Phil Hellmuth to coach Jeff Shulman

Jeff Shulman is one of big names at the final table of the 2009 WSOP. It was recently made public that Jeff have found himself a pretty decent coach in the “Poker Brat” Phil Hellmuth. Phil have won 11 WSOP bracelets so the CardPlayers CEO must be really happy with his new coach.

“The simple reason behind me taking on Phil Hellmuth as a coach is because I want to win,” Shulman said in an interview.

Jeff and Phil know each other really well and have been friends for a long time and they have even had business deals together. This is proabably one of the other reasons behind Shulman’s choice of coach.

Most of the coaching will be done over Skype but Phil Hellmuth will also fly over to Las Vegas to arrange a “poker boot camp” for three or four days.

Chris Moorman becomes one of the Brunson 10

The team that will represent the online poker site DoylesRoom.com has been given the name Brunson 10 and it’s starting to take shape as we speak. The latest player to be chosen to represent the poker legend Doyle Brunson’s own poker site is Chris Moorman. Chris is only 24 years old and he is the fourth player to be recruited to the team.

“Moorman reminds me a lot of me, except for the British accent. He’s a poker natural, a legend in the making, and that’s why I’ve handpicked him to be the next member of The Brunson 10,” Doyle told Bluff Magazine.

In the Bluff Magazine ranking of the best online players this year Chris Moorman is in fourth place. When it comes to live games Moorman is up $300.000 for the year but when it comes to online poker he is up $1.8 million during 2009.

It will be interesting to see who the final six players on the Brunson 10 are going to be.

Ziigmund on BIG TILT at Full Tilt Poker

Everyone knows that Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies is playing at the highest stakes at online poker room Full Tilt Poker. And every once in a while he is involved in pots that are worth mentioning in a poker news post. Lately there have been a lot of action in the games where Ziigmund has been involved but unfortunately for him the big pots have not gone his way on the virtual felt. One player that have been taking advantage of this is poker pro Phil Ivey.

During a two hour session against Phil Ivey he managed to lose $1.2 million out of which $400.000 was lost in coin flips. In his blog Ziigmund is blaming the loss on being tilted while playing.

Ziigmund had planned to go to London to play the WSOP Europe events but judging from the chat at FullTilt after the big loss it seems as he might not be going.

Ziigmund: no london
Ziigmund: jumping from balkony
Phil Ivey: lol

Ziigmund continues to rant in his blog but he also gave the impression that he might be going to London after all even though it seems as poker is the last game on earth that he would want to play.

“Im going to fcking London next week where I play fcking EWSOP,fcking EPT and F Cesar cup and those fcking cashgames and heads-up tournaments…I hope Im out of those F bullshit things in first level so I dont have to play that f idiot game,”

Advertising Against the Gambling Ban in Main Stream Media

The Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative have decided to start advertising in newspapers who target the “regular people” in order to put a stop to the online gambling ban. The adverts will be found in The Huffington Poker, The Washington Post and Politico.

“As Congress searches for ways to pay for health care reform and other worthy programs, it should end the unsuccessful prohibition of Internet gambling and start collecting taxes on the billions in revenue currently lost to unlicensed, offshore gambling operators,” said Jeffrey Sandman, spokesperson for the Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative.

One of the adverts is going to remind the people of another failed ban which was alcohol. In that ad there will be pictures of alcohol smugglers who are rolling out barrels of alcohol while saying, “Stop the ban! It didn’t work with the alcohol, and it will not work with internet gambling.”
