The Legends is on hold for the day as the annual Buss/Mariani was held in the event center tonight. Scott Diamond informed me that this used to be a big deal with top poker pros mingling with Laker players and Hollywood celebs. No more. The closest I was to a greatness was Thor Hansen who is a living legend in Norway.At least to aspiring poker players.Even Frank didn’t attend.
Those who made up the 70 player field included : Alex Maser, Soheil Shamseddin, Eric Herschler and Chainsaw Kessler.
When I arrived the food had gone and so had the Laker cheerleaders. Much as I love chocolate strawberries the food tonight would be no match for the Hillel foundation tournie.
It didn’t take long for me to photograph Allen Kessler in a discussion with the floor.Eric Herschler looks like he wants a seat change.
The final seven were:
Dana Kellstrom
Mike Shelton
Bobby Suer
Denny Robinson
Joe Serocil
Jon Persekian
Jerry Plager
