Do the costumes match up well with these personalities?<\/p>\n
As the Mike Postle<\/strong> alleged cheating scandal developed, this poker podcaster was one of the chief investigators.<\/p>\n Got some time to kill? Apparently Ingram did. He spent hours and hours poring over video of Postle on the Stones Live<\/b> poker stream.<\/p>\n Episode 4 \u2013 https:\/\/t.co\/IIMR0TVScZ<\/a><\/p>\n Postle goes to another level this episode when he runs down Aces, wins a $12k pot checking river in the perfect moment & plays this absurd hand.<\/p>\n Mike limp\/calls pre-flop \u2013 cold calls flop c\/r \u2013 bets 1\/4 pot turn \u2013 bets 2.5x pot on the river pic.twitter.com\/15PSlNg0tI<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Joey Ingram (@Joeingram1) October 25, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n The work paid off and he produced some great work in helping raise some real questions about the situation. Since then, Stones has launched a second investigation. It might be better just to hire this Sherlock Holmes of poker for the case.<\/p>\n You certainly wouldn\u2019t want Ingram working for the prosecution if you have a legal problem. It might be better just to plead guilty.<\/p>\n \u2022 Alternative costumes \u2013 Magnum PI; Columbo; Dick Tracy; Batman<\/em><\/p>\n The famed poker shark has had some legal trouble over the last few years. That\u2019s included edge sorting, lawsuits, and confiscation of his WSOP winnings this summer by the US Marshals Service<\/strong>.<\/p>\n That $124,000 was forked over to New Jersey\u2019s Borgata<\/b> casino for the $10 million<\/b> judgement the property has against him.<\/p>\n Ivey has 10 WSOP bracelets and more than $28 million in live tournament winnings. But in recent years he may have become more known for his issues of jurisprudence than poker. He\u2019s been fighting the Borgata case since 2012.<\/p>\n That changed a bit over the last year and Ivey recently scored two runner-up finishes at the WSOP Europe<\/b>.<\/p>\n Like the famous skyjacker DB Cooper<\/strong>, Ivey may have gotten away with his edge sorting. He\u2019s now just trying to hang on to the cash.<\/p>\n \u2022 Alternative costumes \u2013 The Fugitive; Inspector Gadget; magician David Blaine\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n He may now be a poker vlogging sensation, but Negreanu\u2019s ability at reading others\u2019 hands amazes many. Like a stage magician knowing which card an audience member selected, he seems otherworldly.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t a guy you want looking deep into you soul. He might produce some of those scary, long-forgotten childhood memories.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Just a quick look into your eyes and Negreanu might even conjure up your email password or ATM pin number. Look away and just give this trick or treater some candy \u2013 no questions asked.<\/p>\n \u2022 Alternative costumes \u2013 Brainiac; Doctor Strange; Harry Potter; a warlock<\/em><\/p>\n Ho wins big at the tables and mans the mic for numerous poker broadcasts<\/strong>. She offers some great insight and has a pleasant voice and demeanor perfect for commentary.<\/p>\n But don\u2019t let that fool you. When the moon comes out and it\u2019s time to play cards, she transforms into a poker vampire.<\/p>\n Sit at her table and she\u2019ll likely take a big bite out of your chip stack. Ho certainly isn\u2019t afraid to draw some blood and currently has almost $4 million<\/strong> in live tournament winnings.<\/p>\n Get in her way, and become her next victim. She\u2019s so nice, however, you\u2019ll probably still tune in to hear her break down the demise of your chip stack.<\/p>\n \u2022 Alternative costumes \u2013 Terminator; Wonder Woman<\/em><\/p>\n The 15-time World Series of Poker<\/b> champion came close to winning No. 16 last week at the WSOP Europe. Hellmuth took a runner-up and third-place finish in four cashes during the series.<\/p>\n His Twitter followers may be accustomed to Hellmuth\u2019s frequent name-dropping and celebrity selfies. From his Golden State Warriors<\/b> courtside seats to his private jet or helicopter trips<\/a>, his #PHNiceLife<\/b> hashtag has become his calling card.<\/p>\n In the last year, the \u201cPoker Brat<\/b>\u201d has posted photos of himself with Tiger Woods<\/b>, Kevin Hart<\/b>, James Woods, Orel Hershiser, Paul Pierce<\/b>, Russell Westbrook, Richard Sherman, Steve Aoki<\/b>, Tito Ortiz, Chris Harrison, Kate Uopton<\/b>, Jennifer Tilly, the owners of the Warriors, and the list could go on and on.<\/p>\n And who can forget posting a photo of himself in a $2,000 Versace<\/b> silk shirt he purchased?<\/p>\n I bought this original Gianni Versace silk shirt in Las Vegas in 1995 for a whooping $2,000! It\u2019s in perfect condition and I\u2019m told it\u2019s worth $5,000 now! I tweeted\/Instagrammed my black\/White @Versace<\/a> shirt yesterday, had a huge response: folks loved it or hated it!! #POSITIVITY<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/nCQq6OJTg0<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 phil_hellmuth (@phil_hellmuth) August 3, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Along with plenty of skills, Hellmuth brings plenty of spectacle. From his gold shoes to gold headphones to his technology investments, he\u2019s always willing to share \u2013 on Twitter.<\/p>\n \u2022 Alternative costumes \u2013 Kim Kardashian; Harvey Levin<\/em><\/p>\n He\u2019s from Texas<\/strong>, he wears a cowboy hat, and he\u2019s been one of the poker good guys through the years. The Godfather of Poker<\/strong> has been shooting it out at the poker tables for decades.<\/p>\n Brunson may be one of the few links remaining to poker\u2019s Old West<\/b> and the WSOP\u2019s Texas<\/b> roots. Even at age 82, he plays for some of the biggest stakes around each day at the Bellagio<\/b>.<\/p>\n With 10 WSOP bracelets, this cowboy took what he said was his last ride through the series in 2018. It was a nice ride into the tournament sunset \u2013 finish sixth in the only event he played, the $10,000 No Limit 2-7 Lowball Championship<\/b>.<\/p>\n For Halloween, Brunson doesn\u2019t even need a costume. He\u2019s the real deal.<\/p>\n \u2022 Alternative costumes \u2013 Wild Bill Hickok; Doc Holliday; Boba Fett<\/em><\/p>\n No doubt many poker fans have read a few of the frequent gripes from the \u201cChainsaw<\/b>.\u201d From tournaments structures to bad beats, Kessler regularly dishes out his criticisms and complaints about all things poker.<\/p>\n Some players and tournament directors see Kessler as a pain in the neck. But his criticisms do have merit at times and he does look out for poker players. He even occasionally <\/i>compliments a property on a well-run tournament.<\/p>\n But it\u2019s Kessler\u2019s shade-throwing that attracts attention and the Oscar the Grouch outfit might be fitting. Apparently his reputation has even reached other continents.<\/p>\n Haha @RealKidPoker<\/a> a random German just walked up to me in the @PokerroomKings<\/a> buffet; and said in broken English “Vat are u upset about today”?<\/p>\n\n
