I hope I win the whole thing too, but it's 7 LONG days of play that require a lot of concentration and focus. One mistake and it's all over. I just would like to cash and get on ESPN. Haha.

Never heard of VIP but if off-duty HPD officers are involved, I'm not sure I wanna be around. 3 of my old places were raided by the police including Aces which got raided twice, both times by that A&E Show SWAT...

Hope you don't get sat at the same table as that dweeb who won last year. What's his name? Jamie something? Looks like a Greg Maddux. That guy seemed like an a-hole.

You need a nickname for ESPN to use.

Jamie Gold is the guys name. He's a decent tournament player (Who happened to catch an amazing run of cards during last years Main Event) but recently has tried to play some deep stacked cash games and has been getting run over. He lost 100k playing a 100/200 short handed game in about 4 hours. LOL.

He is a douche, though.

I know alot of people were saying that 90% of his winnings went to pay off his lone sharks and if he hadn't won that tournament, he'd probably be 6ft under right now... course I don't live in Vegas or Hollywood so I have no idea how true that rumor is
