WPT - 2007 Legends of Poker

Monday, 27 August 2007

Hollywood directers Nick Cassavetes (left) and Todd Phillips made the trip to the Bicycle Casino in Bell Gardens for the 2007 Legends of Poker. Both directors began day two with strong stacks and are competing for the title of best poker playing director, in addition to taking a shot at the $1.6 million dollar top prize. Phillips is looking for his first major tournament win after making the final table at legends in 2005 and cashing in the main event of the WSOP this year.

UPDATE: Todd Phillips busted midway through day two and said that he made a stupid play pushing when shortstacked. I asked Cassavetes if they had a directors last longer and he said, "No, Todd's my good friend, I don't want to see him bust. He's a really good player and sometimes kills people with his crazy moves, but he had two really tough players to his left."

Rap producer and head of the Murder Inc. record label Irv Gotti also made it to day 2 of Legends. He is impressing the poker community with his poker skills and ridiculous Jacob the Jeweler watch.

Video Interviews

Irv Gotti is head of the Murder Inc. record label and has recently started playing in some big buy-in poker tournaments. We would joke that Irv Gotti talks about running into dicks in this video, but since Irv is a badass according to Wikipedia we'll just leave that one alone.

Dutch Boyd is back on the tournament scene and is coming off of a very successful WSOP. We wanted to follow up with Dutch after a bizarre day of interviews late last year.
