Saturday update WSOP

Event 34 - $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha w/Rebuys has been won by Layne Flack. The bracelet and $577,725 are all his. I know there's plenty to dispute about it being the year of the "big-name" pro, but there are an awful lot of them climbing to the top of the poker pyramid this time around! But this is still a game of the individual and therefore, congratulations Layne! The temptress Clonie Gowen continues to put her name out there for me to see among those who cash out. She finished 34th in the event. She knows I read all these results... Shameless. : ) But now I refuse to acknowledge you unless you're higher in the cashout listing.

Event 35 - $1,500 Seven Card Stud has crowned its winner Mike Rocco, for a cool $135,753. He bested the field of 381 players to take it down. Congratulations.

Event 36 - $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em will resume today at 2:00pm PDT when the final nine come together competing for the first place prize of $610,304.

Event 37 - $10,000 Omaha Hi-Low World Championship will also reconvene today with the remaining 18 of the original 235 fighting it out for the top prize of $535,687. A whopping 7 of the 18 are Full Tilt sponsored, including Mike Matusow, who is currently in 2nd place.

Event 38 - $2,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em enters Day 2 today with 63 of the original 605 players remaining. Pssst although short-stacked Clonie's still in there!

Getting underway today will be Event 39 - $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em and Event 40 - $2,500 2-7 Triple Draw.

Currently Cole and I are doing the bachelor thing while Big Red and Whit are off on their bus trip to New York City. We didn't get to sleep in at all, when I was called to come into work for an application restart, before 8:00am this morning. In other excitement today... laundry (shudder.)

We had our 2nd All-Stars practice last night and the boys look really good. I'm really looking forward to seeing how they perform. Good Luck boys. Our first tournament is scheduled for next weekend down at Tri C.
