Things I did this Summer: Day1B at the 2006 WSOP Main Event

I'm guessing that there are maybe 25,000 or so poker players in Vegas this week for the World Series of Poker here, many of whom are downstairs at my hotel looking for action in any number of the side poker games that are going on.

So, where was I? For a portion of my day yesterday, I was upstairs in my room playing poker ONLINE. At least there is no waiting to be called to a table in Cyberspace. Ah, the joys of the virtual world over the physical one. And while I was playing online, I dropped by Pauly's blog and read that Phil Hellmuth was playing at the WSOP Day 1B "featured table" and that he was having a hard day.

So...I decided to go offline and sit down and join the crowd sitting in the EPSN bleacher seats that make up the "studio audience" for the featured table. After a short bit, I quickly realized that the majority of the people who were sitting in the bleacher seats were there simply because they would rather be sitting than standing. While the ESPN set put up a few monitors which projected the video we will be seeing in the edited ESPN coverage of Day1B of the Main Event of the WSOP, the only thing more exciting for a spectator trying to watch the game without any commentary or access to the embedded mini-cams would be to be sitting in the same seats to watch paint dry.

So there I was, and I watched how right before one of the afternoon breaks, Phil went “All In” with his AQ and went up against a pair of sevens (45% / 55% underdog pre-flop) and got busted out of the main event.

While Phil clearly was in shock when he left the table, I walked over to the Ultimate Bet Hospitality Suite and watched Phil get interviewed first by ESPN and then by Associated Press writer, Eddie Pells.

A few minutes later as Phil recovered from the shock of what had just happened, he introduced me to his close friend, John Bonetti. I ended up sitting down with John who during the course of our conversation gave me some great coaching and advice for my play today in Day 1C.

After signing quite a number of autographs and being part of a countless number of photo opps, Phil invited John and I to the VIP area in the UB Suite. I was amazed that in the face of everything else that was going on around us, I was able to spend some focused, quality time together with my friend, Phil Hellmuth.

With words of encouragement from both Phil and John, I'm ready to play today in Day1C of the Main Event of the 2006 WSOP.
