. Notables were Tom Dwan busting out in 18th place rather quickly and Phil Ivey finished 8th
  • Aussie Millions Main Event Won by an Aussie! David Gorr  the 68 yr. old aussie showed that he could take out the likes of  Patrik Antonius aka Adonis (seriously someone ugly that guy up some and give us regular hot guys a chance) who finished at 8th place for AUD$130k and the other younger guys. David Gorr will take home a nice AUD$2 Million.
Now the UB.com UBOC 6 Series, just this weekend left for some major play and pay
  • Event 27 is today. at 4pm and is a $100+9 buy-in NLH Turbo w/Unlimited Rebuys with $100,000 GTD hosted by P0kerH0...and look for that event to have a much bigger prize pool than the GTD for sure.
  • Sunday at 4pm, skip the Pro Bowl game and look to play UBOC's Championship Monster Stack NLH w/a buy-in of $1,000 +50 and $1Million GTD hosted by the newly signed Prahlad Friedman
  • Then on Sunday at 6:30 look for the UBOC $100k GTD NLH Deep Stack Turbo w/a buy-in of $300+20  hosted by TEAM UB bust the pro's out for prizes!
And don't forget the MINI UBOC Events
  • Today at 4pm Mini-UBOC27 NLH Turbo Unlimited Rebuys $10,000 GTD buy-in $10+1
  • Sunday's Events----at 4pm Mini-UBOC Championship Monster Stack NLH $50,000 GTD buy-in $50+5 and at 6:30 Mini-UBOC CLoser NLH Deep Stack Ultra Turbo $10,000GTD buy-in of $30+3
And John Racener twitted that Full Tilt Poker is running a promo this week where you can buy into every tourney up to 4 times, however we've yet to see anything on this. Meanwhile you can view his twitter at twitter.com/racener

Tidal Wave of Poker News!!!

COWABUNGA, SURFS UP!!!   it's a Tidal Wave of poker news coming straight at ya!

Ok Poker Surfers and Surfettes I know we've been gone way to looooong but we're back with some cool ass poker news for you! Here we go! (not like the bud light commercial, more like Tag-Teams "Whoop der it is!")

  • UB.com's UBOC series has been off the charts with major events, but most recently we saw a 3-way chop in the $162 buy-in No Limit Hold'em Deep Stack Sniper event, then a secret 4 way chop in the $2,100 buy in  Super High Roller Event that saw a very cool 387 players with a prize pool of $774,000! 1st place JARFISH scooped a nice $124,000 WOW!
  • GSN's High Stakes Poker is back for season number 7, but not without some sort of controversy.  PokerStars had swung in awhile back and bought up the sponsorship rights to the show, right out from under former sponsor Full Tilt Poker. So the question in the air is "will FT pro's be playing on the show" b/c if not we'll miss some of the games biggest names like Tom Dwan, Phil Ivey, and Patrik Antonius. Not to mention Howard Lederer and EDOG! Erik Lindgren.  We do know that Doyle Brunson, Barry Greenstein and Danile Negraneu, negranu, neg ...how do you spell is freaking name, even google's confused..uh grown man Kid Poker will be returning to the show which will air on it's new night Saturday at 8pm Feb.26.  and for the record it was filmed in the Bellagio.
  • Aussie Millions is underway and at the Aussie Millions Cash Game Patrik Antonius has been killing it! Patrik also had a killer weekend at the Full Tilt Poker tables raking in around $447,000
  • Grown man Kid Poker has said that he's trying to get passed the 50,000 VPP (points) he earned last year on Poker Stars and go for Poker Stars SUPER NOVA or also know as reaching 100,000 points. Read more here Grown Man Kid Poker
  • And Team Cowabunga Poker is still in it at the Global Poker League.
  Go Get 'em Poker Surfers and Surfettes!!! COWABUNGA!!!
