WPT Championship Begins

Toho once made a movie called "Destroy All Monsters". It involved a battle royal between Godzilla, Ghidorah, Rodan, Mothra, and a whole host of second string monsters who all got together somewhere around Tokyo for the singular purpose of beating the hell out of each other. Something like this is going on at the Bellagio this week, but we like to call it the World Poker Tour Championship. Any event that involves Mike Matusow and Phil Hellmuth could be a considered a fight between monsters, but add the softening, yet skillful presences of Erica Schoenberg and Vanessa Rousso and you have something that looks nothing like the slugfest between Godzilla and a bunch of other men dressed as rubbery beasts.
