TOC Change
The Tournament of Champions has been pushed up a day to July 3rd.  With 17 players remaining tournament staff realized they may need to push up the TOC and add an extra day.  Right now its set at 7pm on July 3rd unless a player is at the $25k 6-max final table or still in the Ante Up For Africa charity event then in that case it will be pushed to 9am on Sunday July 4th.  They will be playing down to a winner on the 4th regardless of play on the 3rd.  That really puts a damper on 4th of July party plans!

8-game Final Table

We are finally down to 8 players in the 8-game mixed event.  It is currently 11pm here in Vegas and we will be playing to a winner.  In a limit game with a full table we may have a winner by lunch time tomorrow, if we’re lucky or they’re lucky or if someone just gets lucky.  These are your remaining 8 – Steve Sung, Alexander Wise, Nikolai Yakovenko, Sigurd Eskeland, Stephen Su, Scott Seiver, Jared Jaffee, and Kirill Rabtsov. Scott Seiver and Steve Sung are the only players at the table with a WSOP bracelet.

Lost Vegas

Dr. Pauly McGuire, long time poker writer and author of the Tao of Poker website, finally released his tell-most book Lost Vegas.  When a book has a warning stating that names and situations have been changed to protect the innocent, you know it must be good!

Poker, cocaine, and strippers....I'm sold!

This is a taste of what you will read and more in the 249 page romp through the dark side of Vegas. www.taoofpoker.com

“Lost Vegas: The Redneck Riviera, Existentialist Conversations with Strippers, and the World Series of Poker… Las Vegas lures you to shed moral responsibility and piss away your money on indulgences like decadent food, entertainment, gambling, and sex. If you don’t enjoy these pastimes, then what’s the point of visiting the land of compromised values? Where else can you get a cheap steak, crash a Mexican wedding, get cold-decked in blackjack by a dealer named Dong, play video poker for thirteen straight hours, drink piña coladasout of a plastic coconut, bum a cigarette from an 85-year-old woman with an oxygen tank, speed away to the Spearmint Rhino in a free limo, get rubbed by a former Miss Teen USA, puke in the back of a cab driven by a retired Navy SEAL, snort cheap cocaine in the bathroom at O’Sheas, and then catch a lucky card on the river to crack pocket aces and win a poker tournament? Only in Las Vegas.”
