Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[Laxie]

Seriously Tony, if you're in London you must go to Moss Bros. and rent a dinner-suit and all the accessories.

Go a couple of days before you need it and they will alter it to fit you perfectly, but forewarned is forearmed.

Be prepared for when the assistant pops the question "which side do you dress sir?".

There's a genuinely preferred 'side'?!  Learn something new every day. 

It's menswear code for "which side does your willy hang?".

Oh I got that bit.  Still giggle when I read "which side do you dress sir?"  I do enjoy the posh translations for simple questions. 

Just didn't realise there was a preferred side.  Thought ye just kinda went with the flow on any given day.  Ya know...whichever side we land on first, that'll do.

More help needed, but first the back- story.

A sudden last-minute gig arrived via text at 9am today, which has thrown my already complex plans for today & tomorrow into disarray.

Can I go up to the EPT with a camera crew & grab a bunch of interviews, today & tomorrow? Of course, "can't" is not a word I like to use or see used in a work context.

So, the EPT it is, for 2days. Unlike last week when we spent 2 days at the WSOP-E & grabbed interviews with just about everyone, there will not be a pukka Presenter to do the interviews. Last week I was the "spot & grab" man, Orford did the interviews, very good he was, too. I think we got 28 interviews, pretty cost-effective Channel Content that is.

Today & tomorrow, I gotta do the lot. It's OK, I'll get by, but when it comes to Interviewing, I prefer to swerve it, as I'm proper shite.

So, to the question.

The list of those I've been given to interview includes all the one's you'd expect, & I know them all reasonably well, & they all know me, we've done interviews previously.  Liv, making her 'Stars debut, Vicky, Barry G, Jason M, Jude, Little Danny, Elky, etc. 

But I'm struggling with a few.

Jon Duhammel (WSOP Nov 9 Chippie?), & Jason Senti (WSOP Nov 9 Finalist), Andre Akkari, Alex Gomes, I need to go googling on these guys. If you have any info on them, or can suggest good probing questions, let me know please. Sharpish!

Thank you.

Which side do you dress?

Which side do you dress?

I'd describe myself as Lib-Dem. But hardly a question I can throw at Liv, Vicky, or Vanessa.

As in 'forgot what you stand for'?

What? Sort of whichever way the wind was blowing rather like a weather........

Akkari and Gomes are Brazilian stars pros, can maybe go along the poker in Brazil route

Jason Senti is involved with Bluefire poker (training site) with Phil Galfond and is active on 2p2. He played like a super nit to get into the ME final table, due to believing that the extra benefits of reaching it outweighed playing for the win at that point.

used to dress on the left but now dress on the right?

Thank you to Longy & Boba for the help.

Have done the 2 Brazilian lads, it was "different".

MOST impressed with the boy Jonathan Dumahall (sp?), he spoke well & I really took to him. Very honest, it seemed to me.

Also got Thewy, Livvy, Flushy, Jude-y, Danny (VERY good, the ultimate pro), Mr & Mrs Kremser, Michelle Orpe, who's had a makeover, & looks very well indeed, James Hartigan, & a few others. Mr Ulliott is next, plugging the book.

Amazing atmo here, the EPT has matured wonderfully.

My 'Stars contact is a lad named Scott, who looks about 11 years old, but is very efficient.

Mad Harper is here too, as is Dena. (Got photos.....)

Live Tourney Poker seems to be like a fashion parade these days, with the dolled-up "trophy girls" everywhere you look. I prefer to eye up Bambos, Mickey W, Derek Baxter & co. Ish.

Comedy hand at The EPT, in the £1k Sidey, which is worth some £67k to the winner.

Toby Lewis gets it in, in a 3 way coup. His opponents BOTH have Aces. And Toby binked the Q.

He's double average now.

Doesnt matter Tom, One Q in Toby's hand is better than two Aces in someone elses hand.
