World Series of Poker Event #5: NLHE 6-Max

Idex doll show in ballroom on your way to World Series area. These are dolls that sell for $2k-15k supposedly.

Phil Ivey is in the LHE Event Day 2 in two hours in good shape, but he's accumulating chips rapidly to start. If he can build a big enough stack, he can get blinded off and survive Day 1 while he's playing the LHE Day 2.

Isabelle's toes. Notice chairs stacked next to her (where her bag is). A bit of a challenge walking around.

After walking around quickly, this is an event that is really intriguing. You can expect some challenging tables immediately if you've bought into this tourney: Mike Caro and Cyndi Violette were all-in early on the river, but both turned over Q-10 for a chopped straight. Dags, The Grinder, and Daniel are at Table 149, Ferguson and Kathy Liebert are together, Amir Vahedi's already gone from Freddy Deeb's table, Matusow and Barry Greenstein. The other challenge is players that don't show up are at big risk. From a CardPlayer update, they tell of one table with only two folks at the table. They were quickly flipping coins to see who would steal the blinds (ouch). I wish you 6-maxer's could be here to take this one in, as I think it will be a pretty special event.

I'll have some new news probably Monday or Tuesday. It is incredible in my opinion, and I'll have more about it later. For now, I'm off to MGM to see some bloggers. Thanks for stopping by, and I'll be back later.
