WPT LAPC – Playboy Mansion and Los...

Posted by Warren Lush in General, WPT LA Poker Classic on March 1, 2010 | 1 Comment
Much hilarity in the hotel bar last night. Our Italian players were sat at the bar and conversation was hard enough as English language didn’t come naturally. Salavatore Deluca had talked of having 43,100  chips but when the official chips counts came through it stated 431,000 making him chip leader! TYPO – got a couple of calls from media. Salvatore loved the fact that he...

It’s all over for George Grant – all-in against fellow online qualifier Malte. The AQ held up against KJ when nothing came on the board! What a great ride for George, who was a complete poker novice and freerolled his way this far. Next time you will make the money sir! 3pm – it is all going off at Malte Monnig’s table Player raises on button, Malte re-raises...

1:30pm It’s the first break of the day, and we still have four players remaining out of 161. The shortest stack, possibly in the entire field, belongs to George Grant. Here George Grant talks about level 1 of day 3: Daniel Negreanu continues to amass chips, and get a massage! Approximate chip counts of our four players: George Grant – 9,000 Malte Moennig –...

Diary and Update – Day Two at the ...

Those who turned up five minutes before registration ended seem to be faring well today as the eliminations come hard and fast. Antonio Esfandiari didn’t even arrive until today, so had his chip stack completely blinded out through day one. Here is what his seat looked like last thing last night: They don’t call him ‘The Magician’ for nothing – that said...

Posted by Warren Lush in General, WPT, WPT LA Poker Classic on February 27, 2010 | No Comments
As I write this the number of entries for the LAPC Main Event is 713. I have just quickly popped back to hotel and what do you see – pros arriving – just so they can take their seats one minute before registration closes at 5pm. Mr Hellmuth is in LA but how will he possibly engineer being the last possible person to register? I just saw Hoyt Corkins in the lift and he was...

David McGrail, a 24-year-old surveyor from Edinburgh had the deepest run in the WPT Celebrity Invitational at the Commerce Casino in LA. Ace eight against his kings with a straight on the river was enough to send him on his bike. Thank god his friend wasn’t bike riding as he was wearing a kilt. Last saw these Scots around midnight when I left them in the corporate hospitality...
