Poker’s In and Out List: durrrr’s Travel, France Bangs Gavel
November 28, 2011
Another week is in the books and we’ve got a brand new batch of snap judgments to get you ready for the sweet, sweet weekend.
Three things are good, three not so much. Read on to see who has earned our begrudging respect and at whom we’ll be shooting dirty looks.
Poker’s In List: July 30 – August 5, 2011
Macau: In
Macau is in this week because it’s consistently proving that Las Vegas isn’t the only place where famous players go to play live high-stakes poker.
A bunch of pros were in attendance at the Asian Poker King Tournament’s 100 HKD High-Roller event this week, including eventual winner McLean Karr, nosebleed regulars Tom Dwan and Patrik Antonius and Olympic medal winning machine Michael Phelps.
Karr took down roughly $104,000 for winning the tournament but we’re sure a lot more than that changed hands in the side games.
Huck Seed: In
Black Friday may have stopped most of us from winning money by playing electronic poker but Huck Seed isn’t most of us.
Seed nailed a royal flush playing video poker at the Aria Casino in Las Vegas this week for $670,000. Seed said he was taking a $40,000 shot at the $100 machine, and that it wasn’t his first time doing it.
Elsewhere in the country Allen Kessler inexplicably turned green with envy.
Gazes, Caro and Heintz: In
Three new inductions have been made to the Women in Poker Hall of Fame.
Huck Seed hit the royal while playing $500 per hand Jacks or Better.
Kristy Gazes, Phyllis Caro and Margie Heintz have all been honored with the addition. They join the ten women inducted since the organization was created in 2008.
Kristy Gazes is a regular on the live tournament circuit with more than $1 million in earnings.
Phyllis Caro is the Director of Poker Operations for Hollywood Park Casino in Los Angeles and has held key positions in the poker industry in a career that’s spanned more than three decades.
Margie Heintz is the Director of Poker Operations for El Dorado Casino in Reno and in 1977 she was the first woman to ever deal at the World Series of Poker.
