No sooner had I posted those photos than Joe Hachem exited. Brekkie will taste a little better in Chez Hawkins.

Sad to see him go (with his 3 bracelets):

You know he's going to shout at you for getting the wrong brother ;-)

That is Men the Master who had a history and was caught putting counterfeit chips into play?

Someone pointed out Scotty Nguyen earlier and I mentioned the counterfeit chips but was corrected for it being Men, has he been involved?

Why are these cheats allowed to participate in any tournament in the world let alone WSOP Main Event with the most coverage and prestige, surely they should be setting a precedent and the cheats be hounded for it. Disgusting that Hastings just turns up as his news comes out and takes home a probable 7 figures from the Poker playing community very publicly and is celebrated and congratulated on doing so, when his name was announced at top of chip lead there was minimal fuss, just a few boos and cheat called out from 1000 in the room.

Davidi Kitai (3) went out in 625th but that didn't seem to merit a report on WSOP.com,

I've always said you're a lovely guy Tikay.

After a good night of sleep I've decided to remove Esfandiari from Room 101.

He certainly is a little annoying, but no where near the calibre of tosser seen elsewhere in the list.
