Brad Daugherty's Bracelet Doesn't Sell - Again
I just read that 1991 WSOP Main Event Champ Brad Daugherty
failed to sell his bracelet yet again on eBay. He tried to do so in December of last year and it failed to
sell. This time, bids went up to $28,100 and yet it didn't meet
whatever reserve he put on the bracelet. The first thought that came to my head is "What the fuck?"
The bracelet is worth maybe $3k, if that, if you melted it
down for scrap gold.

Full Tilt Hearing - I Told You So
There is no other way to put this but to say, I told you so. I said weeks ago that if the Alderney Gambling Control
Commission was to reinstate Full Tiltâs license that
they would need to show that they are making significant
process towards paying US players back. Guess what? That hasnât happened. Oh, guess what
else? The trial was adjourned until the middle of
September.

Deep Thoughts with Compncards
The monkey eats custard. Why the monkey eats custard is beyond me. Perhaps he was
tired of his typical diet of bananas and poo. Perhaps his
stomach was upset after the Full Tilt â Alderney
âhearingâ yesterday.
2011 WSOP Main Event Day 8 - The November Nine is Set
The 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event has finally
reached the November Nine. I stayed with the coverage until we got to 10 players, but I
had to get some sleep so I missed John Hewitt's bustout in
10th place. Regardless, here are your November Nine:
*Martin Staszko* - Chip Leader - 40. 17 Million:Â Stasko
is one of the unknowns at this final table.

2011 WSOP Main Event Day 3 - It's Live and What a Bad Beat for Deeb
Day 3 of the 2011 WSOP is currently underway and the big
story doesn't center around one person but the fact that for
the first time in WSOP history, the Main Event is actually
being broadcast live on ESPN3. com and ESPN 2 television. I followed the coverage earlier in the day on ESPN3. com and
at present I am following along on ESPN 2.

2011 WSOP Main Event Day 2a - Lisa Hamilton and Sarah Bilney Lead the Way for the Ladies
Day 2 of the 2011 WSOP Main Event[[sitetree_link,id=597]] is
currently underway. The Day 1a and 1c fields combined to
make a field of 2,031 players that returned to the Rio
earlier today. One of those players that started the day just barely above
her initial starting stack was Lisa Hamilton. Since that point, Hamilton has been on a monster tear and is
currently sitting with 188,000 in chip at the time I write
this blog.

2011 WSOP Main Event Day 1b - Screw Poker - I'd Rather Be at 4-H Camp
So the 2011 WSOP Main Event is currently in Day 1b and
honestly, I don't give a damn about the event oday. Â For
most of this week until today I have been participating in
the annual 4-H Camp I work at yearly, or as I will call it
this year, the World Series of Ultimate Uno. What is Ultimate Uno? You play the same rules as Uno,
except for the fact that if you have multiples of a number
or special card, you can play them all at the same time. Â
Also, if you get forced to draw 2 and you have a draw 2
card, you can lay it down and make the next person draw
4.

2011 WSOP Main Event Day 1 - Brunson Plays Day 1a
The 2011 WSOP Main Event officially kicked off on Thursday
and contrary to his statement made on Twitter during the
$50,000 Poker Player's Championship, Doyle was indeed in
this one. In fact, Doyle even gave the customary "Shuffle Up and Deal"
call to kick off the Main Event. How did this come to fruition? Apparently Dewey Tomko is the
person that convinced him to play. Doyle said on Twitter
yesterday:
TexDolly Stop it.
