Your ‘Dead Money’ blogger Michael DSC00004_1.JPGand how he looked when he hit that Straight Flush earlier this year. It was unbelievable and I kept my Poker Face throughout. Of course I was playing online so it wasn’t too difficult to maintain. Too bad I wasn’t at a WPT event TV Final Table.

Shawn Sheikhan faces Deportation

Thursday, September 20th, 2007
  • Shawn Sheikhan faces Deportation

Shawn SheikhanImmigration Officials arrested Shawn Sheikhan on August 30, 2007 at his Las Vegas home according to a story by Lynnette Curtis in the Las Vegas Review Journal. He was held for more than a week before he posted $10,000 bond. Possible deportation is on the horizon for Sheikhan over his 1995 conviction on charges of sexual battery and annoyance or molestation of a child.

Federal authorities are looking to deport Sheikhan because of the misdemeanor conviction in California.

“This individual was targeted for ICE arrest because of his criminal history,” Virginia Kice, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said in an e-mail message Wednesday. “ICE has an ongoing initiative called Operation Predator targeting individuals, including foreign nationals, who prey upon and sexually exploit children.”

“We want to see him removed from the United States,”

Source: Las Vegas Review Journal

Sheikhan served 9 months in jail and 5 years probation following the conviction.

WSOP Europe H.O.R.S.E. Champion is Thomas Bihl

Sunday, September 9th, 2007
  • Thomas Bihl defeats Jennifer Harman to become the 2007 WSOPE H.O.R.S.E. Bracelet Winner

Jennifer HarmanThomas BihlThomas Bihl outlasted Jennifer Harman in a Marathon Final Table. Thomas won the Championship on the 353rd hand of the Final Table and the 128th hand of Heads up play with Jennifer. Photos Source: PokerNews 

The Bracelet was won when Thomas had Jennifer outchipped approximately 9-1 and while the Tournament was in the 17th Round. Small Blind $10,000 and the Big Blind $20,000 for Hold ‘Em, Razz and Omaha. Stud Ante and Bring In is $5,000. They had just changed the game from Stud 8 to Hold ‘Em.

After a flop of Ks7S7C and a turn that brought the 10S Jennifer pushed All-In for her remaining 67,000 and Thomas called for 27,000. Jennifer displayed 2 pair 10’s and 7’s while Thomas had a straight and flush draw. The river filled Thomas’s straight with a 6 and eliminated Jennifer from the H.O.R.S.E. Championship.

The Final Table was a Roller Coaster ride for Jennifer. She started the day with the Chip Lead but fell to Short Stack by the Dinner Break. She survived All-Ins a few times and came all the way back to have the Chip Lead as Heads Up began with Thomas. By the 295th Hand Jennifer’s had a 500,000 lead in chips 780,000 to 270,000.  Thomas started his comeback and by the 350th Hand led 920,000 to 130,000 and the Championship was determined just 3 Hands later.

Your ‘Dead Money’ blogger Michael DSC00004_1.JPGand how he looked when he hit that Straight Flush earlier this year. It was unbelievable and I kept my Poker Face throughout. Of course I was playing online so it wasn’t too difficult to maintain. Too bad I wasn’t at a ‘Bad Beat’ Jackpot table.

About Just Poker Talk

There’s a lot to learn about poker, much more than the game itself. The last few years are a perfect example of poker’s growth into mainstream American culture - books, movies, video games, television, poker players as celebrities, etc. Along with poker strategy and theory, Just Poker Talk plans to chronicle these happenings because it says something about society, about the state of the world, and, more than anything, we want to know what it all means.
