WSOP updates, both of the regular and ‘E’ variety, play poker using a Rock Band Guitar, Phil Hellmuth fails and more in today’s edition of the PTPN Hit and Run, our daily wrapup of goings-on in the pokerverse.
If you didn’t get a chance to catch the WSOP on ESPN last night, we suggest catching it after the fact. ESPN’s coverage this year has been outstanding, showing that they took the lessons learned from 08 to heart. If you don’t like watching TV, we suggest catching up by reading Dr. Pauly’s excellent recap over at Tao of Poker.
More WSOP / ESPN: Darvin Moon, chipleader for the 2009 November Nine, is the featured guest on ESPN’s Inside Deal this week.
The WSOPE is down to just a couple dozen players. We won’t bother with telling you who they are, as the list will be outdated by the time we hit publish, but we will suggest to excellent sources for coverage. If you like up-to-the-minute chip counts, twitter feeds and all of that, check out Betfair’s official coverage page. If you don’t care so much about chip counts and the like but do like smoking hot women surrounded by a minimum of WSOPE-related text, try Wicked Chops.
Speaking of the WSOPE, Pokerati’s got a nice video of Phil Hellmuth’s WSOPE entrance failure. Obviously, it’s a failure on face, but it’s an even bigger failure when you learn that his entourage of scantily-clad women were refused entrance due to lack of ID.
From fail to win: PokerListings has a guide of how to turn your Rock Band guitar into an online poker controller. Now you can raise with star power flair.
From win to super-fail: Super-user-scandal-dogged online poker room Pitbull Poker appears to have shut down in the middle of the night. Hopefully most people got most of their monies off as the scandal was (slowly) unfolding over the summer.
Always a win: a good rakeback deal. Find out why Cake Poker has the most attractive rakeback deal for online poker players here.
