You may have turned on the television and watched celebrities play Toto HK Some of the celebrities are good while some of the celebrities are not. One of the good celebrity poker players that I have seen is Mena Suvari, star of American Beauty. Mena Suvari is the classic example of a woman that is good at poker. She is able to use her charm when she needs it. She is able to throw men off guard. She is able to take advantage of situations when she has to. She is not all stuck up with her celebrity status when she plays poker. She makes it a point that everyone on the poker table is equal. The only difference between the players is how the game is played. Mena Suvari does a good job at being composed at the poker table and she also knows when to be aggressive.

A celebrity that is also good at poker is Matthew Perry, who starred as Chandler in the hit television series, Friends. Matthew is very good at making faces so he is able to confuse his opponent with what he is thinking. He may have a good hand but make a really weird face. When his opponents look at him, they are simply thrown off guard. They do not have any idea on how to read his cards because he is so good at making faces. He also makes smart remarks and tries to crack jokes from time to time to loosen him self up. Matthew is also one of the guys at the poker table who will be composed but at the same time he will also be tricky to read.

One of the celebrities that also do a good job on the poker table is Neil Patrick Harris, the star of Doogie Howser MD in the eighties. Neil is very good and witty when it comes to playing his hands. He knows exactly when to call and he also knows exactly when not to call. If you are one of the opponents of Neil, you better make sure that …

Yesterday evening saw the conclusion of one of the most important events in this years WCOOP calendar. The $1000 + $15 No Limit Hold ‘em tournament, otherwise known as Event #20, holds the honor of having the biggest guaranteed prize pool outside of the main event. A fantastic $3,000,000 was added in advance of any buy-in money, meaning that the finest of the finest of the poker stars crop were out in force to compete for a prestigious WCOOP bracelet.
As you might expect, among this stellar field were a cavalcade of Team toto hk Pros. Barry Greenstein, in particular, showing laudable dedication to the cause – competing in the Event #20 despite having completed his 9th place run in the H.O.R.S.E tournament just that morning. Other pros who turned out to accompany him included: Chris Moneymaker, Dario Minieri, Bertrand “ElkY” Gosspellier, Greg Raymer, Humberto Brenes, Joe Hachem, John Duthie, and Vanessa Rousso.
These recognizable names contributed to a final tally of 3,467 players, meaning that the prize pool came in at a massive $3,467,000. All the players were given plenty of time to work their magic, with deep stacks starting at 15,000, relative to the blinds of only 25/50 in level one. The tournament was scheduled to run over two days.
Despite arriving in force there were only two Team PokerStars members left in the running once Day 1 had come to an end. Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier and Humberto Brene were left to fly the flag for their fallen professional compatriots. ElkY’s progress in particular is commendable, given that in the previous event (#19), the $25,000 High-Roller Heads-Up No Limit Hold em’ tournament, he finished in second place.
His good form looked to be continuing after he doubled up early, A-A against Q-Q, and with half of the day 2 field eliminated both pros were still in the hunt. Although Brenes days looked to be numbered when his A-K rain into the K-K of the unpronounceably named VuaXi`Tô, a lone bullet on the flop saved him from elimination. Lady Luck, however, would not shine on Humberto another time. Again …
