Its all kicking off!
With only a few days remaining until the start of the main event its Turbo Mega Satellite day at the World Series of Poker. The queues are out the door and the tournament organisers are struggling to get everyone registered. If they’d remove half of the advertising they have in this place the queues probably wouldn’t look so bad!
We bumped into Phil Laak, good friend of paddypowerpoker.com. Its very hard to hold a conversation with Phil in this building because he’s constantly being asked for autographs and photographs! Esfandiari and Laak had a heads up today with Esfandiari winning ( A6 against AK) but that doesn’t hurt Phil so much - they’re still buddies!
There isn’t much cash game action at all today, everyone is going hell for leather to get a ticket to the main event (on the cheap!). The Antes Up for Africa charity event is also on today. Apparently stars such as Ben Affleck, Jason Alexander and Brad Pitt expressed interest in playing this event (Can I change my mission from Patrick to Brad anyone???). And our own Andy Black will be coming back today to see if he can win a bracelet. think this is his 54th attempt at this years WSOP!!! Good Luck Andy!
