Today is the final table of the World Poker Tour LA Poker Classic at the Commerce Casino.
The buy-in was $9,900, 665 players equaling $6,288,000 in total prize pool....
Jennifer Tilly finished 12th - way to go Jennifer taking home a cool $61,610!
And an excellent performance by Mike Watson, finishing 10th taking home $61,610, as well. He played in the Poker Netcast home game the night before the main event and I'm confident that playing in this game helped him to brush up on his poker skills and allowed him to finish so strong. He's an excellent commentator and can be watched at www.pokernetcast.com in a few weeks.
So, we are down to the final 6 players and it's come down to the battle of the Phil's:
Chip count
1. Phil Ivey 4,100,000
2. Scott Montgomery 2,680,000
3. Phil Hellmuth 2,380,000
4. Charles Moore 1,510,000
5. Quinn Do 1,450,000
6. Nam Le 1,180,000
Which Phil will prevail if any?!?!?!
My prediction is that Phil Hellmuth will win this entire event. He may not have the most chips starting today but he certainly has the most experience and that alone is priceless.
Something that most people may not know about Phil is his generous heart. Even though he is known in the poker world as the "Poker Brat," Phil is actually a very nice and generous man.
After finishing late last evening Phil and Kathy personally donated a chunk of change and sponsored me in the upcoming MS Society walk. How cool is that?!?!?! This man has many things on his mind, like winning this event yet takes the time last evening confirming his donation after playing down to the final 6.
Now that is one committed man, not only to poker but to life.
I hope others will follow in his footsteps (Thank you Jan Fisher for your donation last evening) and continue to donate to this wonderful cause.
This year we are not only trying to find a cure for MS but we would like to show the rest of the world that the poker community is filled with generous, giving and caring people.
You can personally donate to our team by clicking this link - MS PokerPadz Team and/or feel free to join our walking team. Either way it's a commitment that truly helps others.
Good luck PH, may the poker gods be by your side tonight....
We'll see what I fetch next time....
