And this is gonna be the title–Bitches!! Hittin’ Dem Quads At Video Poker. Here’s what chapter 4 looks like: That was a tidy little score, about $125. Which got me revved up after a rough start to the day. I had the day off and rode into the Rio with Dan around 1pm. As I…

After a month of grinding it out the last couple of days have been pieces of light, fluffy cake. The final table of the Seniors event lasted just 4 1/2 hours; yesterday’s Limit Hold-Em final table was finished after 5. Compare that to the H.O.R.S.E. final table that poor Pauly and B.J. covered yesterday, which…

Yesterday I covered the final table of the Seniors Event, which only took 5 hours and ended with the last two players making a deal. Apparently the chip leader gave the other guy $65K and he got the title and the bracelet. That’s a pricey bit of bling. So I got out early, but not…

It’s been a rough couple of days. I haven’t been able to shake the cold I caught last week. I don’t feel that bad but it’s definitely sapped my energy. Late at night I really start to fade…like last night, when JoeSpeaker and Drizz and Otis and Spaceman decided to run to the Gold Coast…

Yes, I haven’t been posting during my time in Vegas, bad dog! Just haven’t had the chance. Covered the $5K Omaha Hi-Lo final table yesterday, which was fun, even if it was Omaha Hi-Lo. Not a televised event but still fun to be on the set. But the big news is that Pauly cashed in…

This would’ve been a good event for me to play–low buy-in, smaller field because it’s on a Thursday,…

Because I’ve been a good boy I decided to treat myself. A lot of professional poker players (and professional poker writers) have these so-cool Bose noise-canceling headphones. I tried Garry’s the other day and, oh my God. The blessed sound of silence. It’s amazing. You can still hear people talking, but the exhausting background noise…

I thought yesterday would be an easy day. I thought wrong. So far I’ve felt almost bulletproof but Wednesday was a left hook I didn’t see coming. We’re trying to process a vast amount of information in a brief period of time and it was one of those days where it felt like someone was…

So yesterday I was assigned to cover my first WSOP Final Table, the $5,000 Limit Hold-Em World Championship. Big event. 5K. World Championship. I was looking forward to sitting in ESPN’s Final Table arena with all the bright lights and cameras. Dressed up nice, just in case one of those cameras happened to linger over…
