A Brit in Vegas » Men Nguyen http://www.pokergossip.com Just another WordPress weblog Sun, 20 Mar 2011 01:46:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 en hourly 1 End of Day 3: No ladies: no seats http://www.pokergossip.com/2009/08/end-of-day-3-no-ladies-no-euros/ http://www.pokergossip.com/2009/08/end-of-day-3-no-ladies-no-euros/#comments Tue, 25 Aug 2009 07:02:51 +0000 Steve http://www.pokergossip.com/?p=1231 Today was a sad day.Any hope of Vanna Tea turning her satellite entry into a mini cash were dashed as she was the first player of the day eliminated. Pretty Thoyan Doan started the day in third place but had a few bad levels at a tough table and left without visiting the payout cage.Scotty Nguyen was eliminated by two players with pocket aces. His Viet cousin Men saw his wife eliminated early but he failed to bring home the money as he bubbled leaving perennial bubble boy Stan Jablonski once again leaving with money.I left with Bryan Devonshire taking care of a monster stack and believing he had a date with a WPT make up artist on Wednesday. I was shocked to see that, in the added level(originally play would finish at 27),Devo had cashed out for a mere $18k, mainly, after flopping a lower flush than Todd Terry.

So what do we have to look forward to? Prahlad Friedman can be entertaining and the WPT will be pleased to have the possibility of the new world champion, captured on tape, in the form of Kevin Schaffel or Steven Bedwetter.

Just over 100, including many ladies, entered the LHE tournament. 53 returned from 263 entries in the  $300 NLHE tournie. This included Men the Master who was eliminated in 11th place without any “hate towards the dealer”. He gave out some marriage advice . ” Marry a woman who can cook, not for her looks, as you can always turn the light off.’ His second wife ,Van ,is beautiful but apparently isn’t much use in the kitchen. Men has bought a house in Downey so the children can go to a better school or maybe they disliked menudo for lunch in Bell Garden.

The tournament results are :
1) Hosni Boudargram $30k + seat.
2) Tong Le
3) Adam Weinraub
4) Daniel Auzemme
5) Russell Higa
6) Souren Ohanian
7) Mark Roguel
8) Mark Bryan
9) Ronen Danan $1415

BIOGRAPHY by Matt

Hoshi Bardargham has been playing for twelve years and has come to prefer no limit hold’em over other games and tournaments over cash games.  His chip count put him in the middle of the field and Hoshi’s strategy coming into the final table was to wait while the players picked each other off.  He said that after his first all-in with his pocket J’s holding up against Jay Fishman’s A-10 that all following decisions were fairly easy with him either calling all-in or pushing all-in with the best hand. men-ronen-danan1
