Last year, poker pro Jonathan “FieryJustice” Little bested a field of 412 players to win the World Poker Finals title. Little, the Season 6 WPT Player of the Year, defeated Jonathan Jaffe heads up when his A-Q held up against Jaffe’s A-10, earning him $1.1 million and his second WPT title. Also appearing at the final table were David “The Dragon” Pham (fourth place for $240,000) and Mike Matusow (sixth place for $124,000).
Other former winners of the WPT World Poker Finals include Mike Vela (2007), Nenad Medic (2006), Nick Schulman (2005), Tuan Le (2004), Hoyt Corkins (2003), and Howard Lederer (2002).

Players were offered a wide selection of games on the tournament schedule, including No Limit Hold’em, Seven Card Stud, Omaha Eight or Better, HOSE, Pot Limit Omaha, and Limit Hold’em. Two of the top female pros in the world have generated the most buzz during the series thus far, as Vanessa Selbst took down the $1,500 No Limit Hold’em Event #7 for $74,000 and Kathy Liebert won the $2,500 No Limit Hold’em Event #14 for $74,000. Selbst also took third in Event #14 for $28,000, putting her earnings over the two-week series above the six-figure mark.
World Poker Tour Enterprises (WPTE), a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange that controls the tour, has been in the news lately, as offers were being made to purchase the company. WPTE announced last week that its shareholders approved a purchase by Party Gaming subsidiary Peerless Media. Under the proposal from Peerless Media, WPTE shareholders will receive $12.3 million plus a percentage of future gaming revenues. The sale specifies that WPTE officials will receive at least $3 million over three years from the aforementioned gaming revenues. The money from the purchase will not be refunded to shareholders and will instead be used to invest in a non-poker related business venture.

Kyle Bowker, who goes by the handle “kwob20” online, leads the way after Day 2 with a stack of 260,100, or 162 big blinds. He’s barely edging out poker pro Josh Arieh, who will come armed to Day 3 this afternoon with a stack of 258,200, or 161 big blinds. Sixty-nine players remain in the hunt for the coveted WPT bracelet and a seat in the end-of-season Championship event at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.
Mortensen was a late casualty of the World Poker Finals last night, as his club flush draw failed to materialize on the turn or river when he was all-in. Josh Bergman was his executioner and scooped the pot with pocket kings. Also departing was former WPT champ McLean Karr, who moved all-in with K-Q on a board of J-8-6-J for complete air. Another player called with pocket nines, which held up when the river was a 10.
Full Tilt Poker pro Gavin Smith delivered back-to-back eliminations of Brian Lemke and Nick Schulman. The former is a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner, while the latter was recently featured on MTV’s documentary series “World of Jenks.” Smith flopped a set of threes to send Lemke to the rails, while Schulman was sent home in a hand where both pros flopped top pair, but Smith had Schulman out-kicked.
Other pros sent packing on Friday included Victor Ramdin, Matt “All In At 420” Stout, and Cimpan. The defending champ Tweeted his exit for the world to read: “Out of Foxwoods. Had a chance to double for the 3rd time my AQ vs. QQ on a 10 X X K board with me having nut flush draw and over and a gutshot.” Needless to say, none of Cimpan’s draws hit and he was relegated to the rail.
