I hope TJ Cloutier takes his buy in and punishes them on the craps table now.

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k.  “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi.  Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

"Had the rejected players been accommodated bothered their arses by getting out of bed on one of the other days, the tournament likely would have eclipsed its total entries from last year"

"Matt Clark, a spokesman for online poker site PokerStars, said employees of the site knocked on hotel room doors and left notes, sent e-mails and called players on Sunday to urge them to enter the tournament early."

Because evidently people just can't think of it by themselves.

....but I seem to recall it started like this......

Remarkable scenes at The Rio today, on Day 1d  - the last Opening day - of the Main Event.

Unless you've been on the moon, you should know that today would be a sell-out. It was guaranteed, nailed on, a sure thing, the bet of the century. You know that, I know that, my cat knows that. 

It's not like Registration has just opened. It's been open since March.

This was the scene this morning, here......
