World Series of Poker: Events #18-20
Michael "The Mouth" Matusow wins Event #18 (No-Limit 2-7 Lowball). The good folks at the WSOP didn't send us a picture of him, but you all know what he looks like. Chad Brown continues his great WSOP '08 run as part of a trifecta of Ante Up guests to cash.

Daniel Negreanu wins the first bracelet for our tally this year, bringing home the bling for Ante Up guests in Event #20 (Limit Hold'em). No photo sent of him, either. We're guessing the WSOP knows we know what the celebrity pros look like, so no need to hog bandwith by sending us snapshots of them.

Ante Up guests
1. Daniel Negreanu, $204,863

Christopher Cosenza is co-host of the longest running poker podcast on the planet, Ante Up! He started playing poker seriously in 2003 and his favorite players are Phil Ivey and Kenna James, though he tends to act like Phil Hellmuth if you make a bad play against him.
Scott Long, Ante Up!'s other co-host, is the author of the monthly Bet on It column in tbt*. He began gambling way too young (don't tell the fuzz!) and in the seventh grade, named his state "Gambleland" for a school project (State Animal? Loan shark, of course).
Isn't Kenna James an Ante Up! member? Why isn't his cash for the Nation? I am sure he called Chris already about this.
