WSOP 2009 Update

There's been a lot of action so far at the 2009 World Series of Poker, and some NWP shouts are in order. First, big shout to Brett "get crunk" Richey, runner up of Event 27, the $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha 8. NWP was of course birding the action. GG Crunk.

Congrats also to Tom "tommyboy83" Koral, who has made TWO WSOP final tables so far this year, one in Event 18, the $10,000 World Championship Omaha 8 and another in Event 25, the $2500 Omaha 8/Stud 8. Tommy finished 7th in both. The O8/Stud8 final table was pretty sick, with big names like Phil Ivey, Jon "Pearljammer" Turner, Carlos Mortensen and Dutch Boyd joining Tommy. Phil Ivey took it down, capturing his second World Series of Poker bracelet this year and his seventh overall. As we found out in Ivey's post-win interview (conducted by Micon and Jimmy "Gobboboy" Fricke), the victory allowed Ivey to scoop all of his bracelet prop bets (rumored to be well in the millions of dollars). Tough life.

Last but certainly not least, best of luck to NWP's namesake, Dustin "Neverwin" Woolf, who has made the Elite Eight of Event 29, the $10,000 World Championship Heads Up No Limit Hold'em. Play resumes tomorrow (Monday) at 2 PM. Rail Dustin in the NWP Poker Forum. ONE TIME DUSTY.
