Bahamas (WPT-PCA) 2007 - Official Updates Thread...

[Reel Deal]

Yikes... was there an accidental head-butting incident?? You’re so smooth TP.

[Talking Poker]

Something like that. But seriously, I mean, do you go left first? Right? Who could know? And who gives way if you both go to the same side??? I'll bet Wikipedia would know, but I sure don't. Add in my being 6'5" and her being... well.... not quite 6'5", and it's even more complicated.

We went to downtown Nassau (via ferry) today for some walking around and shopping and all that crap that I would have never done if I was here by myself. It was ok. Had lunch down there and then came back. That Leif Force dude (WSOP 2006 - 11th place finisher) ws sitting right across from me on the ferry, so I struck up a conversation with him (and his girlfriend and his friend). Like everyone else I meet at these things, I was surprised at how nice he was. Definitely a cool guy. This is his first big tourney since the WSOP. One of the things I asked him about was Jamie Gold... sure enough, he doesn't like him all that much, jut like I expected. He said he liked everyone except for Gold, that Swede dude (he seemed ok to me) and of course that punk bitch whose name I forget (fortunately)... Matis or something? I can' remember right now. Anyway, Leif was exactly like I expected from what I saw on tv - nice guy.

When we got back here, we stopped in to check on the poker tourney for a minute. I walked around the whole room and was surprised at how few pros I saw - I mean, there are a number of them here, but not a crazy big number like last year. I really think the Aussie tourney is taking a lot of people away from here. After walking the entire room, I finally noticed a seat assignment schedule and looked up Wes. I walked by his table quick (in the middle of the room), and tried to get a look at his chips, but I couldn't really count them because there were so few. Hopefully they were all high denomination ones. He hasn't posted yet, so that's good. I'm gonna swing by there again on the way to dinner, drop off his sweatshirt, and see how he's doing.

After the quick stop in the poker room, we did the water slides a couple of times, and then got in the pool until it closed (5:00 - lame). The stupid sun was baking me all day in Nassau, but sure enough the clouds appeared as soon we were ready or the water slides.

Off to dinner in a few... I'm thinking we're gonna do what, IMO, is the world's greatest buffet.

from the pokerstarsblog-
"Steve Paul-Ambrose has been suffering and enjoying a teeter-totter day. At one point he was up to 65K. Then, later, Steve raised to 1,100 under the gun and got a call out of the big blind. On a flop of K73 with one diamond, both players checked. The turn was an eight of diamonds. Steve bet out 2.5K and the big blind raised to 9K. Steve called. The river wad the three of diamonds. The big blind pushed for 60K, covering Steve. After thinking for a long time, Steve mucked 77 for sevens full of threes. His stack was reduced to 50K (still not a bad number to have at this point)."

who makes this fold?????

[MAYHEM45]

Sure as fuck not me. He probably lied about his hand.

[Talking Poker]

That is a horrible fold, IMO. If Villain has KK (or 88 or 33), stand up and shake his hand.

In other news, I just stopped down to check on Boobie... His stack was looking MUCH better. He's got 30k now. He said he was down to 7k (still not too bad) at once point, which is probably when I saw him earlier.

Very nice updates. Go Boobie, TP and Kurn

[Zybomb]

Barring the biggest read Ive ever had in my life, I think it's an awful fold

[Talking Poker]

Turns out play ended at about 8:45 tonight (six 75 minute levels with 15 minute breaks and no dinner break), which is a lot less than I expected. Also, starting chip counts were 20k and not 10k like I thought, so Boobie was hurting at 7k.

Hopefully he made it through and will give us an update soon.
