We have already broken down the “Fatty’s Five” group, now it is time to breakdown the “Fatty’s All-Stars” in the free fantasy poker game. Don’t think this is useless information. Remember, your Fatty’s players receive double the amount of points that your other 8 players do. If I were you, I’d pay close attention.

The one player that sticks out the most in this group, and not just for his facial features has gotta be Mike “The Nose.” He’s the heart, the soul and the owner of Fatty’s in New York. As the most experienced poker players, next to Old Man Bill ofcourse, he has gotta be a favorite to lead the Fatty’s crew. The “Nose” will be looking to better his 2009 Main Event finish where he cashed out with nearly $33,000. Not bad at all for a week of work.

Kenny “Kendo” is a steady and reliable player who will be at the Main Event after winning a charity poker game earlier this year. The family man says Phil Ivey best fits his style of play. If he takes the ways of winning from Ivey then cashing out at the Main Event is a real possibility.

From what we’ve heard about Carmine, he’s not the guy to pick out of this group. But this will be his second appearance at the Main Event. Maybe 2010 is the year is luck finally turns around and he catches some river cards.

Then there’s Scottie Mayhem. A fairly new poker player compared to the rest of the All-Stars, his competitiveness makes him a safe pick. But one problem, this guys wears a hat with his name on it. C’mon who does that? Just for that, he’s off my fantasy poker team.

Saving the best for last. “Old Man” Bill has been playing poker since FDR was sitting in the White House. That is what you call experience. The 89-year old great grandpa had a distinguished career as a merchant marine chief engineer and business entrepreneur. Now he takes everyone’s money at Fatty’s. If experience and ruthlessness is your key in selecting the All-Star, Old Man Bill is your go to guy.

OUR FATTY’S ALL-STAR PICK: All 5 guys on this list have the possibility of cashing out in the Main Event. But our All-Star selection for the free fantasy poker game is going to the Fatty’s owner, Mike “The Nose.”

Be sure to get your fantasy poker lineups in before July 5^th when the Main Event starts.

The 2010 World Cup is entering the quarterfinals this Friday without the USA team in competition, but there is still plenty to be excited about, especially for the leaders of our World Cup Bracket game.

The matchups alone should have all soccer fanatics amped for the next round of the tournament, as the action begins on July 2nd with battles between Uruguay and Ghana, and Netherlands and Brazil.

The excitement of the tournament ensues on Saturday, July 3rd, as Argentina takes on Germany, and Paraguay prepares to battle top-ranked Spain.

While you can’t do much else other than cheer on your favorite team that is still alive in the FIFA World Cup, there’s still plenty you can do to better your placing in Fantazzle’s World Cup Standings page.

Remember, even if your World Cup Bracket appears destroyed by early exits, you can earn points for referring friends, which will be added to your final point total when the tournament ends on July 11th, 2010. The first place bracket and 50th place bracket at the moment are only separated by 4 points. Take action and start referring friends to put you atop. You can jump up near the top by only referring a few.

Fantasy players can also take precautions in case of a tie, as anyone who plays Fantazzle fantasy sports games can earn FanStock for tie-breaker points. The World Cup Bracket Game may be drawing to a close, but there are still two rounds and a championship game left to help your bracket earn extra points.

Keep in mind that Fantazzle isn’t stopping their summer games and fantasy promotions with the World Cup. Remember to play the FREE Fantasy Poker Challenge, as Fantazzle sponsors Fatty’s Poker in a fresh union of poker and fantasy games!

Fantazzle and Fatty’s Poker are merely a week away from the start of their FREE Fantasy Poker Challenge, giving fantasy players the chance to fill rosters of poker players and have a shot at a free seat in the 2011 World Series of Poker.

However, this new fantasy poker game isn’t just about cards and luck. In fact, if you have the right information and pick the right guys from Fatty’s Poker, you’re likely to have the upper hand, as the two players selected from the Fatty’s pools earn double the points in the fantasy poker game.

To start the week, we’re profiling the first of two Fatty’s groups, the “Fatty’s Five”. Each group consists of five elite Fatty’s players who are available to be picked in their respective pools for the fantasy poker game. The members of the “Fatty’s Five” are Erik the “Luck Box”, “Big Al” Riccobono, Tommy “Jelly”, Chris “Toutie”, and Tommy “Newman”.

The easy pick here would be Al Riccobono, the leader in cash earnings out of this pool, winning around $165,000 live and almost $100,000 online. While the big money might be enticing, all fantasy players need to give hard looks at other aspects of each player’s game.

Experience can’t be ignored in an up-and-down game like poker, and it’s worth noting that Chris “Toutie” is the player in this pool that has played the longest, participating in poker tournaments since 2003. It’s also worth noting that Tommy “Newman” and Erik “Luck Box” are the newbies of the player pool, only participating in poker tournaments since 2005.

Other interesting notes are Erik “Luck Box” being “lucky”, and winning this year’s “Fatty’s Five” contest. “Newman” has cashed out in 4 of the last 5 WSOP events he has played in while “Big Al” Riccobono cashed out in both the 2007 and 2008 Main Event.

If we had to call it, the race is close between “Newman” and “Big Al”, with “Big Al” topping the competition due to his recent success, overall experience, and cash earnings.

To get all the information on the “Fatty’s Five” and the “Fatty’s All Stars”, just visit Fatty’s Poker, and be sure to sign up to play the free fantasy poker game at Fantazzle!

Fantazzle’s free fantasy poker challenge brings the excitement and popularity of fantasy sports games and poker into one. The free fantasy poker challenge revolves around the 2010 WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas which starts July 5th. Our free fantasy game will provide the winner with a $10,000 entry into the 2011 Main Event.

Just like any other fantasy game, the more success your player has at the tournament, the more successful your team will be. Fantazzle has created a unique scoring system for this free fantasy game. Your lineup consists of 10 poker players, two Fatty’s players and 8 other professional poker players. Your Fatty’s poker players earn double the points the rest of your lineup will.

There are two ways your fantasy poker earns cash. The team with the most cash at the end of the tournament will win.

1) Survive to the end of a day during the 13-day tournament. The first five days, you will earn points when your players move onto the next round. Day 1- $5,000, Day 2- $10,000 and so on. Receiving cash for surviving days only lasts until Day 4.

2)  After Day 4 the amount of cash you earn depends on how much money your players get when they cash out
For example,  if your player is eliminated in 50th place and win $135,000 (numbers not accurate, just used for an example), you will receive that amount towards your fantasy poker cash. The further your player advances, the better chance you have at winning the seat at the 2011 Main Event.

Your two Fatty’s players receive double the amount of cash than the other eight on your team. Fantazzle has bios and poker stats listed on the player selection page. Be sure to do your research to earn more cash in the free fantasy poker game.

The fantasy poker game starts July 5th. Not only can you participate in the free fantasy poker game, but Fantazzle is offering cash games for the inner-gambler in you. Play head to head against a friend or play against 4 others for your chance to wins some large cash prizes.
