John Phan is obviously better at drinking and playing than Jared Hamby as John enters Day2 as one of the chip leaders whereas Jared has the choice of playing the $500 or washing his green cap. Overnight counts for the $1500:

Saturday, February 14th, 2009The rain is back, so is the green viper.
Saturday, February 14th, 2009A big holiday weekend with Valentines Day and Presidents Day. A three storm warning for L.A. though which could be good news for Matt Savage and his LAPC. I am hoping Sara Chau wins tomorrows $550 event and lifts the trophy that weighs as much as she does!

Rainy days on Monday…
Tuesday, February 10th, 2009It is just seven days away from the most needed gift from Santa Anita to its patrons…an umbrella. Inside the $2k NLHE attracted some names to the upstairs tournament room.
