A Final Table at Commerce and Matt's changes forthe 2009 LAPC

I have been at the Commerce the past few days, and as always they run a great operation. I mentioned earlier about Matt Savage joining the staff as tournament director, I had a chance to catch up with him and he talked about the changes in the up coming LA Poker Classic and I thought I'd...

Matt Savage at Commerce, FTOPs

I am on or should I say in an airplane heading to New York City, I would guess that on the plane is pretty windy and cold at 37,000 feet going 0.82 mach. The way the airline industry is cutting back on services that just might be the next class of service, the ultimate in no frills. Anyway, I am...

WSOP Final Table

The WSOP Final table played from 9 to 2 players today over about 12 hours. For Dennis it started a little rough, losing several hands early. He did rally before going out 3rd and ending play for the day and leaving Peter Eastgate and Ivan Demidov to play heads up tomorrow. I sat on the stage next...

The Cordi's, Hard Rock Weekend, FTOPS, WSOP Final Table

After a few days off in Rancho Mirage, I'm headed back to Las Vegas tomorrow for the WSOP final table weekend and a few events. I wanted to mention a couple of friends who recently had some great success lately, the Cordi family. I have known Joe Cordi for several years; we met playing poker...

Caesar's, Hard Rock, All In for Kids Charity

I played the Caesar's main event yesterday and initially things went pretty well. At my first table, which was the first one to break, Grinder and I mixed it up in several hands. I was just getting use to the table when it broke and I got moved. Grinder moved to the same table. We were then...

Go Oddie

The Bellagio 15k event played 5 levels today and although they hoped to play down to the final six, 12 remained at the end of the day. It is as it started a star studded field. One of my good friends from Commerce Oddie Dardon is still going strong and is second in chips. Joe Sebok is also...

Michael Phelps-Phil Hellmuth; Who's the best?

Yesterday was day one (a) with today being day one (b) of the Bellagio's main event series. This is a $15,000 buy in and should have somewhere around 325 players. I played a few satellites yesterday and did not win a seat and have made the decision not to play this event. Although I really...

Enjoying Vegas

I have been at the Bellagio the past few days playing a combination of cash and tournaments. The 5k had around 160 players and I managed to stay alive until about 40 left, with 18 getting paid. I flopped a set and Tom McCormick flopped a flush draw and a gutter ball. We were three handed after...

What's Next

Day two began well enough, with a good table draw. Tim West was the most solid player at the table, but he was short on chips. He and I seem to be at a lot of tables together and I have found him to be quite a nice guy. There was a wild local at the table who was the deep stack and got out of the...
