After the previous day, we got a thick hair and went down to breakfast of champions, or rather … the future champions of racing these cars for obese and retirees breakfast if we continue like elephants.
By the way took a week and peak breakfast here and even I had not realized that the waffles in the shape of card suits (one is over pancakes). Cuatricolores would fill in honor of the internet grind, but there was blueberry jam and of course my hair looked like a heavy use wasabi with the clubs.
Well, that day was not too much history. We spent most of the day in the press room of the Rio working on different things on the computer, occasionally giving a tour to see people on satellites in the Pavilion, the Limit shootout and especially the 25k 6 max.
Maybe I’m wasting away when I say that the day was not too much history when you can see up close a round of something as technical as 6 max with a field in which they are incredible, to name at random, Ivey, Elky, or Mortensen Each (these two days has been playing very well), accumulating sufficient chips to some of their already famous structures. I have to ask if it annoys you change table, because only removing them should be a good time.
By mid-afternoon I decided to turn off the computer and go see the Palms. The hotel of the Maloof brothers (owners of the Sacramento Kings also) is quite famous and is across the street, but he had never seen the inside.
Along the way we see the announcement at a bus stop.
“They’re going to jug? We pay your deposit before you go to the slammer. “
A little note says “We speak Spanish.” Just have to write down the number to hold the World Cup. To some you will need.
The Palms looks good, not too tacky despite its island theme. During the WSOP poker has good environment to be the hotel where the troops are staying PokerStars, but the poker room is empty, with only a couple of tables of 1 / 3 NL. Manuel Cuberos I meet who tells me they are planning to organize a racing kart tracks found nearby.
I decide to have dinner at a Chinese restaurant (good choice because then we walked down the aisle with the gorgeous Shannon Elizabeth) and go to bed early to try to wake up as if he still had jet lag next day to go to several places before the time eating.
Early in the morning, we went to deliver some copies of the new book in Spanish Negreanu Cardoza offices, the American editor.
To my surprise, it would be my next stop, the mythical “Gamblers Bookshop, the library in the years that you can find anything that has been published about the game, has moved along and kill two birds Cardoza a taxi.
On the ground floor is the library, and the first floor the editorial. Robert Casagrande He handed the box of books, and I’m two copies, one for me and one to give to Negreanu that afternoon. I mention that I am working on translating the Super System II and we started talking about the catalog of Cardoza and what in his opinion his best titles. This editorial has been a pioneer in the literature of poker, his catalog is extensive and has for example all the books in my “idol” Mike Caro.
When I want to account not fit me in your arms the books I recommended and I will be giving directly to the shelves. I’m teetering with arms when we arrived at the new biography of Doyle. He asked me if I read it and I answer:
“Of course, but the truth is that to be a book that Doyle has said he did not want to be published until after his death, I felt there was just dirt or rough situations.”
That this is between us (I will deny before a jury) but it seems that it may be preparing another version of Doyle’s bio, this version will not see the light until the “godfather of poker” and could let us call “Things that now that I’m dead and I can tell.” I’d say I can not wait, if it were not for the part that touches Texas Dolly.
For example, (and in my opinion) in the book is a chapter in which the mobster Tony Spilotro, overlooking Las Vegas and gave birth to Joe Pesci in the movie ‘Casino’-Doyle has urged him and Chip Reese pay 20% of their profits if they want to continue playing in Las Vegas. The way to get rid of the issue seemed too simple. There had to pass something that does not count.
Finally, among the books that gives me Casagrande and one I bought so many I decide to send mail directly to Spain. As we meet the two events at once, I decide to go shopping at the outlets.
In Spain I avoid always talking to taxi drivers, but here the opposite. Gives me the opportunity to practice my English and I often give good information about Las Vegas. This one tells me that this weekend is a great fight of MMA (mixed martial arts) and that just a couple of blocks to the right of where we are, right from the airport, is the home of Wayne Newton, entertainer of all life of Las Vegas, and Mike Tyson.
It seems that his wife works in the real estate was selling, and Mike paid the three million who took the cash home. They spent hours counting bills (the largest is $ 100 here) but the funny thing is that although the money was for Tyson, the house is the name of Don King (I wonder if it’s the same as in the movie comes out in the Armando and his colleagues farewell steal a tiger) … “! Carlos not on the table!” … jojo! … you bastards!
On purchases, just say that, while worthwhile, were hell.
Back in Rio, we found the room fully operational Everest (on this website you can see a live streaming of what’s happening in the Everest Room.) The last to reach Spanish are missing making an appearance as it nears the Main Event.
The room for half an hour passed Leo, Flake, The Train, Jose Luis Cordero, Rabbit, Cesar, and Manuel Labandeira Mendi.
Another time, “what are the odds of that?” When just as I commented that I bought the biography of Devilfish and we are talking about the spectacle of his biography, enters the room with their anillazos and ask me who is in charge of the room. A crack the Devilfish, but impossible to understand his accent cockney despite having spent years in England.
Shortly after the break of the tournament was 6-max 25k. We take to get closer to giving Negreanu your copy of his book in Spanish and ask you to sign mine. I walk in the room but do not see it anywhere. I ask who is on my left if Negreanu is still in the tournament (he had nearly a million in chips, can not be out) and turns out to be the team Pro Marcel Luske looking at me strangely.
At that time a player moves a endocrine problem over the mountain and let me see that Daniel was two steps away from me. By the way I started talking to Luske, which turned out to be quite nice and told me that it has developed a new form of poker you are trying to sell to the casinos, I have curiosity to see what it is.
Returning to the autograph of ‘Kid Poker’, personally I find bullshit but being a first edition is always interesting that the author’s firm. Of course that stretches less that the porter of a football, “To Paco” and a squiggle that makes you want to tell me $ 1,000 to play it does the same again. In his defense it must be admitted that each brea
k has someone giving the sheet. After signing my book even had to sign a couple of magazines.
Shortly before the tournament began PLO $ 10,000. Spanish Three participating Vidal, Jr. Another Maceiras Terraces and spectacular event full of figures. No longer the event, “Championship” mode of the PLO.
The table Vidal is spectacular. In addition to Jennifer Harman, to his left is the empty chair Phil Hellmuth, who has not yet been submitted, Erick Lindgren and an empty chair that suddenly takes Chiau Giang, who was playing the Limit event. The Asian player, who like Harman should not raise soil 1.50, is one of the biggest winners of all time in Bobby’s Room. So that your trust in appearances at the tables.
Indeed, while Vidal was a labor began and Erika Schoenberg break came for her boyfriend Eric Lindgren. I look right and is on my side. This woman photos do not do it justice. David Benyamine would say the fish is a miss, but the French also had a rail along Pivones in your game.
By the way just before starting the next level Vidal break the table, and the game is about to start though many players still are having dinner.
We take an empty chair at the table of Jennifer Harman and Thomas Kremser (hard to recognize without a suit and standing without resolving the browns of the tournament) to make the spontaneous Krusty. The face of the dealer and Harman at the beginning was priceless, worth not having caught on a photo.
The level of play between the Omaha and 6 max is great, but nearly three hours of shopping at noon left me crippled and can not stand up, so I leave the Spanish in the Amazon, and on the way to the hotel I passage through the Pavilion to see the last day donkament 1A $ 1,000 road bed, which is the best way …
