I had to laugh...
Just tuned into Challenge tv for the Ultimate Poker Challenge.
I know it's the announcer's job to hype up the forthcoming programme but when she described this as "The World's best poker players doing battle for a huge first prize" I was more than a little amused to see that 6 of the seven contestants were: Steve Simmons, Michael Ross, Brain Nadell, Renee Wexler, Ken James and Mike Turner (who dey?) and they were playing for a first prize of wait for it.... $8000!
Talk about, filler tv!
Still, funny to see all this hoopla for a comp where the prize money is less than a £100 event at Luton!

You've gotta love the carpet in the Plaza though...
The organizers of the UPC were expecting 200 people to pay $1,060 for EACH of the 23 2-day tournaments, which would create a prize pool worth "millions" for the final tournament. They got at most about 75, with several in the 40's.
Kevin...
a total flop with the name players wondering where the fck everyone else is and lookig desperate to get knocked out...unless they are broke like seidel...
