"Real Deal!" offers audience shot at pros
Well, not quite, but if the Venetian has anything to say about it, these poker stars and a few others might just be part of the next big thing in the Las Vegas show scene. "The Real Deal!" is the first-ever interactive poker-themed stage show to appear in Vegas. Organizers are calling the show, which is set to debut this fall, a "new paradigm in entertainment." Whatever that means, it sounds like the show should be pretty cool. Using wireless handheld technology and audience participation, "The Real Deal!" is part theatre, part stand-up comedy and part game show. It will provide the audience the opportunity to play with and against some of the best poker players in the game for cash and prizes. "The Venetian sets the standard for entertainment in Las Vegas and we are excited to add 'The Real Deal!' to our existing line-up of world-class shows," says Jason Gastwirth, vice president of entertainment for Las Vegas Sands Corp, the company which owns the Venetian. "When looking for a new concept to add to our entertainment line-up, we searched for an entirely new experience that would promote audience participation while incorporating well-known personalities that shine beyond the bright lights of the Strip - we found that in 'The Real Deal!'" The concept allows audience members to earn points to vie for prizes ranging from show merchandise to home electronics to a $1 million grand prize. These prizes are awarded to audience members based on their game performance using the handheld devices. There are also random winning moments for everybody throughout the show. For example, audience members will be able to wager on simple instances that occur during play on stage. This includes such things as the suit of cards dealt on the flop. The entire cast of poker pros signed on to do the show includes Doyle Brunson, Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth Jr., Antonio Esfandiari, Gavin Smith, Eli Elezra, Jennifer Harman, Phil Laak, Scotty Nguyen, and Todd Brunson. Between them they have eight World Poker Tour Championships (WPT) and 35 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, and have raked in over $48 million in poker tournament prize money. "Never before has poker been so integrated with entertainment," said Merv Adelson, the creator of the show, cofounder of Lorimar Telepictures and former vice chairman of Time Warner Inc. "The popularity of poker is unquestioned, as is the viability of live game show experiences in Las Vegas. 'The Real Deal!' will keep guests laughing and give them the unique chance to get into the heads of the world's best pros as they share tips and strategy throughout the fast-paced game. We know it will quickly become a hot ticket." An elimination process will result in the chip-leading pro, the final surviving amateur and the point leader from the play-along audience ending up on stage for a three-handed finale. "Poker fans have been able to view and enjoy professional poker action for years on television," said Doyle Brunson. "This is different. Everyone in the audience can be in the game and compete with the pros and other guests. It is a one-of-a-kind-poker experience." The production runs six days a week at The Venetian Showroom, with shows at 4 p.m. and prime-time performances on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. A limited number of VIP packages are available for each performance that include the opportunity to meet the pros after the show.Visit PokerListings.com

2008 WSOP coverage begins airing Tuesday
The shows will be aired at 8 p.m. each Tuesday starting on July 22. They will be broadcast over the next 17 weeks, for a total of 33 hours of coverage leading up to the footage of the final table of the 2008 WSOP Main Event. The 2008 WSOP was the year of the pros' return to the top ranks, with many name pros taking down events. Erick Lindgren finally got his first bracelet, as did David Benyamine. Daniel Negreanu picked up his fourth, and Mike Matusow stayed right on his heels, picking up his third bracelet. Another notable win this year was that of Scotty Nguyen. He took down the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. World Championship, defeating a field filled with other big name pros. All that action will be heading straight to poker fans' TVs now so they can soak it in for the next few months until the Main Event players reconvene in Las Vegas to play out the final table in November. ESPN will air footage from the first few days of the Main Event leading up to the November final. Then the final table will begin play again in November, playing down to the top two on Nov. 9. On the evening of Nov. 10, the two finalists will begin playing heads-up and are expected to play into the early morning hours of Nov. 11. Once that has wrapped up, ESPN will air how the final table played out that evening, giving same-day coverage to discover who the winner is. Lon McEachem and Norman Chad will also return this year to provide commentary for all of the WSOP events being aired.

WPT rolls into Vegas for Bellagio Cup IV
Last year the Bellagio Cup drew more than 500 players and made another WPT winner a millionaire. That newly minted millionaire was Kevin "BeLOWaBOVe" Saul. He follows Amnon Filippe and Shannon Shorr in the line of Bellagio Cup winners. This year 446 players turned out for the event, and after three Day 1s there are plenty of big names still left in the field. Hevad Khan is sitting with a pretty hefty stack of chips so and Joe Sebok, Lee Markholt, Barry Greenstein, Steve Zolotow, Gavin Smith, Tom Dwan, Isaac Haxton, David Chiu, Kirill Gerasimov, Darrell Dicken, Sammy Farha, Shawn Buchanan, Nenad Medic, Eric Froehlich, Ram Vaswani, David Levi, John Phan, Joe Tehan and Scotty Nguyen are all above the average in chips so far. Sitting below average, but very much still in the game are Allen Cunningham, Jennifer Tilly, Shane Schleger, Ted Forrest, David Pham, Raymond Davis, Phil Laak, Alex Bolotin, Phil Laak, JC Tran, Mark Newhouse, Billy Baxter, Freddy Deeb, Erik Seidel, David Benyamine, Howard Lederer, Todd Brunson, Bill Edler, Kristy Gazes, Justin Bonomo, Men "The Master" Nguyen, JJ Liu, Erick Lindgren, John Juanda, and more. There are plenty of big names who have already been cut from the playing field today as well. Playing in what is most definitely his home turf, Doyle Brunson busted today. Joining him among the players at the rail are Michael Binger, Alan Smurfit, Scott Clemens, Jared Hamby and Blake Cahail. The WPT Bellagio Cup IV is scheduled to play until Thursday when a winner will be found during the televised final table.Visit PokerListings.com

2008 WSOP Day 41: 466 make Main Event Day 2a cut
By the end of the day, all eyes were on Brian Schaedlich, from Cleveland, Ohio, who was sitting with one of the most impressive chip leads for a player at the end of a Day 2 that the WSOP has seen in years. He ended the day with about $801,000 in chips, and his closest rival is sitting with just $397,000. Brandon Adams is sitting in a strong position as well after Day 2a with $353,600. The Full Tilt Poker pro had a good stack of more than $70k after his Day 1 and said he played a lot of smaller and mid-size pots on Day 2a to continue his climb. "Today I started out playing very fast but then treaded water for a while," Adams said in his interview with PokerListings. "I think I ended up the second level of the day with around $160,000. I just had a good level and got it all the way up to $207,000." As he continued to accumulate chips, Adams landed at the ESPN feature table as well, where he had to play under the watchful eyes of the cameras. Adams is a renowned cash-game player who has managed to keep a fairly low tournament profile so far, but his exposure in the Main Event if he goes deep could change all that. Some other pros who are sitting well with more than $100k after two days of player are Robert Mizrachi, Kido Pham, Alex Borteh, Tony Hachem, Chau Giang, Hoyt Corkins, Darrell Dicken, Erik Seidel, Dave Colclough, and 888 sponsored pro Shane Warne, who is heading up Pacific Poker's online qualifiers. Maya Geller-Antonius has also moved her stack up to about $135,000 after Day 2, leaving her in much healthier shape to start Day 3 on Thursday than her husband Patrik Antonius who just barely clings to life with $29,500 in chips after Day 2a. He's not the only one looking a little low in chips from Day 2a. Tony Cousineau, Toto Leonidas and Alex Kravchenko are all under the $50,000 mark, while Chris Reslock, John Duthie, Barney Boatman and Mickey Appleman sit between there and the $100,000 mark. Unfortunately, the two former Main Event champions, Scotty Nguyen and Robert Varkonyi, who were playing in Day 2a were both eliminated. Nguyen, who is this year's $50k H.O.R.S.E. champion, busted out about mid-afternoon when his pocket nines were topped by Alexandre Schwab's pocket kings. Varkonyi didn't last much longer than Nguyen, busting out a short time later. That leaves seven former Main Event champs left in it who will be playing their second day today. They are Jerry Yang, Johnny Chan, Phil Hellmuth, Carlos Mortensen, Brad Daugherty, Chris Moneymaker and Joe Hachem. Some other notables who will play today from Day 1c are David Singer, Brad Booth, Evelyn Ng, Nenad Medic, Brian Townsend, Liz Lieu, Rolf Slotboom, Mike Matusow, Minh Nguyen, Bertrand Grospellier, Bill Chen, Matt Graham, Mike Binger, Eric Lynch, Clonie Gowen, Lacey Jones and Mel Judah. Some of the pros who survived Day 1d to return to play today are David Oppenheim, Gus Hansen, Cliff Josephy, Antonio Esfandiari, Brandon Cantu, Nam Le, Steve Billirakis, Jean-Robert Bellande, Jennifer Harman, Phil Gordon, Hevad Khan, Allen Cunningham, Men Nguyen, Scott Clements, Van Nguyen, Shannon Elizabeth, Nick Binger, Eric Mizrachi and Johan Storakers. Because more players showed up for Days 1c and 1d, there are 2,378 players returning to the felt today. Once they've finished play for the day, all the players will converge at the Rio on Thursday finally as one playing field for Day 3. The action gets started at noon today, and poker fans can check it all out in the Live Tournaments section.

2008 WSOP Day 40: Day 2a runners are off
Just an hour in, more than 100 players were already eliminated, and the poker room was a chorus of all-ins as short-stacked players tried their best to double up quickly and get back in the mix. Among the dearly departed from the Main Event today are Bill Edler, Svetlana Gromenkova, Jimmy Fricke, Anna Wroblewski, Perry Friedman, Susie Isaacs, Scotty Nguyen and Harry Demetriu. Svetlana Gromenkova is a surprise early out today as she was sitting pretty well with $94,125 to start the day. Unfortunately the luck of the draw put her in the seat to the right of Canada's Marc Karam who ended up adding a lot of Gromenkova's chips to his more than $80,000 starting stack today. On one hand Gromenkova and Karam saw a flop of A-J-5, and Gromenkova check-calls Karam's $5,000 bet. The turn is another five, and this time Gromenkova check-raises Karam's $10,000 bet to make it $25,000. The river is a six and Gromenkova check-folds after Karam's $30,000 river bet. This left her hurting for chips and a few hands later she put the rest of them in the middle with A-7 and Karam called with a dominant A-Q. The board held no miracle cards for Gromenkova and she was done. Some of the players who've had better luck and are still in it so far today are Robert Mizrachi, Brandon Adams, Mark Vos, Kido Pham, Billy Baxter, Tony Hachem, Julian Gardner, Toto Leonidas, Erick Lindgren, Hoyt Corkins, Kathy Liebert, John Duthie, Chris Bell and more. Ray Romano and Shane Warne are both still in it, either proving once again that anything can happen or that celebrities can become good poker players too. Patrik Antonius has taken a hit to his chip stack, but he's still hanging in with about $24,000, while his wife continues to best him in chips even though her starting stack for the day has dipped from about $70,000 to the mid $60k range.

2008 WSOP Day 40: Main Event back in action
Combining the survivors from Day 1a and Day 1b, there will be 1,251 players taking to the felt today. At the helm of the group is Mark Garner, from Little Rock, Ark., who will begin the day with $194,900 in chips. Brandon Adams is right behind him in the chip count with $176,450, and with several hours of play to go to day, it's anybody's guess who will end up with the lead by the end of the day and who will be sent packing. Some movers and shakers with hefty chip stacks to keep an eye out for are Kido Pham, Mark Vos, Alex Borteh, Svetlana Gromenkova, Chau Gian, Darrel Dicken, Joe Beevers and Toto Leonidas. Former World Champions Robert Varkonyi and Scotty Nguyen are both playing today as well as Erik Seidel, Steve Zolotow, Bill Edler, Alex Kravchenko, Kathy Liebert, Billy Baxter and John Hennigan. Plus there's Full Tilt pro Greg Mueller, Hoyt Corkins, Susie Isaacs, Paul Wasicka, Blair Hinkle and more. Patrik Antonius is still in it, but more surprisingly is that his wife Maya Geller-Antonius is also playing today and has more chips than her husband does. Some other surprise survivors from Day 1a and Day 1b are Shane Warne, the former cricket pro now sponsored by 888.com which runs the Pacific Poker site, World Poker Tour commentator Vince Van Patten, and actor and comedian Ray Romano. There won't be any shortage of poker pros to watch today as play gets underway again this afternoon.
