Remember guys, you can still put a team in until next Friday with minimal penalties.

Just got back from the WSOP in Vegas. Anyone who loves poker has to go see this at least once in their life.

It was cool to be just walking around and see Johhny Chan, Gavin Smith, Negraneau, Vanessa Rousso (hot), Mike Matusow, Jennifer Harman, Phil Hellmuth, and countless others.

We also saw Shannon Elizabeth (Nadia from American Pie) who is big time into poker. I would like to get big time into her, holy shot is that chick hot! Even hotter in real lfe.

My cousin played the first $1500 no limit event and was out on the first day unfortuantely. But he did get interviewed by Terry Jones from the Edmonton Sun at the same time he was interviewing Negraneau. Should be a big feature in the Sun on Saturday or Sunday.

It was a really cool atmosphere to be a part of. Next year I think I am going to have to try and play in a $1500 event and see what happens.

I did manage to win about $700 playing poker while we were down there which helped absorb the costs.

Can't wait for next year and to win this pool again.

Mike, that is so cool. I would have loved to have been there just to watch and get to guys like Chan and Negreanu hanging out.

Congrats on winning the $700...were you playing $1/$2, $2/4, $5/$10? Or were you playing tournaments?

Yeah it was a cool experience for sure. Mind you Vegas in general is a cool experience.

I won the $700 playing $1 $2 no limit. I actually won $1100 the first day but ended up donkeying $400 back when I was pissed at the MGM.

Highly recomend it for any poker fans.

We also watched the final table of the $1500 no limit event that ESPN was taping. Looking forward to seeing it on TV soon.

His name is Duncan Macintosh. He only played in the one event so I don't think there is going to be much to follow.

However here is a link to that article I was mentioning:
