Annie Duke’s it out again in Celebrity Apprentice
In tonight’s Celebrity Apprentice, Annie Duke faced off and won against Joan rivers as a project manager. The task? To auction pieces from the Ivanka Trump jewelry line.
The best part? Piers Morgan (”America’s Got Talent” judge and winner of the first season of Celebrity Apprecntice) made an appearance as a judge and tore some new assholes in the boardroom.
Annie did a great job of urging her friends at the auction. Annie’s secret weapon team included poker pro Andy Bloch and Anthrax guitar player Scott Ian.
“She (Annie) really knows how to take money from people - cos that’s what she does for a living!”
– Playmate Brandy Roderick
Patrik Antonius plays Tom Dwan in the $1 Million Challenge
Tom “durrrr” Dwan issued a million dollar challenge back in January to play anybody heads up on Full Tilt Poker, giving his opponent 3-1 odds. Cocky.
Patrick Antonius is the first to take on Dwan (with the likes of Phil Ivey waiting in the wings) at the 4-table heads-up challenge, and after starting the match in mid-February, it is now almost 25% complete.
The challenge is to play Tom Dwan heads-up on 4 tables simultaneously, until a total of 50,000 hands have been dealt. The game? Pot-Limit Omaha at $200/$400 stakes, played online at Full Tilt. Whoever is up at the end wins the cash.
At end of play today (after 12,000 hands), Patrik was up $80,000.

Brad Garrett Holds On for Win - Dammit!
In the first round of the 2009 NBC Heads-Up Championship, Garrett was up against experienced veteran Annie Duke. Apparently, despite being a talented comedian, Brad was so annoying that everyone was routing for Annie to wipe the smile off his face.
Sadly that wasn’t the case, so we’ll have to put up with Ray’s little brother again in round 2.
