Jul 21st
by Joanne Haslam The Montblanc Mystery Masterpiece takes over a year and a half to create, it’s set with 20 carats of rubies, accented by almost 840 diamonds, and will set you back $730,000. You may wonder what all this has to do with Twitter poker? Well today was the penultimate tourney of the Twitter Poker League’s first season, and I needed an intro it seemed appropriate to think about the ultimate pen.

WSOP Main Event Day 7: Jorgensen on the slide as pressure mounts on final 40
Jul 17th
There is no such thing as a guarantee in poker. When there’s no limit – either to betting or to fear – a major confrontation is never too far away. Even the soundest horses can pull up lame; the safest house can be blown away. Let’s get this straight right now: Theo Jorgensen is not out of this tournament. But the man many people were considering to be the only real lock for the final table is now one of the short stacks. It all went down on the last hand before dinner

Exciting Morning Before the Day Before Day 7The Poker Beat
Jul 16th
The Poker Beat’s Huff-honcho was away crafting his life and future … so I somehow, as a third- or fourth-stringer, commandeered the hosting chair. Think I can now lay claim to being the Glen Carano of poker podcasting! With @ JessWelman , @BJNemeth , and new-to-twitter @GaryWise1 providing analysis and reality checks, we got into Israel’s sudden crackdown on online gambling , the WSOP-Circuit revamp, and of course, the latter stages of the 2010 WSOP Main Event … along with the WPT Season 9 overhaul, which happened to be getting underway across the highway at Bellagio, in rather star-powered fashion.

WSOP Main Event Day 5: JP Kelly, to the big stack born
Jul 15th
It’s getting to that stage of the World Series Main Event when some really big stacks emerge. Not just big in a numerical sense (although plenty are that too) but physically big, tower upon tower of multi-coloured chips behind which their owner appears to shrink. Some people suit the big stack better than others – think about it for a moment and there’s some player you just can’t imagine with millions of chips.
WSOP Main Event Day 4: Bubble, bursting, misery, money
Jul 14th
As soon as organisers published the schedule for this year’s World Series Main Event, it seemed likely that day four would be when we reached our first major turning point. So it proved. This was bubble day, when 747 players stood up, hugged one another, cheered their appreciation and breathed deep sighs of relief – all as one lonesome soul felt his heart splinter, be ripped from his chest, be held aloft by a whooping shaman (like the one in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom ), and then be cast into the furnace of hell. It doesn’t even matter especially that Tim McDonald was the 6,572nd player knocked out of this tournament. His elimination – when his queens lost to Ismail Erkenov’s [ah][2h] – meant that he was the last player (officially) to leave with nothing.
