PokerPadz® Poker Dogs Bill Edler Poker Netcast

If a poker dog is too tired too play ball, then what's left in life?

I have been following the WPT LA Poker Classic and we are now at Day 4 and Bill Edler is the chip leader. Who is Bill Edler most people ask? People who don't player poker.

This is amazing as I recently met Bill at the "Poker Netcast Heads Up Poker Challenge" at the Crystal Casino in Los Angeles 3 weeks ago, where he won the entire event! He out played the following poker players, plus a few others to equal 64 players in total:

- Barry Greenstein
- Yosh Nakano
- Todd Brunson
- Huck Seed
- 'Yukon'Brad Booth
- Dr. Jerry Buss
- Cyndy Violet
- David Benyamine
- Jeff Madsen
- Gabe Kaplan
- Chip Reese
- Robert Jean Bellande
- Hasan Habib
- Eli Elezra
- Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi
- Gavin Smith
- Joe Sebok
- Chad Brown
- Erick Lindgren
- Daniel Negreanu
- Clonie Gowen
- Carlos Mortenson
- John Phan
- Freedie Deeb
- Freddie Bonyadi
- Patrick Antonious
- Hoyt Corkins
- Marco Tranielo


in 3 days of intense heads up poker action and when the cards unfolded, there was only one winner and that last man standing; was Bill Elder! For more information click on Heads Up Challenge

Bill is a wonderful, humble poker player who not only deserved this title but many more to come!

I wish him continued success (unless he is at my poker table this weekend at the WPT Celebrity Invitational) not only with next years "Poker Netcast Heads Up Challenge" but with this years WPT La Poker Classic and that Bill doesn't bite off the hand that feeds him...

We shall see what I fetch for tomorrow……

PokerPadz® Poker Dogs - Pokier Charities Paul Hannum

Today’s topic is about charities and poker with todays photo in memory of both Paul Hannum and his dog Bob.


Poker is notorious for being greedy, selfish, downward spiral in ruining people’s lives, etc…although to be honest, I have found nothing but the opposite to be true.

Almost a year ago a close friend of mine passed away at the young age of 45 leaving behind a fiancee who was 7 months pregnant. He was a camera man on the World Poker Tour and well known amongst the poker players, producers, casino’s, etc…

We held the first ever “Paul Hannum No Limit Hold' Em Charity Poker Tournament” at the Bicycle Casino in Bell Gardens, CA in August of 2006. Gavin Smith and my self put on this event and Jennifer Tilly ended up winning first prize of 25K and turned around and donated it all directly to “Baby Hannum.”

Jennifer Tilly will forever be the most generous person on this planet in my eyes and “Baby Hannum’s.”

This year the plan is to have the "Paul Hannum Annual No Limit Hold Em' Charity Poker Tournament II," August 2007 at the Bicycle Casino and the buy-in is only $200 + $30 entry fee, with multi re-buys with 100% of the proceeds going to Baby Hannum.

So far the donated prizes are:

Full Tilt Poker – A $10,000 buy in to a World Poker Tour Event of their choice, plus $2,000 in their Full Tilt account.

Pokerstars – A PokerStars Caribbean Adventure package. This includes an $8,000 buy in to the tournament, plus 7 nights hotel at the Atlantis Resort. The package also includes $1,000 in the winners PokerStars account to help with travel expenses.

WPT – Entry into the 2008 WPT Celebrity Invitational, which will be played in LA in March 2008.

Ultimate Bet - A $10,000 Aruba prize package consisting of, one $5,200 entry and $4,800 for travel expenses.

In addition we will have an auction where one can purchase the Bluff Magazine 2006 World Series of Poker actual poker table that all of the poker pro's and celebrities signed. We will also be auctioning of poker memorabilia autographed by the poker pro's themselves such as Gavin Smith, Phil Hellmuth, Scotty Nguyen, Mike "The Grinder" Mizrachi, Mike Sexton, Vince Van Patten, etc...

If you have any poker gear or prizes that you wish to donate please contact me at Kristin@Pokerpadz.com for shipping information.

Thank you in advance for your support. Will Jennifer Tilly hold onto her title this year or will somebody new become our PH Champion - only the cards will tell in due time.

We shall see what I fetch for tomorrow……

PokerPadz® Poker Dogs II

Welcome back to “PokerPadz™ Poker Dogs” where you won’t read a recent update on Britney Spears,Anna Nicole Smith,Owen Wilson or the Oscars - you can catch that on Perez Hilton


Today I am talking about “PokerPadz™,” the most innovative poker gift in the world. I can say that because I am one of 2 creators of this wonderful poker accessory.

Sounds silly, right? A miniature poker table mouse pad that allows people to shuffle their chips while working or playing online poker. But how silly is it really? Poker players love to shuffle their poker chips while away from the actual poker table at their local casino and what better place to practice your riffling while on the telephone, playing online poker, channel surfing, working on an excel document, surfing the net for Wii or digital cameras, etc…

If you don’t own one yet, you should. We are running a “2 for 1” special that won’t last long, so try out this new poker gear and feel free to email us your review of our product and we will add it to our upcoming testimonial page.

We shall see what I fetch for tomorrow……

PokerPadz® Poker Dogs

This kicks off the series of “PokerPadz™ Poker Dogs” - a series of short blogs about poker events and novelty items unleashed around the world. The focus is on innovative poker concepts.

The latest innovative poker phenomena is - “Poker Netcast.” “Poker Netcast” streams LIVE cash poker games and tournaments directly to the internet. Cameras pick up unscripted and unedited poker action with real players and real money supported with commentary. Bart, Bostin, Nicole and Kirsten have bones to pick with the majority of the players after viewing how they played their hands or how they didn’t play their hands!

I had the privilege of attending 2 of their recent events – “Heads Up Poker Challenge” at the Crystal Casino and “Hoopology Celebrity Poker Event” with Michael Jordan and Trent Tucker at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

It was a once in a life time experience as Joker Gaming, LLC the producers of “Poker Netcast,” have mastered the art of live action poker coverage while streaming LIVE to the internet. Joker Gaming is famously known for “Live at the Bike” and recently have branched out in their development of “Poker Netcast.”

Both of these events in addition to over 1500 hours of archived episodes are available at PokerNetcast. You will improve your game as you watch each episode.

We shall see what I fetch for tomorrow……
