Amir Vahedi wins the Ultimate Poker Challenge III Championship at the Plaza Hotel in downtown Las Vegas. Going into Tuesday's final table with an imposing chip lead and then playing mistake free poker allowed Amir to stay atop the field of fifty-five. The final hand was a fitting end to the run of cards Amir had enjoyed on his way to the championship. Pre-flop Amir raised $34K from the button and Chip Jett re-raised all-in for $74K. Amir immediately called and turned over two red Kings to Chip's Ad,5s. The flop was Q,7,6 with two spades giving Chip another couple of outs with runner-runner spades for the flush or a straight. He also had a straight flush draw. The turn showed 10 of clubs and Chip was down to one out, only an Ace could save him. The river brought the Jack of clubs and the tournament was over. Amir Vahedi was the champion. Amir takes home $181,390 in cash and the diamond/gold Ultiamte Poker Challenge III bracelet. Chip Jett received $106,700 for second place. Bill Elder was eliminated in the third spot and paid $58,685. Doug Carli finished fourth and takes $42,680 while Luke Neeloy goes home with $37,345 for fifth place. Blair Rodman, Ultimate Poker Challenge II second place finisher made it to sixth and picked up $32,010 while short stack Thomas Koral was the first player eliminated from the final table, receiving $26,675 for seventh place.

The first event of the Fourth Annual Five Diamond World Poker Classic began at noon on Tuesday at the Bellagio Resort on the Las Vegas Strip. All of the tournaments for the Five Diamond event are No-limit Hold'em. Tuesday's event #1, a $1,500 + $70 buy-in contest attracted 370 entrants and built a prize pool of $538,350. The winner is slated to receive $199,870 from the prize money and a $25,000 + $500 entry into the 2006 WPT Championship at the Bellagio. The field had been cut to 83 after almost six hours of play.

Poker tournaments are filling the calendar in Las Vegas. The Ultimate Poker Challenge at the downtown Plaza Hotel and Casino is down to its final day of play on Tuesday when the 7 surviving players from the starting field of 55 begin the final table at 2:00 PM. Professional Amir Vahedi comes to the contest with the most chips, $598,000, giving him more than a 2-1 advantage over Chip Jett, second in the chip count with $259,000. Blair Rodman starts the day with $168,000 while Doug Carli begins with $164,000. Bill Elder is holding $160,000 and Luke Neeloy has accummulated $143,000 of the play money. The short stack of $63,000 belongs to Thomas Koral. The event pays ten places with the winner receiving $181,390 from the $533,500 prize pool.

Jason Cotray of New York City went out on the bubble in eleventh place and will be returning home with none of the prize money. Jason is primarily an online player and has been a student of the game for about three years. Considering his lack of live tournament poker experience Jason made a very good showing for himself in a field crowded with poker's super stars. The defending champion of the Ultimate Poker Challenge II Championship, Andy Bloch, was eliminated on the final table bubble going out in the eight spot after Chip Jett called Andy's all-in and showed pocket Aces to beat Andy's Kings. Andy takes home a token $21,340 from the half mil prize pool. Andy doubled when he pushed all-in with Q,J of spades and was called by Blair Rodman holding pocket 6's. Andy furthur enticed Blair by adding his Ultimate Poker Challenge Championship diamond/gold bracelet to the pot. The flop of 6s,4s,3s gave Blair a set and Andy a flush draw; but, the turn brought the 8 of spades and Andy's jewelry was safe. Blair's only shot at wearing a championship bracelet is to win the championship.

Tuesday is the first day of the Bellagio's Fourth Annual Five Diamond World Poker Classic. The event will run through December 16th and offer no-limit hold'em tournaments daily with buy-ins from $1,500 up to the $15,000 WPT sanctioned Championship.

The Ultimate Poker Challenge at the Plaza Hotel and Casino in downtown Las Vegas began the Championship with 55 players entered in the $10,000 buy-in No-limit Hold'em event. Many of poker's well known professional community were vying for some of the $533,500 prize pool. Play continued today for approximately 13 hours until 28 players remained from the starting field.

When the cards flew at about 12:30 PST Sunday the professional laden field included previous WSOP World Champions Phil Hellmuth and Scotty Nguyen. WPT Championship winner Martin de Knijff was joined by Barry Greenstein, David Williams and Kido Pham, none of whom survived the day. Neither did Phil Hellmuth; but, Scotty Nguyen will be returning on Monday at noon when play is resumed.

Players that will be there for the second round are chip leader, Patrik Antonius with $241,400. Chip Jett, Men 'Master' Nguyen, Amir Vahedi, Michael 'the Grinder' Mizrachi, Layne Flack, Captain' Tom Franklin, Ted Forrest, John Pham and the sole surviving lady, Kristy Gazes. The 2004 Ultimate Poker Challenge defending champion, Andy Bloch, will begin the second day of play fifth on the chip count list at $78,400.

The play on Monday will continue until 9 remain to fill the final table roster. The championship final table will be played on Tuesday and filmed for later broadcast on national television throught the syndicated Ultimate Poker Challenge Series. I wandered around the tournament area today watching the poker, visiting with players and old friends. Shot some photos of the event and have ioncluded a mini gallery in the continue reading section below.

The Monaco FullTilt Invitational finally came to an end early this morning after the select seven played for almost eleven hours. Phil Ivey takes home the $600,000 first place money. John Juanda finished second. The event was Phil's second win in two days after having won the Monte Carlo Millions Championship on Wednesday. He will be coming home from Europe with $1,600,000 in earnings and has once again established himself as one of poker's all-time great tournament players.

Fox Sports Network broadcast the FullTilt Invitational live beginning this afternoon at 3 Pm here in Las Vegas and finally dealing the last hand at a few minutes before 2 AM. Almost eleven hours of poker and close to my estimate for completion of the tournament (I thought midnight due to the short field). So, how was this live, full length screening of a major poker tournament? I had promised myself I would make an effort to watch the whole thing or at least be close at hand, just like covering a tournament live, something I do a lot of. How much did I actually watch? I was there from the go and watched until Matusow was eliminated. The Prof came by and watched for about ten minutes, then mumbled something that included multi-use of the word "boring" and "what were they thinking?," then he suddenly left.

I switched to the Denver/Dallas NFL game and watched most of the half before I wandered off to drive across Las Vegas to visit with some of the family. Left there and cruised the strip, stopping at the Mirage Resort to stroll through the holiday crowds and decorations. A side trip to the Carnegie Deli in the Mirage produced a take out bag stuffed with a Woody Allen and a large piece of cherry cheesecake (I quickly tire of roast turkey). Heading for the parking garage I spent some quality time watching the fish in the Mirage aquarium behind the hotel front desk. Drove down the strip for awhile and finally dropped off the food at home and continued on to Sam's Town where I played in the Thursday night tournament (only won one pot all night, eliminated when my pocket Aces were cracked by a big slick hitting two flop Kings during the third hour of play). Played live poker for another hour then returned home to enjoy a leisurely meal, watched a movie, and then watched the news for about another hour. Tuned in the Fox Sports Network and there was five players remaining. Watched for about an hour, got bored and watched an episode of M*A*S*H. Returned to the poker tournament in time to see chip leader John Juanda lose most of his lead to Phil Ivey and then a couple of hands later John lost all his chips. Tournament finally over.

What's my opinion of live television broadcast of major Poker Tournaments? Too many too's. Too slow, too boring, even with Matusow and Hellmuth--too quiet, too predictable, too loooooong (eleven hours? Could have been hours longer!). And did I mention the total absence of fans? Whose idea was that? Would you enjoy watching a ball game that had no fans? Perhaps tournament poker will find a way to play the game that favors the skilled professional player while fitting nicely into a three hour broadcast, just like the NFL...and if this solution proves too elusive? There is still valid reason for live television broadcast of major poker tournaments. They can replace baseball as the television sport we most like to sleep through.

Las Vegas shopping hits the big-times tomorrow. Don't be shutout! Cash out the stocks and bonds, have the credit card limits raised, second mortgage the house and get to Las Vegas before all the seven figure gifts are snapped up by the early birds.

Thanksgiving Day is just another working holiday in Las Vegas. Many of the people I know work in the gaming industry and none of them will be home for the traditional turkey day feast. Instead, they are providing the thousands of tourist packed into town for the holiday a wonderful, fun time. Great food, good spirits, luxurious accommodations, continuous partying and plenty of big time tournament poker are more than enough reasons to come to Vegas for the Thanksgiving Holiday.

The tournament poker is happening at the Plaza Hotel and Casino in downtown Las Vegas. The Ultimate Poker Challenge, the highly rated poker TV series, is here for the third season. Everyday at high noon you can sit down with locals, tourist and professionals to play for a spot on national TV. And you can do it all for a low $500 + $50 buy-in into any of the daily events. The remaining four events will be filmed for later broadcast on national television. There is no cheaper ticket to poker stardom than the Ultimate poker Challenge. The tournament area is in the Plaza's large poker room so if you've always wanted to play on TV then stop by the Plaza Hotel before noon on Thursday, Friday or Saturday, bring $550 and your "A" game and maybe I"ll be shooting a winner's photo of you.

All of us at LasVegasVegas.com and the Poker Prof's Blog wish everyone a safe and fun Thanksgiving Holiday. If you can't get to Vegas you can still watch some big-time poker tournament action Live, courtesy of Fox Sports Network. The FullTilt.net Invitational is being telecast live direct from Monaco. With final table personalities Mike Matusow, John Juanda, Gus hansen, Phil Ivey, David "Devilfish" Ulliott, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson and Phil Hellmuth it promises to be a great show. Be sure to check your local listing since times vary and some areas may have a tape delay.

Since the upcoming trip to Vegas is the topic on everyone's mind, we'll start with Vegas-related items. First off, PokerStars is really sweetening the prize pool for the WPBT tourney. Be sure to show your thanks. Secondly, Pauly has proposed a Blogger Prision Pact. It's one of those things that you hope you'll never need, but knowing this group, it's likely that we will at some point. Finally, many of us will be hitting the limit HE tables while in Vegas. ScurvyDog has some advice on protecting our hands in those games. It's a long post, but a must-read. Print it out and take it with you on the plane if you must.

Somewhat Vegas-related, CJ has been on a tourney rush lately. Hopefully he's gotten it out of his system so the rest of us will stand a chance in December. Otherwise, who's up for skipping the tourney and just hitting the bar instead? Okay, anyone besides Al?

Tilt was the topic on a lot of minds this past week, resulting in great posts from Otis, Mourn, and HDouble. Other minds were focused on finding the wisdom in the works of Paula Abdul-Jalib - certaintly no easy task, but Bill does well.

The World Series of Poker Circuit Event at Paris/Bally's ended early Tuesday evening when Kido Pham eliminated J.C. Tran to end the heads-up play and win the championship. Kido received $453,456, a gold and diamond WSOP Circuit Championship ring and credentials into poker's big leagues. Kido has been playing major tournament poker for less than two years and has made four final tables including the championship event at the Doyle Brunson North American Poker Championship held in October, 2004 at the Bellagio. Pham finished in second place and collected $496,000. He made another final table at the WPT Mirage Poker Showdown Championship played at the Bellagio in May, 2005 where Pham finished 4th and received $182,964. Tuesday evening he came to win and in his single-minded pursuit of the championship he played some of the best poker of his career while the luck factor was distributed evenly around the table.

J.C.Tran finished second after about an hour of heads-up play when Pham checked the flop of 6,A,K while holding an A,8o. Tran had raised preflop, then had to call a reraise from Kido. Tran checked the flop behind Pham and the turn brought a Jack. Pham bet and Tran called. The river was another Jack. Pham went all-in after asking for a chip count and J.C. Tran now had to make the big decision to fold and leave himself very short or call with his K,Qo and hope for the best. After much deliberation and study J.C. Tran said call and Pham turned over his top pair to end the tournament. J.C. Tran received $251,920 for second place.

Lee Wilkenson was eliminated in third and got paid $138,556. Former WSOP World Champion Scotty Nguyen went out in fourth place collecting $100,468. The 2005 WSOP Champion, Joseph Hachem, finished in the fifth spot and takes $88,172 back to Australia. John Smith collected $75,576 for sixth, Steve Hudak was seventh for a $62,980 payday and my pick to win it all, Doug Lee, received $50,384 when he was the first player eliminated from the table going out in eight. Doug said the deck was so cold for him he could feel it across the table.

The post game interview with winner Kido Pham was an interesting look into poker's latest rising star. When asked about what his parents back in Vietnam would think of his big win he said his Asian family's mind set doesn't approve of gambling and they would prefer he pursued another line of work. He described the rapid improvements in his game by comparing the final tables he has made. In the first tournament he said he was in awe of all the professionals and felt intimidated by their reputations, a factor that led to stupid mistakes. The second final table saw a much improved Kido no longer overwhelmed by the pros; but, unfortunately he acted too cocky and again a distraction forced fatal mistakes. The Kido Pham that came to play in the Paris/Bally's WSOP Circuit Event Championship was an improved and refined version, one that was mentally prepared to take on the best and, if the luck broke even, to beat them. That's exactly what Kido did. Congratulations to Kido Pham.

The first time I saw Doug Lee was at the Rio earliest this year when the WSOP Circuit made a stop in March. He was playing in the Championship event on the first day and I was photographing the action at the tables. During a break he introduced himself, told me he had traveled from Canada for the tournament and ask if I would get some shots of him playing, a common request. I always try to accommodate the players and from experience I know to get some photos quickly because some are will be out in short order. Most I never see again and I thought Doug would be just another 'good' poker player that without an extraordinary amount of good luck had no outs for making any money in this poker pro rich WSOP Circuit event. Doug made it through the first day, the second day, even survived the third day when the final table was decided. Doug came into a tough final table with a collection of some of poker's 'baddest' players. Jennifer Harmon, Jean Robert Bellande, Tony Ma, Gabriel Thaler and Phil Ivey. Late into the final day the only thing that stood between Doug Lee and the championship was Jennifer Harman, a poker player so good many think she knows magic. But no magic this day. When all of the hold'em, fold'em and deal'n was done Doug Lee of Calgary, Canada was walking away with a cool $695,970 and the Championship. I didn't see Doug again until the 2005 WSOP when he returned to Rio in Las Vegas and made a final table in WSOP Event #12, Pot-limit Omaha w/rebuys. He finished 8th and collected $34,690 from another WSOP prize pool.

Monday at Bally's the 27 players remaining in the begin play at a little after 2 PM and continued until 9 remained. Doug Lee ($66,900) came into the day in the 7th chip count spot, chasing noted professionals in 5th place Minh Ly ($82,800), 4th place Max Pescatori ($89,700), and 2nd place J.C. Tran ($118,600). Chip leader, Raed Abu Kartomy, had $161,500 in play money. The short stack belonged to Matthew Davidson ($6,000). When 10 players remained Joseph Hachem, Max Pescatori and Minh Ly got into a hand with all three all-in. Joseph Hachem took over the chip lead and ended the day of play when his pocket Kings held up and he eliminated both Max and Minh. After more than 9 hours, of the 27 players that started the day, 8 players remained seated with chips and the 2005 WSOP Champion, Joseph Hachem, in his first Las Vegas appearance is sitting atop the leader board going into the final round on Tuesday holding $285,000 of the play money. Kido Pham is close behind with $254,500 and Doug Lee is third in the chip race with $189,000. Next in line Steven Hudak ($145,000), John Smith ($144,000) and Lee Watkinson ($128,500). J.C. Tran is seventh with $97,500 separated by a single $1K chip from the short stack, Scotty Nguyen ($96,500).

The final table of the Paris/Bally's 2005 WSOP Circuit Event has a group of high caliber, proven tournament players. Two of poker's bluebloods, Scotty Nguyen and Joseph Hachem, have won five WSOP Championship bracelets including two of the platinum Main Event Championship variety. Another of the players, Lee Watkinson, has never had a major win, but has been to the bank with more than $1.75 million in tournament winnings for the last couple of years. A former WSOP Circuit Championship winner, Doug Lee, is seated with a good chip count. This final table promises to be another battle of the best.

Jennifer Harman went out in the eleventh spot after a severe card drought sucked up most of her short stack with antes and blinds. She finally went all-in and was called by Doug Lee. For the second time this year the two were all-in against each other in a WSOP Circuit Championship event. Both times the come has favored Doug and twice the lone remaining female has had to walk away. Eventually Jennifer is going to take down one of the majors just like she takes down the toughest of the big-cash players.

Paris/Bally's Resort located in the heart of the Las Vegas strip combines one of the original super properties with a contemporary romantic Paris-themed casino. Bally's was the first Las Vegas casino project to go over a hundred million dollars, coming in for around one hundred ten million. Everything about the original property was done on a grand scale to compete with Caesar's Palace, the long-standing benchmark of Las Vegas luxury. The casino showcased beautifully painted vaulted ceilings in the huge casino. Even the coffee shop was above standard with white table cloths and real silver. Another Las Vegas first could be found on the lower level of Bally's, the first ever enclosed shopping mall in a Las Vegas Strip resort.

The Paris side of the conjoined hotel twins became a Las Vegas landmark before it was completed in 1999. The replica Eiffel Tower rises above the Las Vegas Strip to a height of fifty stories. From the observation deck at the top you can see a huge Egyptian Pyramid, Dancing fountains in Italy, a Roman Palace, a tropical island with an erupting volcano, a sailing ship and crew of playmates sinking into the sea and even a mountain range that Wynn built. Inside the Paris the resort is a Las Vegas version of the other Paris that includes not only the tower but an Arc de Triomphe and Louve. The hotel has 2,916 guest rooms offering the visitor the latest in luxurious accommodations.

Bally's has 2,814 oversize guest rooms and suites. The casino occupies 70,000 square feet and is filled with more than a hundred table games that's sure to include all of your favorites. The casino is also home to 2,100 of the latest slot machines. The Paris/Bally's Resort is located within an easy stroll to all of the major strip resorts.

The poker room located in Bally's has been in operation since opening August 1, 2004. Poker operations at Bally's and the Paris are the responsibility of Chris Eggers, Director of Specialty Gaming. The 10 table room is located in the central area of the casino close to hotel registration and the passageway to the Paris. The room is spacious, the tables are large, the lighting is subdued to a focus on the table surface and the seating was chosen with the player's comfort in mind. A sit-down bar is conveniently located adjacent to the room providing players easy access to rest and relax away from the poker table. Drink service to the tables is constant and quick with the bar just a couple of steps away. Big screen TV's are located around the room so you don't miss any of the sports action. Bally's has set up four poker tables in the sports book that are available through the NFL football season. The tables are opened on Sundays from 10:00 AM until the last NFL game of the day. Play poker while you are surrounded by all the NFL Sunday action.

Bally's poker room spreads the following games: Limit Hold'em $2-$4 up to $10-$20, No-limit Hold'em $1-$2 with a $100-$200 buy-in or $2-$5 with a $200-$500 buy-in, $1-$5 Stud, $2-$4 Pineapple and Crazy Pineapple plus $4-$8 Omaha 8 or better. No-limit Hold'em tournaments are offered Monday thru Friday at 11:00 AM. The buy-in is $50 + $5 with no rebuys or add-ons. Sign-up for the daily events begins at 10:00am and seating is limited to 50 players so come early since many of the tournaments are a sell out. Contact Bally's Poker Room direct at 702.967.4483 for all the details.

The Paris Poker Room opened September 2, 2005 in an open area in the center of the casino. The room features 9 tables arranged under a canopy outside a bar reminiscent of a Paris street scene. A steady stream of foot traffic flows alongside the room, adding to the open-air sidewalk feel. The Paris Poker Room has just completed installation of new tables with a large WSOP logo on each end of the felt, just like the 2005 WSOP tables.

The Paris poker Room offers Limit Hold'em $3-$6 up to $10-$20 or higher on demand, $1-2 No-limit Hold'em with a $100-$200 buy-in and $2-$5 with a $200-$500 buy-in, $1-$5 Stud, $3-$6 Pineapple and Crazy Pineapple and $4-$8 Omaha 8 or Better. The Paris Poker Room offers poker lessons 24 hours a day. You can phone the Paris Poker Room direct at 702.946.2426 for complete details.

Nick Schulman wins Foxwoods!

The final table of the WPT World Poker Finals was held Friday at Foxwoods, the largest casino in the world, which is nestled in the hills of Western Connecticut. That was the site where history was made when Nick "Takeover
