Monday, May 31st, 2010WSOP not a threat to the Bike!
Monday, May 31st, 2010I just returned from an enjoyable afternoon at the Bike. The reason for my visit was to observe the FT of the ME. The buy in was $225 with a $75k guarantee. Underlay,underlay. The prize pool reached $140844.

Men “the Buddist” Master wins my vote
Wednesday, May 26th, 2010Voting is underway for the WSOP tournament of champions. I have seen most poker players at work and play and have decided to vote for Men Nguyen.Men finds it hard to lose his reputation and doesn’t receive the publicity his talent deserves.

Bike grabs the yellow jersey
Monday, May 24th, 2010The Bike deepstack is underway. Event 1 was a $100 NLHE with a $50k guarantee. They attracted 1304 players over the two day ones.I believe the Saturday leg was a real marathon which is why a ten way deal was agreed upon without a hand being played.
The ten were,I believe, Calvin Chan, Le Hoa, Dino [...]

Reno reporting by Michele Lawson
Tuesday, May 11th, 2010I was invited to play the Jennifer Harman tournament in Reno this past weekend. I had played well in her NSPCA event at the Venetian so it was exciting to play in another charity event.

A limo was waiting at [...]
