'Fossilman' Is Big Stack at World Series of Poker
'Fossilman' Is Big Stack at World Series of Poker:
Greg "Fossilman" Raymer might be chatty, likable and wear silly holographic sunglasses, but he's a monster at the poker table, flattening opponents with a gigantic stack of chips that has allowed him to continue his run at another World Series of Poker title. But hours into the fourth round Tuesday, the 2004 champ found himself out of the top 10 after taking two big hits in the prestigious no-limit Texas Hold 'em event.

Poker Playing Robots?
I'm not sure what they would look like but I bet it's all 1's and 0's.
Poker Playing Robots?:
They don't wear eyeshades or smoke cigars, and their capacity to bluff is somewhat limited. But a new breed of robotic poker player is sending a shiver of fear through the world of the green baize table. It is a poker game being contested in cyberspace, with the ultimate prize being a share of the mega millions being gambled on online poker sites. After all, when you are sitting around a poker table, you've a pretty good chance of telling if your opponent is a robot; competing online is another matter entirely.

World Series of Poker -- Event #19 Official Report: This One's For Charlie Tuttle
Poker Player Home Page :: Articles :: World Series of Poker -- Event #19 Official Report: This One's For Charlie Tuttle:
At halftime of the 1928 Notre Dame-Army game, coach Knute Rockne reportedly told his players a rousing story about George Gipp, a great football player who died a tragic death. Stirred by the emotional sermon, the team returned to the field and ended up winning the game. The scene was later immortalized in a 1940 movie Knute Rockne – All American starring Ronald Reagan. “Win one for the Gipper” eventually became a catchphrase used to inspire down and out causes.

Poker stardom in reach
thedesertsun.com | Poker stardom in reach:
The 2005 World Series of Poker Ladies Event is this coming Sunday, and I'll be there. Last year, there were 200 women playing in it, and they expect the field to double this year.Unlike the WSOP Main Event, to which I won my entry fee, I'll be paying out of my own pocket to enter this one. One thousand hard-earned dollars on a 400-to-1 shot. Ouch. Big ouch. Normally, I'm a low-limit, low-risk player but this is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, my chance at poker stardom.
