2011 World Series of Twitter Day 16 – CSI, Elix Powers, and Norman Chad
In honor of the $2.500 NL Hold’em Six Max at the 2011 WSOP, today’s World Series of Twitter final table will be six handed.

Norman Chad is in the top 10 in chips in the Stud 8 Event at the 2011 WSOP. Seriously!
Scott Diamond I think just confessed to something:
DeputySD Gotta love technology at times. Oh saved crime scene pictures too!
Next time on CSI: WSOP Edition.
*****
Daniel Negreanu makes a return to the final table and apparently had a problem getting into a bar:
RealKidPoker When did plain white shirts become so gansta? I wasn’t allowed into a bar last night because I had a plain whitey on. Made me buy a shirt!
No Daniel, that shirt didn’t make you look gangsta. (Insert appropriate joke here.)
*****
Don points out a sad truth about downtown life in Las Vegas.
Bricklv The people that comprise downtown Las Vegas could easily be on a billboard somewhere that reads “Life kicked my ass”
I once saw Elix Powers walking around downtown. It wasn’t until the poker tournament started that I figured out that he hadn’t gone homeless again. (I wish I made that up as a joke….)
*****
Sammy the Dentist makes his first final table of the summer. He praises Jess Welman’s WSOP By the Numbers daily feature. Well….sorta:
SammyTheDentist @jesswelman your article has more numbers than @BrokeLivingJRB ‘s bankroll. Baa-zing!
It is called WSOP By the Numbers … not WSOP divided by 0.
*****
Yes, Norman Chad is at a lot of these final tables. However, this time it is actually poker related. No, seriously.
NormanChad Scotty: I bet it for you in case you make something, baby (as he bets river). Me: Raise. Scotty: Uh oh.
Norman is actually in contention in the Stud 8 or Better Event. No, seriously. He is!
*****
Justin Smith apparently made a “balla play” in Stud 8. He either had a helluva board or i want to play his opponents sometime:
@BoostedJ Few things in life are better than making insane bonzai river plays in 4way stud8 pots and making old men in a fishing vest/hats jumping
@BoostedJ up in their chairs exclaiming “HOLYYYY SMOKESSS!!” When they see I eliminated them out to take half of a monster pot #priceless #boostmode
Holy Smokes Batman! He just went into Boost Mode!

That’s all for today folks. Come back tomorrow when we find out how to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow.
