Thought I might have an easy table at last week’s WSOP Limit Shootout playing Jeff Madsen until Phil Hellmuth sat down next to me… read about it on Full Tilt. It’s a Happy July Fourth on the WSOP floor. Probably because it’s mostly vacant, although, there’s a crowd at the ESPN Tournament of Champions [...]
Random WSOP Congratulations Shannon Shorr

I might ask Jeffrey Pollack if he will have In-N-Out Burger cater the final tables. Since they had Krispy Kremes (for sale) last year, I might ask for hot Krispy Kremes this year. Pollack will be [...]
