RE: Mekhi Pheifer in Final 25 at WPT Invitational

Funny, for all the poker entertainment on TV tonight, I probably won\’t make it over to Fox Sports to see the latest Season 7 episode of the WPT. However, I can\’t help but find myself following their celebrity invitational on the internet. Don\’t really know what that means … maybe just that I definitely want some WPT action, but I\’m just as happy following chip counts and hand updates at my leisure while I flip between WSOP Europe, High Stakes Poker, and maybe even a little Annie Duke meets Donald.

Seriously, looks to be an interesting final sprawl shaping up with 13 players remaining (Steve Sung and Paul Darden just went out). I bet the vibe inside the Commerce is pretty electric. This, frankly, is poker I\’d probably want to watch on TV right now:
