On Friday, March 30, 2007, all eyes in the poker world will face east<br>towards the Mecca of all casinos, Foxwoods. The largest casino around,<br>Foxwoods boasts six casinos, 7,000 slot machines, and one of the biggest and<br>best venues for poker anywhere in the world. PocketFivesLive.com Tournament<br>Reporter Court Harrington will be on hand to cover all the action from the<br>World Poker Tour&#39;s Foxwoods Poker Classic. You can either wait to see your<br>favorite live and online poker stars until August 1st when the tournament<br>airs on The Travel Channel or follow poker&#39;s best and brightest on<br>PocketFivesLive.com. Last year&#39;s Foxwoods Poker Classic was won by poker pro<br>Victor Ramdin, who defeated Alex Jacob heads up for $1.3 million. Jacob<br>walked away with over a half million. Others at the final table included<br>Edward Jordan, Larry Klur, John Russell, and Bruce Kater. &quot;Foxwoods is a<br>great tournament,&quot; says Harrington. &quot;The casino has a large poker room and<br>is known for running satellites year round. Jon &quot;pokertrip&quot; Friedberg and<br>Devin &quot;TranquilChaos&quot; Porter are among many tournament regulars that will be<br>playing at Foxwoods, but the many satellites to the $10,000 buy in event<br>that the Casino runs year round will also be giving many players that are<br>not regulars at the major tournaments an opportunity to play in a WPT<br> event.&quot; In the World Poker Open, PocketFiver Mike &quot;swiper_fox&quot; Perry made a<br>final table run and finished sixth for over $200,000. Pete &quot;TheBeat&quot;<br>Giordano and Friedberg cashed in the event as well. One PocketFiver who has<br>dominated the halls of Foxwoods is Giordano, who, in the World Poker Open,<br>cashed for his fourth consecutive time in a WPT event at the casino.<br>Harrington comments on Giordano&#39;s run at Foxwoods: &quot;Pete &quot;TheBeat&quot; Giordano<br>has an impressive run of in the money finishes at Foxwoods going back four<br>years and is expected to be a major contender again this year.&quot; Giordano<br>received a large amount of television time on ESPN for his play against The<br>Simpsons star Hank Azaria, whom he busted from the 2006 Main Event. Joe<br>Sebok, who just appeared on the PocketFives.com Podcast one week after his<br>father, Barry Greenstein, appeared on the show, will also be at the event at<br>Foxwoods. Harrington&#39;s views on Sebok&#39;s WPT success: &quot;He has been on a tear<br>lately, building massive chip stacks and going deep in tournaments. After<br>being the chip leader at the L.A. Poker Classic and losing a huge pot to<br>eventual second place finisher JC Tran, Sebok came back with a seventh place<br>finish in the Bay101 Shooting Stars event in San Jose. Sebok has been one of<br>the hottest tournament players over the last year, and he continues to put<br>up impressive results&quot;
