This summer is apparently all about the Power Rangers.

FakeGusHansen is in Seat 9 and congratulated Jason Mercier for winning his 2nd bracelet in the $5,000 PL Omaha Six-Max Event yesterday:

@FakeGusHansen Congrats to Jason Mercier on winning his 2nd bracelet in the $5k PLO

@FakeGusHansen It was a tough event in which he had to defeat some of the best male players in the world including Durrrr, Peter Jetten and Vanessa Selbst

I know some of you may be a little upset by his seemingly insensitive comment, but Tom Dwan is indeed a guy.

*****

The Anonymous Poker Media chimed in for the first time today from Seat 8.

AnonPokerMedia “I’ve done a lot of things I’m ashamed of in my life. Most of them have been women.”

Women are the rake after all.

Speaking of Rounders, Amy Calistri is in Seat 7 has an interesting hypothesis:

amy_calistri I’m beginning to form a market thesis: Everything can be explained by using a scene from Casablanca, Bull Durham or Rounders.

Do me a favor then. Explain Lady Gaga by using one of those three movies. Let me grab some popcorn. This should be interesting.

Josh Robert Thompson reminds us from Seat 6 what this summer is about:

joshrthompson This summer is about 3 things: giant fighting robots, cowpoke aliens and talking monkeys.

So you’re saying this summer is about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

Alex Blagg is in Seat 5 and is a bit sheltered. He has a question for those of us that went to public school:

alexblagg I went to a Christian school. Is it true Satan can see up from inside every toilet in the world and hatefully watch us poop?

I would say no. There haven’t been any Howard Lederer sightings so far this summer.

Allen Kessler is in Seat 4 and thinks someone is encroaching on his gig:

AllenKessler RT @Tom_Dwan In the $$ in 10k horse, goin for 2min cashes in a row. ** I thought that was my specialty…

First Dwan learned to play like his idols, then he learned to play like himself, and then he learned to play like Allen Kessler.

BetFair Poker is in Seat 3 and has been disappointed by his son:

Betfairpoker Turns out my “son” isn’t mine after all. He’s only here for the free buffet. I should have guessed. He is clearly in his sixties.

Actually, he has been taking tips from Allen Kessler on reduced and free buffets for locals.

Pokergob is in Seat 2 and tells us about a new study by Budweiser:

pokergob Budweiser to prove that beer pong has same amount of skill as poker or more

There is less variance in beer pong.

Finally, Eskimo Clark makes his first WSOT final table in Seat 1. He is looking for a stake into the Main Event:

At least you don’t have to worry about what’s “under the hood” on this one.

Come back tomorrow when we learn where the bathrooms are on the Starship Enterprise.
