Good Morning, Vietnam - Part II

NOTE: Part I of Good Morning, Vietnam was featured in the last blog entry. The first morning in Da Nang, Vietnam began the same way that every morning did for the rest of the trip.

Good Morning, Vietnam - Part I

For the last week I have been in Vietnam with World Series of Poker double-gold bracelet winner, John Phan, as he distributed food and money to people in his home country. It was an amazing experience during which we visited many towns and villages, and helped a large amount of impoverished...

PokerMania I

To quote the Beatles lyric that is most likely running through World Series of Poker Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack's mind right now, "Help! I need somebody. Help!" The November Nine experiment has literally blown up in the face of the WSOP. The biggest public relations opportunity in...
