blonde poker

 

Not a huge amount to report today. The $5000 PL is down to 3 tables, with Devilfish and Steve Liu both still in. Steve has a mountain of chips and looks set to reach the final following the form of his poker partner CT Law. Steve has had some pretty tough beats this week but he has enough chips to wait and prey on the short stacks that cannot damage him. I've played on the same table as Steve quite a few times and he is a real gentleman and one of the genuine nice guys on the circuit. I think that a lot of the dead money has dried up over here reflecting in the relatively low entry, 298, for this event, although I have spoken to a few Americans who say they do not like pot limit. I'm confident that the UK guys coming over will have no problem getting into the main event as the common theory around here is that it won't fill up until the final week when most of the satellites have finished. On my way down to the arena I met Baron from Blonde, and told him he should play the Palms $200 tonight, I saw him 1 hour after the event and he had KK cracked twice and was $400 dollars light. Tomorrow is the $1500 freeze out and I'm sure this will get above 1000 runners and the action will be crazy with everyone trying to double up early on even with 25-25 antes and a 75 minute clock. Its 10pm in Vegas and I'm getting an early night.
