Poker Review

Although I’m hesitant to say it (as it will make me very unpopular with the people stuck in rainy England at the moment) it is HOT here. Like, seriously meltingly, Vegas-style hot. Yowzer.

The WSOPE Main Event was without a doubt the toughest field I’ve ever seen. Through the 2 and a bit days and the 5 different tables I played at only 2 players stick in my memory as being below average, and in the grand scheme of things they really weren’t all that bad.

An interview with the mysterious member of the poker media, Kevin “Kevmath” Mathers. He is not a bot or a robot, he is made of flesh and blood, very nice and chatty and is on my webcam only for you guys.

Incidentally, the clarinet player did not know how many bracelets Phil Hellmuth had. He was dressed in full white and gold marching band regalia, with a silver helmet and a chin strap. I peered over his shoulder to the sheet music attached to his front. “Lady Gaga – Poker Face” it read.

Missed any of the previous 10 episodes of the Big Game IV? You can catch them all here.

It was quite a week at Borgata. We had the largest field in the history of the World Poker Tour with 1042 entries. And I was one of them!

And I’m back home! I flew into Santa Barbara last week and have been pretty much lying low and just recovering from London. It felt good to sleep in my own bed but honestly, I really do miss England.
