For years, Russell Simmons has been the King Midas of the hip-hop world: Everything he touches turns to gold...or platinum. While this phenomenon is obviously most lucrative for Simmons himself, his extraordinary talents as a businessman (and, frankly, an architect of culture) have helped elevate an entire community to a position of importance in the world of modern media. And Simmons' new interactive Web site, appropriately called 360HipHop.com, completes the circle of his influence on the genre.
But with so many successful hip-hop Web sites out there, such as AKA.com or Chuck D's Rapstation.com, not to mention the Internet versions of media icons like BET and Vibe magazine, many would wonder why Simmons feels the need to delve so deeply into this arena himself. How will his site be any different? The answer is pretty simple: Simmons has the experience and clout to create an online forum through which he can generate profits as well as expand his community's influence on the information superhighway, which has tried its best to leave black Americans behind. Most important, this latest venture will reflect just how much the face and scope of urban culture have changed since Simmons started Def Jam Records less than two decades ago.
Back in 1983, as MCs challenged one another to rhyming battles at nightclubs and playgrounds from New York to Los Angeles, Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin started Def Jam Records, a label designed to promote and distribute this budding musical form called hip-hop to anyone who would listen. In 1986, when the Beastie Boys released Licensed to Ill on Def Jam, no one could believe just how many listeners there were. Still among the best-selling hip-hop albums of all time, Licensed to Ill attracted a totally new audience to the genre, and suddenly the profits were pouring in.
In Hip Hop America, Nelson George's brilliant account of this genre's history and evolution, the author dedicates an entire chapter to the many incarnations of Simmons and his empire. He might as well have written the entire book about Simmons. And rightfully so: Throughout the 1990s, Simmons truly earned his title as the quintessential "Hip Hoppreneur" (a term coined by Black Enterprise's Eric Smith). Thanks to his experience with Def Jam and his unique vantage point as someone who was behind the scenes at ground-zero of the revolution, Simmons built an empire based on the knowledge that hip-hop culture could influence all of modern society. He started Rush Management, a company that handled hungry young artists looking for a break and always generated a buzz. Then came Def Comedy Jam, the hit HBO series that discovered urban comedic talents who often arrived at super-stardom later, such as Martin Lawrence.
Later, inspired by the glamour of the fashion community and the trend-setting power of urban artists, Simmons launched his own clothing line, Phat Pharm, with upscale boutiques in major cities, including New York's posh SoHo district. And let's not forget Simmons' Oneworld Magazine, or dRush, his advertising company, which specializes in tantalizing this elusive yet extremely profitable market. (Although, truth be told, neither enterprise is as successful as Simmons had hoped.) At the end of the day, estimates place Russell Simmons' private empire in the range of $500 million, and he certainly seems to be basking in his successes. And at the ripe young age of 42, he shows no signs of slowing down.
Why should he, when hip-hop's international audience has blossomed into a group that spends $85 billion annually? If anyone had told Russell Simmons or Rick Rubin those figures in 1983, they would have keeled over laughing. I mean, really, in order to generate that kind of revenue, you have to get white teenagers to embrace a fundamentally black art form. Unlike Motown, the lyrics and style of hip-hop are completely unapologetic, and the genre is defined by speaking honestly about the social conditions that affect the lives of African-Americans. What could be met with more apathy, more dismissal, than the angry declarations of black men who, in spite of their poeticism, are still decrying the injustices inflicted upon them by, you know, The Man?
Of course, not all hip-hop is political, and this huge market cannot be reduced to a simple formula of success. Just the music aspect itself is boundless enough to warrant several different genres, such as urban R&B (Destiny's Child, Dru Hill), gangsta (Dr. Dre, Tupac Shakur), East Coast (Biggie Smalls, DMX), and West Coast (R. Kelly, most gangsta rappers). Although urban culture is often equated with black culture, many new artists and influences on the genre come from different ethnic backgrounds.
Look at Eminem, the first white rhymer to be raised in the projects. Or what about the Latino graffiti artists and break-dancers from Los Angeles and Miami? And Asian-Americans like the Invisibl Skratch Piklz already run the DJ scene. The ever-changing, ever-expanding face of urban culture has come to include art, literature, and film, in addition to fashion, television, music, and politics. So, what should be included in a Web site that hopes to encapsulate and represent all of "hip-hop America?"

Aprilia's new Tuono V4 R APRC has genuine superbike performance, advanced electronic rider aids, a MotoGP soundtrack and a real-world, roomy riding position. Could this be the ultimate real-world superbike? Producing a claimed 167bhp, it's more powerful than its closest super naked rivals, like the Ducati Streetfighter, KTM 990 Super Duke and Triumph Speed Triple. It's a serious weapon on the track thanks to its balanced chassis, strong brakes, powerful engine, quickshifter, traction control and anti-wheelie. On the road it's loads of fun when you turn the anti-wheelie off and setting the traction control high to deal with the unexpected, is a useful safety feature. You can be the first away from the traffic light GP too, if you use the electronic launch control. With a wide spread of smooth power and an impeccable throttle response it's far less brutal then the V-twin Tuono of old. It's also available without the APRC package for a grand less.
The Tuono uses the same compact 65° V4 engine as the RSV4 superbike, but tweaked slightly to make it friendlier for road riding. Claimed power is 167bhp@11,500rpm and there's 82ftlb of torque at 9500rpm. The rev limit is set at 12,300rpm.Compared to the RSV4, the motor has new valve timing, 20mm longer fixed intake trumpets (opposed to electronically-operated in the superbike) and a heavier flywheel. The first three ratios in the cassette gearbox are shorter and it still has a slipper clutch.The motor is soft and friendly at low revs, builds strongly in the midrange and explodes into an arm-wrenching frenzy at high rpm. It's fabulous. Both the APRC and non-APRC versions have three power maps to choose from: T (track), S (sport) and R (road).
Handling and braking on-track is as good as any superbike and it's impressively stable for a super naked machine with high handlebars, thanks to its superb chassis set-up and anti-wheelie control. It's the same confidence-inspiring story on the road and your body isn't contorted into a race crouch, like on a superbike. The seat is very hard, though and becomes a pain within an hour's riding. Compared to the RSV4, the chassis is the same but the engine is positioned 5mm lower, the front end kicked out by 10mm and the swingarm pivot lowered by 5mm, to suit the Tuono's more upright riding position
Plump for the APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) version and you get anti-wheelie, launch and traction control and a quickshifter. That's on top of a beautifully-crafted aluminium frame and swingarm, fully-adjustable Sachs suspension, Brembo brakes and a switchable display (road/race) LCD dash. You get an amazing amount of equipment for your money.
The Tuono is superbly built, has robust paintwork and a polished frame and swingarm. Reliability should be top notch too.
When you consider how much the price of Japanese machinery has increased over the past few years, the Tuono V4 R look like the bargain of the century, especially when you consider its high performance and level of equipment.

I would describe this bike as the best bike i have owned. It handles and stops brilliantly, looks immense, aprc package is the best i have used, totally reliable and stonking v4 engine. I have owned the best Japan has to offer, but none have the character of this Italian gem.
13 September 2013
I just bought one of the APRC models and have racked up 180miles in 2 days....this is a full on toy...does commute if needed but even the stock exhaust can make windows rattle...I absolutely love the bike.
SO what if it only does about 100 miles to a tank...my old KTM 990SMT did 130 from a much bigger tank and doesn't even get close to the Tuono for road fun factor.
Only the likes of the KTM Super duke R could come close to this for handling but all the electronic aids just make this so easy to enjoy....nicely done Aprilia
29 July 2012
LOL bike
took one for a test ride and nearly didn't take it back...i wanted to try it on every back road I could find.
A race can on the demo makes a sound to die for and the bike is almost everything any ageing sportsbike rider could want...speed, handling and upright but the seat is like a park bench so best avoid straight roads and make use of the sublime handling and its the easiest bike to move about on i've ever ridden.
For me the default tyres aren't best suited to the UK....good tyre but too soft and moves about a lot.
20 July 2012
best bike ever !
rode one on Monday simlpy awesome sound, midrange , top end , handling , everything ! I have owned 1098r , gsxr1000, ktm super duke and ridden everything else . The Apilia is outstanding and even comfortable( dont change the seat aprilia you will lose feel ) all I need to do now is convicen the missus the pillion seat is OK . Ii wont sell my gsxr100k5 but the gsx14 can go. If really necessary the gsxr can go too the Aprilia is that good!!!!

I test drove the Aprillia Tuono V4 R APRC on Saturday afternoon courtesy of Jim Allen In Falkirk.
I wanted to love this bike and buy it!! It ticked all the boxes for me the V4 engine the upright riding position. The acceleration the handling the race pedigree, the fully programmable controls and that amazing howl of the exhaust .... It just screamed, "BUY ME NOW!!!"
The engine is just amazing, the handling is sublime and the road manners for a 160BHP bike are just incredible.
However the seat is like a plank of wood - hard and seriously uncomfortable. I lasted just over 100 miles and could hardly walk after riding it. Aprillia - Please give it a better, more comfortable seat.
I would also raise the handle bars by at least 50mm (2 inches) but that would be my personal preference.
I hope Aprillia addresses these issues so that I can buy one next year!! Cause otherwise it is an truly awesome machine.
26 July 2011
Epic Bike!
You can believe all the hype about this bike, it really is that good to ride and the soundtrack is amazing. I can't see me selling mine anytime soon. I cant praise it enough !!!

I also got this bike just over a week ago and its amazing the sound is to die for (hope not) do not test ride one lol

IF YOU DONT BUY THIS BIKE OR RIDE THIS BIKE THEN YOU HAVE NOT LIVED AND YOU MIGHT AS WELL BE DEAD. I have to shout about it because today june 4th Got this baby, it is so much fun, handles superb, drive superb,grin factor mega, and the sound will make you masterbate like crazy.

Sorry to the R1 rider who i blew away and left for dead, as he watched me back it inot the corners, and i was gone. what a track day tool this will be, but on the road it simply stunning.

The best
The tuono V4 standard can draw comments like this , but you will not get what this bike can truly offer . With a full titanium exhaust , a race map , and K&N filter , everything you experience on a standard Tuono goes up a notch . There is no words to really describe it .Then add some BST carbon fibre rims , and watch it go up another notch on the notch . Try imagining what it's like to ride a bike such as this . If your not drooling , your not in the picture.

V4R Tuono
Bought mine begining of June 2011, it's now done 2500miles and can honestly say it's the best bike I've owned. Great soundtrack, sublime handling. Had 1 problem with it, when it cut out whilst overtaking an artic, wouldn't restart untill I switched the ignition off and back on, The dealer found no fault, and its never happened again. The seat is very hard, after 100miles I could hardly walk! But have now got used to it, and is no longer a problem. The only gripe I have is fuel consumption and tank range, averaging 25mpg and a tank range of 90miles, but then I didnt buy it for its fuel economy fortunately!! Otherwise I would recommend this bike to anybody and I wont be selling mine anytime soon!!

V4 disappointment
I got my V4 Tuono back in July after a test ride that blew me away. Picked it up from Peterborough and rode it home, about 75 miles. After getting home I noticed the chain had about 90mm of free play (up and down slop), I adjusted the chain to the correct 30mm of free play then went for another ride of about 50 miles. After this ride the chain had at least 70mm of free play. I had to adjust the chain aniother 4 times before the bikes 1st service at 600miles. I complained to the dealer but they said Aprilia would not replace the chain. I bought a DID chain and fitted it and havn't had to adjust it yet (2100 miles on odo now). At 1500 miles the bike would not start (completely dead). Back to the dealer it went after I fornd that the engine earth bolt had been cross threaded and the cabes were loose. Dealer fixed the problem with a helicoil. At 2000 miles I had an urgent service warning on dash. Back to the dealers with the bike. They found a faulty sensor but it took 3 weeks for them to get a replacement (the part had been superceeded and the updated part wasn't available. Has anyone else had these problems. I am going to the NEC bike show this weekend and will have a go at Aprilia!!! If it brakes down again it will have to go!!

I own this brilliant bike, but keep reading about how hard the seat is. Now you can safely say Ive most likely ridden one more than most, and trust me this is not an issue. May I suggest to those complaining a bit more meat around your skinny ass would fix the problem.

Steering Damper ???
I also got my new (APRC) on the 1st September and have enjoyed nearly every minute on it apart from a few rare moments when I thought the steering damper was not quite up to the job. This is the only negative thing I can say about what in short is a brilliant bike. Not to worry though I'll replace the damper with a top end ohlin while its tucked away in the warm over the winter.
It would be nice to know what other owners think of the standard damper. up to the job or not?

Sushi-no-Mai aka Japanese Grandpa's Sushi Takeaway Shop, Watford Market
Hidden inside the slightly downtrodden Watford Market is one of the best little sushi places I've ever eaten at. Sparklingly fresh seafood, expertly prepared and served at knockout prices - there's a lot to like about Sushi-no-mai.
The sushi is prepared by Chef M Shimo, a previous employee of Harrod's lavish sushi bar, who decided to set up on his own. He's a classically trained sushi chef, with qualifications recognised by Sanchokai the Japan Sushi Association, meaning there's a genuine authenticity that shines through in the food.
I also spied the table next to me ordering the teriyaki pork, which looked excellent. All sticky sweet pork and salty sauce, which I'll definitely be ordering on my next visit.
I left absolutely stuffed and completely blown away.

Thanks for your comment on my post about Grandpa's Sushi, am really pleased my post was useful.
By the way, I'm not 100% sure in my comment that Chef Shimo worked at Harrods, so may be best to edit that to make it less of a statement of fact?

Travel south across the Mayo Bridge, and take a right on west 7th, up Semmes behind Suntrust Mortgage, over the Lee Bridge, all the way back toward the Greater Richmond Convention Center. The half marathon will do two loops. View the links below for the course map and cue sheet. The new 5K course will travel down 7th, Main, 2nd, and Spring Streets before joining the Half loop at Belvidere.
Both the 10K Course and Half Marathon Course distances have been certified by the Road Running Technical Council of USA Track & Field. No more guessing if it was a "long course" or if your Garmin gave you a different mileage.
There will be water / Sports drink/ Clif Shot Bloks at approximately mile 2, 4, 6.5, 8.5, 10.5 of the loop and at the finish. All post race activities are inside the Greater Richmond Convention Center... warm & cozy!

In the early 1800s Mendota was a major center of the region's fur trade. Some of Minnesota's oldest buildings stand here, including the home of Henry Hastings Sibley, fur trader, general, and first governor of Minnesota. The restored buildings help tell the history of the region's fur trade, Sibley's involvement in business and politics (Sibley's governor's office is located here), as well as his role in the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862.

All for it!!
Thats what I would like to hear. Hey Botrocker, you win. I'll buy you a drink in next years Coachella if this happens.
You just saved me from starting a thread with a similar title.
Cheers for m83 and Kasabian. Bring em on GV!
i'm seeing m83 in less than a month, i'm excited!
Thanks betao! *It looks like I'm not going to make it at V-Fest Baltimore*
I'll also buy you a drink in next years Coachella. *No drinks and introduction of myself to Fro again*
Where you would see M83? *Okay - I'll be googling ... I forgot where they are touring but if I'm not mistaken none of them will be near my place.*
i'm catching them at the Black Cat in DC, June 7. Ticket's are relatively cheap, only 15.
Man, am I the only one from the board hitting up V-fest? you going to Lolla or APW instead idrive? btw, just call me matt. no one can pronounce my name anyway haha.
Thanks Matt.
I'm going to Lolla and because of that we canceled APW (we were planning on going Friday only in APW then Saturday and Sunday Virgin Fest).
I was thinking I could still do Virgin fest because I like the lineup (and I still have my flights reserved going to NYC) however, it looks like I'm doing ATP MBV in New York/Roseland shows (already bought tix).
ah. Sorry to hear. But you're getting to see MBV and Mogwai at the same festival, you can't go wrong with that. And Lolla is sure to be a good time. I'm going to V-fest for the dance tent + NIN and Gogol Bordello. That dance tent lineup is like a dream come true for me man.

Filipino force defied UN commander in Golan crisis
Qatar is said to be mediating between Fiji and the Al Nusrah Front for the release of 44 Fijian UN peacekeeping troops seized by Al Nusrah in Quneitra near the Golan Heights. Al Nusrah has demanded compensation and support as well as the removal of its name from the UN's terrorist list. The Syrian army has been trying to retake the Quneitra border crossing from Al Nusrah and allied groups. The Islamic Front backed by Al Nusrah clashed with regime forces in Quneitra. State media claimed the army cut off a supply route in western Deraa used by terrorists coming from Jordan to Quneitra. The regime also condemned the European Union's alleged policies of arming terrorists and purchasing stolen Syrian oil from them. Regime forces clashed with the Islamic State in Deir Izzour and in Homs.

Syrian army, Al Nusrah Front fight on Golan where peacekeepers held
In Deir Izzour, the Islamic State continued preparations for an assault on the military airbase, and also executed five men on various charges, including "apostasy." Regime airstrikes targeted the IS in Raqqah. The Al Nusrah Front flogged a man for "insulting the divine" in Idlib. Kurdish YPG fighters battled IS in Hasakah. Al Nusrah, the Islamic Front, the al Akrad Front, and rebels clashed with the IS near the al Shahba Dam in Aleppo. Al Nusrah claimed to have captured 45 Fijian UN peacekeepers in Quneitra near the Golan Heights; 32 Philippine peacekeepers were rescued and another 40 Philippine troops escaped "during a ceasefire agreed with the armed elements."

Al Nusrah Front announces detention of 45 UN peacekeepersThe Al Nusrah Front, al Qaeda's official branch in Syria, has announced its responsibility for the detention of 45 UN peacekeepers in Syria. The group claims its actions are justified because the UN supposedly works "against Muslims."
ISIS says forcing detained pilots to train militants: report
All of the Philippine UN peacekeeping troops in the Golan area that were surrounded by the Al Nusrah Front were rescued after intervention by UN rapid response forces as well as distracting artillery fire by regime forces; Al Nusrah still holds 45 Fijian peacekeeping troops. Al Nusrah claimed that the troops were detained because the UN passed a resolution against the group, and also alleged that the UN colluded with the Assad regime and ignored the shedding of Muslim blood. The Islamic State is said to have sold 300 Yazidi women to its fighters in Syria. The IS also has established a new state called al-Furat straddling the border of Syria and Iraq, which includes al-Bokamal city and al-Qa'em city in Iraq as well as nearby towns in Deir Izzour.

Orlando Fringe show "Which Side Are You On?" focuses on labor
Two-person show traces history of the Wobblies and labor activism in the United States
Published: May 21, 2014
There's power in a union, part 2
If you find yourself moved by the fast-food strikers' plight (or if you're just interested in the labor struggle in general), there's a play at the Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival right now that might interest you that attempts to give the current state of labor affairs some historical context. It's a little weak on plot, but what it lacks in theatrical finesse it makes up for in enthusiasm and historical detail.
Tallahassee attorney David H. Abrams and his wife, Barbara, star in Which Side Are You On?, a two-person show that imagines a Q&A conversation between a modern-day Occupy protester (played by Barbara) and the ghost of early labor organizer Joe Hill (David), a migrant laborer, songwriter and International Workers of the World union member who traveled the country agitating for better conditions for workers. Hill schools the clueless Occupy member, whom he meets when he stumbles across an Occupy tent camp, about the history of labor in the United States, pointing out that many of the rights workers take for granted today were earned by men and women who were imprisoned, and sometimes killed, to earn them.
By the time the play's 50 minutes comes to an end, the two have discussed the Wobblies and introduced the audience to Lucy Parsons, Mother Jones, Eugene Debs and the real history of Labor Day – subjects, they point out, that are covered briefly (if at all) in public schools these days – and have successfully managed to make the point that, although lots of labor battles have been won, there are still a lot of disturbing parallels that can be drawn between the bosses of the past and the bosses of the present.
While we usually stay out of theater criticism here in Happytown, we'll give you fair warning that if you're a theater aficionado, you're likely to find the production value here lacking. And you will be expected to sing along. But after you've listened to the ghost of Joe Hill tell you about the men and women who died to keep kids out of coal mines and to establish the eight-hour workday, you may not mind doing a little call-and-response to the tune of "There Is Power in a Union."

2014 WSOP Event #41 $1,500 Dealer's Choice Six-HandedJune 23, 2014 - 11:35am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
Players choose their poker game of choice to play for one circuit of the deck. Most attempt to choose a variation that they believe gives them an advantage over the other table players. Sometimes this strategy works well when you're with players that have a history. Other timed you're sitting at a table in the WSOP and most of the other players are great at all games.
When one of the players is a Mizrachi from the Florida Mizrachi poker dynasty that includes Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi you know there is probably not any game you can choose that would favor you.
The Grinder's older brother, Robert Mizrachi, is one of those players and he was at this final table. Heads-up with Aaron Schaff, Mizrachi called for A-5 triple draw. Cards were dealt and he soon had Schaff all-in and drawing dead, after tabling a 6-5-3-2-A to Schaff's 7 high, it was lights out,game over.
Robert Mizrachi had his second WSOP gold bracelet and another $147,092 to add to his play bank. Aaron Schaff heads home to East Brunswick, New Jersey with $90,854 for second place. The event signed up 419 entrants and created a prize pool of $565,650. The top 42 finishers collected prize money.
2014 WSOP Event #35 $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Eight HandedJune 23, 2014 - 11:15am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
Practically any poker tournament that plays a form of Hold'em will attract a crowd of hopefuls standing in line waiting to trade their buy-ins for a seat. Event #35 of the 2014 WSOP was no exception even though the buy-in was a healthy $5,000 to get a seat in this Hold'em event that officially was a No-Limit variety with an additional condition of eight players per table.
An entry list that topped off at 550 entrants created a prize pool of $2,585,000 with $633,341 destined for the eventual winner. Scheduled for 4 days of play the event moved along with such a rapid pace of eliminations that the whole affair was wrapped up on Day 3. The top 56 finishers left with cash from the prize pool.
The last contestant with chips and a chair was Brian Yoon from Torrance, California. Continuing on the quick pace of day 3 the heads-up play lasted just 19 hands between Brian Yoon and second place finisher, Josh Arieh. On the last hand, Yoon flopped a flush when the board showed all diamonds . Arieh comitted all his chips holding the Ace of diamonds but needing another diamond for the nut flush. The diamonds remained hidden in the deck and Yoon's 9 high diamond flush gave him title to his second WSOP gold bracelet and $633,341 in cash.
Josh Arieh also had a nice payday with $391,575 coming his way as runner up.

2014 WSOP Event #33 $1,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold'emJune 18, 2014 - 1:42am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
Dutch Boyd won Event #33, a $1,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em affair, that attracted 1688 players and offered a $1,519,200 prize pool. The top 171 finishers received a part of the purse with $288,744 going to the winner.
Boyd won his first WSOP gold back in 2006, then four years elapsed before he won his second in 2010 then four years elapsed before he won his third bracelet today and... Do I see a pattern developing here? Will Dutch Boyd's fourth bracelet come in 2018? Stay tuned folks.
Day three saw a relatively short final table and when two players remained for the heads-up match it was over in a quick 17 hands. Dutch Boyd remained in control throughout and dispatched second place finisher Steven Norden in short order.
Steven Norden of Princeton, New Jersey goes home with $178,490 and a great story about what could have been.
2014 WSOP Event #34 $1,500 buy-in Seven Card StudJune 18, 2014 - 1:39am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
Most everyone that has sat around a table and played poker has tried their hand at a few variations of the game including Seven Card Stud or even Five Card Stud. Once the staple of the game before the infusion of Hold'em took over in the seventies meant you could always find a Stud game in Vegas.
Whether you wanted to play $1-2 limit at the old Mint Casino's two table poker room downtown or head up to the Strip and try one of the nose-bleed-limit games, stud was king. Did you know that the Circus-Circus Casino even offered $1-3 limit Six Card Stud? I sat in one of those games once and came in third best with quad Kings during one of the hands.
Even though the stud games' popularity has taken a hit it's still played in poker rooms around the world including the WSOP. A $1,500 buy-in event just concluded after xxx topped the field of 345 entrants to receive a WSOP gold bracelet and $118,785 in cash.
Alex Kravchenko of Moscow, Russia took the second position and moves on with an additional $73,360 in his play bank. The top 40 finishers collected prize money from the $465,750 purse.
2014 WSOP Event #32 $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Six Handed ChampionshipJune 17, 2014 - 7:47am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
Another WSOP World Championship $10,000 buy-in event determined a champion following the elimination of second place finisher Jeremy Ausmus. This scheduled 3 day event signed up 264 players, each posting the $10,000 buy-in for a seat and an opportunity to become part of poker history.
Among the entrants was 2009 WSOP Main Event Champion, Joe Cada. Cada holds the record for being the youngest poker player to win a WSOP Main Event at the age of 21-years-old. He collected $8,547,044 after topping a field of 6,494 players. He also received the very special WSOP Championship bracelet reserved for Main Event winners.
Joe Cada now has another championship bracelet following his sterling performance tonight at the 2014 WSOP.
2014 WSOP Event #31 $1.5 buy-in No-Limit Hold'emJune 17, 2014 - 6:00am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
Event #31, a popular $1,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em tournament, drew a crowd of 1,631 entrants and offered a prize pool of $2,201,850 to be distributed among the top 171 finishers. Staying true to form and demonstrating the draw power of owning WSOP gold the field included some familiar faces among the hopefuls.
About a half hour before the midnight hour the heads-up play between Ronald Sullivan and Brett Shaffer came to an end when Shaffer's set of deuces outpointed Sullivan's Ace high. Sullivan will have an extra $258,695 in his bank account back home in Bradenton, Florida for his second place finish.
Brett Shaffer of Beloit, Kansas walks away with a nice $418,435 in cash, his second gold WSOP bracelet and perpetuity in the great World Series Of Poker history book.
2014 WSOP Event #29 $2,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold'emJune 16, 2014 - 4:19am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
World Series of Poker Event #29 came to a conclusion early Monday morning and finished the distribution of the $2,650,375 prize pool to the top 117 finishers. The $2,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em tournament attracted a crowd of 1,165 players.
The scheduled three day event included some of poker's better known professional players. In the mix and also on the payout sheet were Brock Parker, Rep Porter, David Pham, Matt Affleck, Tony Dunst, the 1998 Main Event Champion, Scotty Nguyen and 2008 Main Event Champion, Jerry Yang.
An unofficial ten handed final table was reached at about 5:15 and played for two hours before a player, David Benefield, bubbled out to leave the official nine-handed final table. That's a two hour stretch showing how serious and dedicated these players are for WSOP gold. The winner's large pile of cash might also be a motivating factor.
In the end, Pierre Milan of Bagneux, CA, France rose above all the other entrants and claimed his first WSOP gold and a little over a half million in prize money after defeating Justin Oliver heads-up.
2014 WSOP Event #30 $1,500 buy-in Seven Card Stud Hi-Low 8-or-BetterJune 15, 2014 - 11:09pm
by Joseph Smith Sr.
Walking by the WSOP tables and seeing those playing in this event you would never guess it's a relatively low $1,500 buy-in match. With the likes of Ted Forrest, David Levi and Hoyt Corkins one would be more likely to believe it was one of the $10K buy-in championship events.
Almost six hundred players, 588 to be exact, signed up and paid the $1,500 fee to try and outlast everyone else in their quest for the WSOP gold and poker immortality. Just like days of old when thousands of hopefuls climbed White Horse Pass on their way to bagging their share of Alaska's gold the WSOP gold has the same magnetic force on those players seeking fame and fortune.
This event ended with Calvin Anderson besting second place finisher Joe Tehan and walking away with his first WSOP gold bracelet and $190,538 in his pocket.
