My Event 26 at the WSOP
I played in Event #26 on Saturday, which was the $1,500
Limit Holdem event. To sum up my day in one wordâ¦ugh. I
have not seen such a weird bunch of suckouts and outdraws in
a row in my life. Limit Holdem is famous for its bad beats and people sucking
out, but I have never in my life seen 10 sets outdraw in the
court of 2 hours at one table.

Karma Favors Jeff Lisandro
Jeff Lisandro won his second WSOP bracelet on Monday. For
many of you that watch poker on TV, you may remember
Lisandro from the 2006 World Series of Poker. Prahlad
Friedman accused Lisandro of stealing another playerâs
ante before a hand and eventually the argument got very
heated and almost came to blows. ESPN heavily edits many poker tournaments and I had a chance
to talk to Jeff in 2007 during a Stud 8 tournament at the
WSOP.

Amarillo Slim Schools Doyle Brunson for $20K
Amarillo Slim is the king of prop betting and of gambling in
general. He has taken Millions from people from prop bets
that have ranged from playing pool with a broom to launching
a golf ball 1000 yards. The latest in Slimâs prop
betting lore involved a scooter race with Doyle Brunson. During the Champions Event, Slim and Brunson were talking
about which of their motorized scooters was faster.

Thang Who? That's Thang Luu To You Son.
The $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo Event just recently completed. Normally, this would be just a nice footnote in history. The
winner of the bracelet in most cases would fade off into
relative obscurity unless they were one of the big name pros
like Annie Duke. That is not the case this year.

My Stimulus Event
Saturday, I took part in the $1,000 buy-in âStimulus
Eventâ at the WSOP. As expected, the place was a zoo of
people and just got worse the closer that we got to the
start of the event. Around 3,000 players started Day 1a of
the event, and I was one of those located in the Brasilia
Room. My table was the pretty standard mix of players.
