Larry Greenberg joins the WPT Champions Club; Gilmartin snags film role

Larry Greenberg wins the World Poker Tour Elite Poker Championship at The Bellagio, and Lynn Gilmartin stars in an upcoming movie playing a wild Irish woman called Dot.

The World Poker Tour Elite Poker Championship needs to find a new square in the live tournament calendar or remove the word ‘Elite’ from the title after only 126 entrants ponied up the $10,400 entry fee in the inaugural event.

With PokerStars driving the European Poker Tour (EPT) around the racetrack in Monte Carlo, and partypoker moving like a madman in Montreal, it was asking a bit too much of the men and women with $10k to flick into a tournament to stay behind, even with a $25k High Roller all red and cherry like.

Alas, when you reach the finishing line first, you don’t care how many people entered. You won, simple as that. A WPT Champions Club berth is yours for life. A legacy encrusted in the Hendon Mob algorithms.
