Scuffle Involving Men the Master
10:21 PST | Brandon Hammonds |
I've always taken second-hand, internet forum reports at face value, so I will assume this is gospel truth:
. . .The older guy gets pissed off and throws his cards at Men. Men then gives him a solid, �F-YOU� and the guy then throws a water bottle at him. . .

Gus Hansen
09:17 PST | Brandon Hammonds |
Join Bluff Magazine as they unravel Gus Hansen.
Because he's been conspicuously absent from poker's final tables over the past year and a half, people naturally assume Gus Hansen is holed up somewhere in his laboratory, laughing maniacally as he fuses together 7-4 off-suit like some crazed poker alchemist, or slaving over his latest mathematical theorem which proves, beyond a doubt, that two plus two actually equals 511. And so here it is. A world exclusive. Bluff Magazine can finally reveal the truth. For the past two years, Gus has been . . .

Daniel Negreanu: Wants to Be Better
04:20 PST | Barron Vangor Toth |
I know what you're thinking: STACKED's Daniel Negreanu is already the greatest poker player who has ever walked the earth, why would he want to be better? Because he does -- and that's the mark of a true champion.

Then there's the shoe collection, or, more specifically, the Nike Air Force Ones. "I've got a pretty sick obsession," he admitted. "I've got like 160 different pairs. Some duplicates, just in case I want to wear a pair and not mess it up and have an extra pair in case I do. . . I wear a different pair pretty much every day to coordinate with my outfit." So far�he's been collecting the shoes since April�Williams hasn't had to wear a pair twice.

I'm going real easy on you today as I know and you know you aren't reading this whole thing but you can read the best three articles, can't you? Thought so. Here they are, starting with #1:

1- Daniel Negreanu's "Hand vs. Gus"
05:05 PST | Barron Vangor Toth |
STACKED's own Daniel Negreanu wrote the best article this month detailing a hand from High Stakes Poker that you have to read to believe.

2- Phil Hellmuth's "Close... So Close"

Phil wouldn't be Phil without telling you how Phil did at the 2006 Series of Poker.

3- Barry Tanenbaum's "Full Disclosure"

STACKED Masters Showdown on MTV
13:12 PST | Kevin Bowen |
Here's the press release:

MTV AIRS STACKED MASTERS SHOWDOWN

New York, NY --- Myelin Media announces that highlights of the MTV STACKED� Masters Showdown Tournament, the officially-sanctioned Texas Hold �em poker tournament for STACKED� with Daniel Negreanu , which officially aired on MTV on September 24 � 27, 2006, are now be available for viewing at http://www.stacked.mtv.com.

The five finalists: Amber Dalton from San Antonio, Texas; Mark Caminong from Hollywood, CA; Michael Rose from Buffalo Grove, Illinois; Brennan Conley, from Monroeville, Pennsylvania; and Jared Sharp from Short Hills, New Jersey; fought their way to a Showdown in Las Vegas to face off against Daniel Negreanu at the final table. Tune in to see who wins and who goes home in this one-of-a-kind Texas Hold �em match-up!

"I was truly amazed by the quality mix of Texas Hold �em players and genuine enthusiasm of STACKED fans from all over the country,� said Negreanu. �It�s great to see players showcasing their talent and using STACKED single player mode to sharpen and improve their skills.�

�My favorite thing about playing STACKED is the realistic game playing by the AI,� said Michael Rose, one of this year�s eager participants. �Stacked is the best poker game available right now by far and is a great teaching tool for most inexperienced players who want to tighten up their game.�

MTV STACKED� Masters Tournaments are scheduled, live events where players can win Masters points depending on the buy-in, number of other players and, of course, how far they make it. The buy in amount for each level will reflect the level of skill for players who can enter � the higher the level, the greater the buy in amount. The lower level tournaments will be held more frequently than the higher level tournaments giving everyone a chance to play and build their bankrolls.

Top players were selected by earning placement on the leader board by accumulating Masters Points in official STACKED Masters Showdown Tournaments, and of that sample, five were selected to participate in the MTV STACKED� Masters Finale. For additional tournament information you can visit STACKED.mtv.com for the latest updates on tournament schedules, complete results for all MTV STACKED Masters Showdown Tournaments, player leaderboards, and detailed statistics for individual players.

While those of us in the know realize STACKED's own Daniel "Kid Poker" Negreanu should win this, year in and year out, just because he's Daniel friggin' Negreanu and everyone else isn't, the folks who determine this thing don't think logically. Hence: The Grinder is currently in 1st place, with STACKED's own Erick Lindgren and David Williams in 9th and 10th respectively.
