Kid Poker Dominates as PokerListings.com's Live Series Coverage Hits Week 3 http://www.prweb.com/releases/wsop/updates/prweb1025234.htm He is, undeniably, one of the biggest poker stars ever. But a four-year bracelet drought at the World Series had some questioning whether the one they call "Kid Poker," Daniel Negreanu, had the drive - or the game - to ever win one again. The definitive answer: Absolutely, with Negreanu dominating the field in Event 20, $2,000 Limit Hold'em, to take his 4th career WSOP* bracelet on Day 14 of PokerListings.com's live 2008 World Series of Poker* coverage.

That guy: bombastic Full Tilt Poker pro Mike "The Mouth" Matusow, who captured his third career WSOP* bracelet on Wednesday by outlasting perhaps the toughest field in World Series history in Event 18, $5,000 No-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw w/Rebuys.

The newly crowned: Svetlana Gromenkova, Winner of Event 15 and the new Ladies World Champion; Andrew Brown, who surprised five-time bracelet winner Ted Forrest to take Event 16; and Jason Young, who captured Event 17, the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout.

Nor any other of the heavily favored poker legends who stepped to the felt for Event 14, the $10,000 World Championship of Seven-Card Stud, at the 2008 World Series of Poker* on Monday. The new Stud World Champ is a 48-year-old business owner from Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, named Eric Brooks, who not only stunned the elite field for the prestigious title and bracelet, stunned the poker media on hand by announcing he was donating all $415,856 of his first-place prize to charity.

But weekend action saw poker's lesser-knowns finally take a measure of revenge, scooping a few gold bracelets of their own and besting the higher-profile players most were expecting to dominate.

To wit: Established pros took home both of the prestigious gold bracelets awarded (Michael Banducci in Event 5; Thang Luu in Event 6), two more final tables were dominated by big name players, and, as several more events progressed, no respite for the ams appeared in sight.

Singer took his jewelry after an extended heads-up match with Jacobo Fernandez in Event 3, $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em, and Lindgren took on likely the best final table in World Series history and pretty much dominated it on the way to victory in Event 4, $5,000 Mixed Hold'em.
