  • Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier:The Hardest Working Man in the Business

    Already having European Poker Tour and World Poker Tour titles under his belt, ElkY makes no secret of his goals this summer: he wants to complete the trilogy with a WSOP gold bracelet. ElkY has no worries, considering his sponsorship with PokerStars and a solid position on top of France's all-time winnings leader board. He is after the glory. “I want to leave a mark,” he says, “and be recognized as the best tournament player of my time.”

  • The AC Big Game: Raising the Stakes at Borgata

    Atlantic City is no Las Vegas, but AC still brings poker players to the tables and thanks to Borgata’s commitment to the game, the poker community is alive and flourishing. Although it does not have the marketability and television presence of its West Coast rivals, AC continues to provide a playground for those who seek high stakes action and – despite an economy that seems to have dried up many of the country’s biggest games – this famous seashore resort still has a “Big Game” that meets regularly.

  • The Best OF Phil Hellmuth

    With his stellar talent, millions of dollars in tournament winnings, record eleven WSOP bracelets and, ahem, occasional raucous verbal tirades, Phil Hellmuth is easily one of the most – if not the most – polarizing figures in the world of professional poker. Love him or hate him, if Phil is in the event or, even better, at the final table, you can safely bet the pot that all eyes will be focused squarely on him. Since we’re huge fans of “The Poker Brat”. as we know you are, we’ve taken the liberty of putting together a Phil-specific top eleven (in honor of his eleven bracelets).
