Phil Hellmuth Finals at Bay 101

The ‘poker brat’ is on the verge of yet another big cash result and, maybe, another title. Phil Hellmuth is sitting pretty, second in chips, in the Bay 101 Shooting Star event. Hellmuth is a whisker behind chip leader Andy Seth after leading for the majority of the first three days.

Seth has been in hot form during the final stages of play. The chip leader has already sent Lou Diamond and Scotty Nguyen to the rail and is in confident mood as the remaining six players take to their seats today.

Seth told the WPT; “I’m going to keep trying to do what I’ve been doing.

Jeff Madsen Wins Borgata Winter Poker Open

24 year old poker pro’, Jeff Madsen, has won the main event of the 2010 Borgata Winter Poker Open. Madsen, from Las Vegas, added the Borgata title to his already impressive poker C.V. earlier this month bringing his lifetime tournament earnings to over $3.1 million.

Although the Borgata Open is no longer a WPT event, the $3,300 main event still attracts some of the biggest names in US poker. 766 players stumped up the buy-in to build a total prize pool over close to $2.5 million. It was Madsen who took control of the event at an early stage, though, and he never looked back from there.

It’s been a little while since we heard from London’s poker motormouth Luke ‘FullFlush1′ Schwartz. Fear not though, fans of the biggest villain from the 2009 poker scene, because FullFlush is back on the big stage this February. This time he’s heading to Las Vegas for the latest edition of PartyPoker’s Premier League.

Premier League IV will run from February 11th to 18th and alongside Schwartz the line-up of confirmed players is looking pretty impressive so far. J.C. Tran, Phil Hellmuth and Roland de Wolfe will all make their way to ‘Sin City’ to do battle, but it’s FullFlush that has captured the imagination of poker fans thanks to his bad boy antics from late ‘09.
