2012 WSOP: DAY 22 RECAP - SHULMAN SHOWS THE BOYS HOW IT'S DONE

EVENT #29 |
1K NLH SENIORS CHAMPIONSHIP |
4,128 ENTRIES | 3.71M PRIZEPOOL

A record-breaking 4,128 players aged 50 and older invaded the Rio on Saturday, making it the biggest single Day 1 event ever, IN THE WORLD! Great job to our Seniors representing!

Our final table was focused on two familiar faces as former WSOP November Niner Dennis Phillips (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-319th) and two-time WSOP bracelet winner / two-time WPT Champion Hoyt Corkins (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-581th) were hoping to scoop their first Seniors title.

But Allyn Jaffrey Shulman (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-154th) would pull a fast one on the duo. After husband Barry and son Jeff both final tabled earlier this Series, Shulman did one better, defeating Phillips heads-up and winning the Seniors title, picking up her first WSOP bracelet!

Allyn is now one behind Barry but has the upper hand on Jeff, who was himself a November Niner a few years when Joe Cada won the Main Event and Phil Ivey final tabled.

We're in London, Vegas, Vancouver, Minnesota and Indiana in this edition of the Round-Up!

EPT LONDON NLH 6-MAX HIGH ROLLER TURBO
Final results are continuing to trickle in from London ... A blast from the recent pas as Thomas Wahlroos picks up the victory in what could be the longest titled event on tour ... the EPT London No Limit Holdem Six-Max High Rollers Turbo event ... got your breath back? Good.

Wahlroos defeated French/Amercian pro Vanessa Rousso heads up. ElkY picked up his sixth PTPR Score of the year with his fifth place finish. ElkY's 18 point score earns him second spot overall on the 2011 PTPR Poker Tournament Player of the Year Leaderboard, surpassing November Niner Ben Lamb.

Sixth place finisher Roberto Romanello continues his solid play this season. His fifth score puts him right back into the Player of the Year race - re-entering the Top 15, a few points ahead of PCA winner Galen Hall. Ninth place finisher Sean Getzwiller earns his fifth score of 2011.

FESTA AL LAGO CLASSIC
The 2011 Festa isn't part of the WPT tour schedule this season but, that didn't stop 228 runners to put up 5K and take a run at the title, and a grab a piece of the +1M prizepool.

Justin Young took the big prize, winning the event. Michael Katz, Thomas McCormick, Christopher DeMaci and Justin Filtz are earn, like Young, their second PTPR Scores of the season. John Krpan finished third in the event.

FALL POKER CLASSIC CHAMPIONSHIP
Jared Hubbard picked up his first title of the 2011 season, and earns over 77K in the process. Hubbard, the Minnesota native, collected the win at the Fall Poker Classic at Canterbury Park in Minnesota. Hubbard defeated Brandon Beery heads up.

WEST COAST POKER CHAMPIONSHIP
Earlier this month, Afshin Majidi won the West Coast Poker Championship at Edgewater Casino in Vancouver. 2010 November Niner Matt Jarvis finished third in the event, earning his second PTPR Score of the season.

WSOP CIRCUIT HORSESHOE INDIANA SIDE EVENT
Talk about a whirlwind week for former November Niner Dennis Phillips. Phillips was knocked out of the WSOP Europe Championship earlier in the week, then, he got on a plane and made his way to America. Hours after landing, Phillips was right back at it at a WSOP Circuit Horseshoe Indiana NLH side event. Well, Phillips won the event! From Cannes to Indiana to cash a 55K paycheck? Not bad Dennis!

2009 WSOPC New Orleans winner Jean Gaspard finished fifth in the event. Note: This event does not qualify for PTPR Points.

PTS AT STAKE: HEARTLAND POKER TOUR HITS TURNING STONE

PHOTO/SOURCE: HPTPOKER.com

After a successful Pro-Am event at the Epic Poker League series at the Palms last week, the Heartland Poker Tour is in Verona (outside Syracuse), New York for it's latest tour stop.

A total of 443 runners all put up $1,650 on Saturday in order to try and grab a piece of the Heartland.

We had some big names in poker attend the event including: Kevmath, Lacey Jones, Dennis Phillips, Bernard Lee, Darvin Moon, Todd Terry, Bryan Piccioli and Ari Engel.

The plan is to play down to the final table tonight but, after seeing a Dennis Phillips tweet, there still seems to be 74 players remaining - they have yet to even hit the money! - could end up being a very long night at the Turning Stone!

Here is Phillips' (@Dennis_Phillips) tweet:

Lost huge pot end of level 16...down to 130k now! 74 players remain, paying 60

We've already lost two name players in Josh Brikis and legend T.J. Cloutier.
