Upping the Ante

FOX Sports Net is showing the American Poker Championships LIVE from the Turning Stone Casino in upstate New York. It's down to two players, Phil Ivey and John D'Augustino playing for half a million. How long will it last? Who knows, but it's amazing to watch it live despite the less than inspired commentary from Barry Tompkins, Howard Lederer.

John D'Agostino is a 21-year old Mike Piazza look alike who learned poker by playing online. He's a relative novice, but he's playing great especially considering that he's up against Phil Ivey one of the best high stakes players around.

Check it out.

You snooze, you looze. By the way, congrats to Phil Ivey who took down first prize with pockets jacks. The guy is amazing.
