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 came to say goodbye although she was very tempted to play at the Bike tonight.

The new WPT interviewer Jacque gets a thumbs up from me.Very down to earth , a la Kristy Arnett, was first to work today and doesn’t seem about to throw a diva fit anytime soon.

Chip counts:

Carlos Mortensen 1.6m
Mark Newhouse 1.3m
Ray Dolan 1.2m
Masa Kagawa 1.1m
Andras Koroknai 1m
Tri Huynh 942k

It’s reigning women at the Partypoker WPT

With Santa Anita’s all weather track once again failing to handle the rain my attention was fully focused on solving the puzzle of who will be in front of the T.V. cameras next Thursday.

Two former WSOP ladies champions share a table tomorrow (day 3) .Jennifer Tilly 05 champion faces the current champ Lisa Hamilton.

Lisa Hamilton is a little unfortunate that her victory in last years WSOP ladies event wasn’t on television. She is very beautiful with her long hair and would have put the rest in the rear view mirror in any “Hottest woman in poker” debate. At least nobody knows how she plays. We are still in with a chance of an all woman final table. Dee Luong Friedman,Hien Nguyen, Sue Jung,Lauren Kling,Annie Duke, Erica Schoenberg,Jolyne Thompson,Jennifer Tilly, Christina LindleyMari Lou Morelli,JJ Liu,Anh Van Nguyen and Vanessa Rousso are all on my list. It seems like the WPT are adding women as the tournament progresses. The first five all start at the same table tomorrow.

Mickey Mills informed me he eliminated both Chris Ferguson and Phil Hellmuth in the first level today. He gave back a few of those chips to end the day on 45k.

My namesake S.Hall is still alive with just 33k. My other selection Shan Jen was there until the fourth level today.I will replace him with Get Crunk Brett Richey a friend of Micon’s.

Top Five starting Day 3:

1) Taylor Paur 318k
2) Daniel Negreanu 316k
3) Eugene Katchalov 279k
4) Michael Woo 250k
5) Vanessa Rousso 222k

Search for the last woman standing starts here

If I was a player agent, which seems to consist of booking massages for Dan Shak and bringing coffee for Clonie + Shannon, I would be keeping a very close watch on the remaining female players today and tomorrow. The Lacey/Tiffany/Maria house must have been vacated with the latter two not playing the ME and Lacey falling at the first fence so to speak.Maybe they are making way for their friend Christina Lindley.

That Maria Ho does not play the main event is a story in itself. She loves the attention which she will not get at the Bike, at least, not until the ME. Maybe she is tagging along with Tiffany on some “Survivor” type programme. I don’t have the answer and her facebook has gone awfully quiet.

Jennifer Tilly bust out today and entered the Bellagio tournie as did Alan Smurfit. Laurie Hilton would be an interesting story. Ex college soccer star, financially independent but as she already has a sponsorship deal not really interesting to the agents. Kara Scott doesn’t seemed to be logoed up.Already well known from her strong ME last year she is beautiful and articulate. Van Nguyen does not seem to be signed by anyone. A lovely women if you are able to deal with her husband Men she could be the one. Pam Brunson , daughter of Doyle has once again outlasted both her father and brother Todd in the ME.

Other possibles include wealthy Heather Mercier, very beautiful and Melanie Banfield from South Africa who has been here for the duration and has a cash to her name. Lauren Kling a lively post grad would be certain of lots of attention.
