The ongoing 2010 World Series of Poker (WSOP) listed UB.com’s pro Phil Hellmuth to get his second cash. Even so, he was not able to win his 12th bracelet in the Event #17 or $5,000 No Limit Hold’em. Sharing his effort in the event but unfortunately failed, “Out 50th in NL Hold’em, was an ugly ugly run of cards… Too bad I played the cards, shoulda played my opponents more and made it happen.”

On the other side was Joe Sebok who updates his 1.1 million Twitter followers with the Limit Hold’em on Friday. As he tweets, “Sitting down in #wsop23. @PhilIvey is here and I’ve already made two racist jokes at his expense. 7500 starting stack.” He took another playful shot at Ivey a few hours later: “Had @PhilIvey ’s ass all-in twice, but he sucked out both times. Bad players always get it in bad. ”

Tiffany Michelle who also jives with UB’s pros speaks out with the action during the Ladies Event. She tweets, “My table has replaced poker hottie @vanessarousso with poker hottie @saraunderwood. Apparently, it was too much hotness for one table.”

Joining the Twitter fever were Liv Boeree and Eric “basebaldy” Baldwin who tweeted, “Scared to park at WSOP today. Too many women drivers. Took a cab.”
