The Dragons were not taken in by the pitch set out by British poker player JJ Hazan when he appeared on the “den” last night asking for backing amounting to £65k for a 40% claim to his winnings over three years. The Dragons didn’t seem to think it was a sound investment and rejected his proposal, but his pitch was probably better than a lot of us thought it was going to be.

JJ Hazan has been playing poker for more than 25 years and began at the tender age of 18 years. JJ who is current London Masters and Omaha Hilo champion put on a good showing but the Dragons were not convinced that he could give them the promised return. Two Dragons were not in the least bit interested, Debra and Peter and boy how they showed it! So JJ, you are on your own still and you will have to keep on winning with your own money. Good luck.

So after twelve hard fought days the list of names that will be competing for the title in November is finally known. If Phil Ivey had a disastrous WSOP in 2008, or at least uninspired, in 2009 he’s stepped right back into the zone where “The Best Player Ever” logically belongs. With two bracelets and three additional cashes before the Main Event, making it into the illustrious “November Nine” surely takes Phil Ivey to the very top of the 2009 WSOP leader board.

Joining him at the tables in November is Darvin Moon, Eric Buchman, Steven Begleiter, Jeff Schulman, Joseph Cada, Kevin Schaffel and Phil Ivey all of the US. The remaining two are Antoine Saout of France and James Arkenhead of the UK. So as in previous years we have an international interest for the 2009 WSOP fest which kicks off on November the 10th.

The familiar voice of Aussie cricket star is heard again on the Sky sports channel, along with fellow commentators, after falling by the wayside in the current WSOP event in Vegas. Shane had a good run and came very close to the money. In this event those poker players in the top 666 get paid and Warney came in at around the 740 mark, that’s not bad when you consider that 6800 began the event. Still, poker’s loss is the cricket lover’s gain as Shane adds that little extra something on TV to the Ashes cricket series.

For the poker devotees, Shane is back at the tables in a prestigious event in South Africa in September, followed by an internationally televised 888 Poker Open in London in November. Freerolls and qualifiers for this event are running now at 888 Poker, so qualify now and join Shane on TV in the limited entry 888 Poker Open.
