WSOP Main Event 2006 - Day 1b - Interactive

Peter Smythe is OUT -

I saw the cards on their backs, with his up against the .
The flop brought a Jack, but an Ace along with it ( to be exact) and although there were straight tie outs, sort of, he was up and off.

The same match-up (AA vs. JJ) just doubled up Vanessa Rousso from around 5k to 11.  She too got an Ace on board for good measure.

Paul Jackson is OUT

His response rhymed with 'clucking dubbish'

Iwan Jones informs me that he suffered the biggest loss having called preflop with .  The flop hit - A 2 4 - and he found an opponent with A10 happy to bet all the way.  After Paul had invested something like 6k into this pot, the Four on the river counterfeited his hand and that was the beginning of the end...

Here's Simon Hennessey - Gutshot hoodied and having just snuck into this year's Main Event in a supersat this week.  His positive and upbeat attitude probably annoys some of his poker playing companions who haven't fared so well this trip, and are already yearning for their cold, grey, English home, but he's definitely in the right frame of mind for this competition.

Oh, and his nickname is now 'Goatboy' because that blurry mascot thing you can almost see in this picture is in fact a goat.

About twice a day, a short sharp fire alarm goes off, followed by a loud recording of a woman's voice telling everyone that "This is part of the automated alarm system..." and saying that it will be investigated.  Blue lights flash subtly at the edge of the Amazon room, and everywhere else.  Secondary security features kick in, such as the doors going on autolock, thereby shutting the press out of the press room and forcing the guy with the booby prize seat nearest the door (in this case Tom Murphy, ahahahah) to get up and let the stream of journalists in.

Five to ten minutes after the alarm first goes off, another calm recording comes on saying that it was "determined to be accidental, and the hotel is returning to normal operation." 

So used to this are the players becoming, and calmly playing on regardless, that I overheard one of them commenting when it happened last time, "It's not like when the fire alarm goes off there might be a fire..."

What lines did you reject in favour of this one?

This is Vanessa Rousso shortly after moving her stack back into the black.

She turned away just as I was taking the picture.

The word 'irrelevant' springs to mind.

The Devilfish is looking slighty fatigued of late, not his usual menacing self (ie, shades, gold rings, leather jacket, etc). It's as if he's a lot less threatening without the image.
