Erik Seidel, one of the most feared tournament poker players in the world – and owner of a handful of WSOP bracelets, can FINALLY add a World Poker Tour title to his impressive resume.
Seidel entered the television final table with a decent chip lead ($3.2m in chips) over heavy favorite and high stakes pro Ted Forrest (who had $2.3m in chips himself), and was hoping to use his stack to push around his other competitors. However, it would be Forrest who would actually be the first to get knocked out, with his pocket Jacks falling to amateur Robert Richardson’s pocket Aces!
Going out soon after that would be Adam Katz and Frank Cieri, who would earn $151k and $200k, respectively, for their hard work. After those eliminations, the WPT would entertain the longest 3-handed battle in the tour’s history.
Famed online poker player -Sheets- took down the 2008 WSOP Circuit Event at Caesars Atlantic City this past weekend.
-Sheets-, who’s real name is Eric Haber, battled out 277 other people en route to the victory and $431k. The $5k buyin tournament generated over a million dollars in the prize pool, and of course a stellar field as well.
He battled out Dan Hicks heads-up and eventually won the big prize, as well as a WSOP Circuit gold ring, and an entry into the 2008 WSOP Main Event.

In January 2007, Neteller seized millions of dollars of United States’ citizens’ cash after the national government investigated the company and their involvement with helping poker players fund their accounts on their favorite poker sites. It is unclear whether Neteller will rebound from such huge losses….
