A Quick Friday Poker News Roundup

Poker pro Phil Ivey wagered $1 million plus on the Super Bowl this past weekend, but 800k means nothing to him...what?"]

1. Kai Landry won the WSOP Circuit Event in Tunica taking home $183,974. As we said yesterday, poker is poker and can be a cruel mistress at times so it only makes sense that Matt "Allinat420" Stout would end up taking his ridiculous chip lead at the start of the final table and only coming away with a third-place finish.

2. Poker pro Phil Ivey definitely lost $800,000 after the first half of the Super Bowl for betting on the Cardinals to have the lead, but then he either broke even or went up $800,000 after the Cardinals stayed within the points spread at the conclusion of the game. According to Ivey during his show on PokerRoad.com, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the two amounts to him. We'd like to point out that he could buy three and a half of our houses with that.

3. The 2009 Venetian Deep Stack Extravaganza I is underway but there doesn't seem to be anything really interesting happening there at the moment.

4. The Caesar's Palace Mega Stack Series is also underway and, as you may have guessed, there is nothing exciting happening there either.

5. The Imperial Palace Super-Duper Stack Bonanza does not exist, but someone should get on that.

6. Actor Steve Martin revealed during an appearance on Late Night with David Letterman that he won $1,000 playing online poker during an Ambien-induced sleepwalking episode. Really? We're no good conscious, so... *quickly Googles nearest pharmacy*

7. Hear the Hardcore Poker Radio remix of some of Phil Hellmuth's best quotes here.

That's all we've got for now, but come back next week for more poker news and poker tournament updates.
