Full Tilt has a set of pros that play exclusively on their site. Chris “Jesus” Ferguson is one of those guys. Today, he was in a 1800-person freeroll tournament that’s a satellite to a large tournament on Saturday. I was just playing because it’s free and because, well, playing in tournaments is fun. Anyway, I was looking around at the other tables and saw this:

I’m number 9 on the right, circled. Seriously, this will never happen with actual money on the line.

Update: Into round two this weekend. Not sure how I’m going to pull that off during Heidi’s shower…

Someone just passed on that Full Tilt Poker now has a native Mac client for their poker games. Pretty sweet. Finally, someone sets one up. No more ugly Java apps (not that I play online much).

Amusing story about potential cheating at the World Series of Poker:

Two black souvenir poker chips that are nearly indistinguishable when stacked with actual $100 chips being used in the World Series of Poker were discovered in play during an official event Tuesday, raising concerns among tournament organizers of a new form of cheating.

Apparently, these souvenir chips are sold in the gift shop for $0.49 and are identical to the $100 chips except that they don’t have the text “100″ stamped on the face. If you’re looking at a stack, they look identical to the chips above and below (same markings on the side). Now, I have a lot of respect for Vegas and the casinos and how they run their business. This, however, seems almost an amateurish mistake, perhaps a marketing guy getting a little too overzealous in creating a good souvenir. Especially since every store from Target to Sports Authority sells official weight poker chip sets…
