My time in the United States is now over – after four weeks in casinos I am looking forward to a break and a bit of normality. I am in London at the moment, planning to move on again at the end of the week. I got a call this evening from a colleague: “I know it is not quite the Playboy Mansion but I have you an invite to Pageant Media’s E-Gaming Review drinks reception...Foxy goes to Disneyland – WPT LAPC...
With only two players left at the start of play yesterday I was tasked with taking a group of 10 to Disneyland. Included was a large contingent of Ukrainians and Russians so there was a certain amount of lost in transaltion going on. However, I think the experience of Disneyland had a profound affect on me. I see the future – I want to move in the company. I want to become Foxy,...WPT LAPC – Day 4 – Last Part...
12:00pm Day 4 is just about to get underway with 72 players remaining. Last night played later than expected so that they could all make it into the money. PartyPoker has two players left in the field, or almost 3%. We are still above expectations! That’s the good news. The bad news is that both players are sitting below average in chips, so they have their work cut out for...WPT LAPC Day Three – Two Party pla...

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...Day Three continues…Bike time for ...
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!

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...11 PartyPoker players still in – W...
