Tea storms towards cup in San Jose

March 9th, 2010

Vanna Tea reluctantly left Signal Hill last week to relocate to N.California. Well she reluctantly left behind the WOTG at the Bike. Not sure if she even unpacked before heading off to Bay101 where she is Chip leader after Day1a.That alone is worth $10k.
Pretty shocked that the results are in for the 7pm WOTG tournie.618 [...]

With almost 500 on Friday and just shy of 600 on Saturday the Bikes $200 buy in $150k guarantee was a success. Very few names around but Mickey Mills was the Day1 chip leader and Sam Simon Day1b. Simon is on a roll at the moment winning $4ok in a $1500 tournament last month at [...]

Heads Up from Santa Anita + Caesars

March 7th, 2010

What a great value a day at the races is. My $2 admission voucher today included a Santa Anita wall clock, a $10 slot voucher for San Manual, two free tickets for tomorrow and $2 admission for Derby Day. To top that off the racing today was unusually competitive. I didn’t have money to bet [...]

A first time runner ridden by his exercise girl won in nice style in the last at Santa Anita today. Dubai You xyz was given an excellent ride by young Charleen Hunt and paid $106.80 for the win and $30.60 for the place. I was one of many hoping to hear that the win triggered [...]

I picked six to photograph in the $100 HORSE tournie at the Bike. A big field of [...]

The Commerce was very quiet today. Greg Mueller has returned from Canada, with a cold. It is only a brief stopover as he is due in Vegas  to play in the Heads Up at Caesars. Mike Matusow and JR Bellande are downstairs. Upstairs a paid audience was filling the seats in the ballroom as they [...]

Two days of lights camera action…

March 3rd, 2010

Don’t feel bad for the final six at the Party owned WPT.They have a day off tomorrow. No rest for the media crew though. Maybe too much rest for the Invitational finalists. Thor Hansen may have to win this to cover his losses of the last  ten days. I ave no idea if the Las [...]

WPT event on schedule

March 2nd, 2010

As the Bike “Winnin of the Green” commences with $225 buy in $100k guarantee (which they made) the WPT cruised along passing its target of 27 players without threatening to ruin anyones dinner plans. Both my selections Chris Moore and Brett Richey bit the dust today.I officially give up trying to predict the winner.
Vanna Tea [...]
