WEDNESDAY July 23

Arrived in Vegas on Wednesday about
9am local time, picked up the rental car
and headed to TERRIBLES Casino to get
some breakfast. Used a coupon from the
AMERICAN CASINO GUIDE, 2 for 1 buffet.
Grand Total = $5.40 for two people ! Crazy !
Not amazing or really hot food, but a great
breakfast for cheapo's like me.

Played some slots after breakfast.
Made +$16.50 on The Price Is Right - Dice Game,
and earned 6 free pepsi's and a free t-shirt
just from playing for a 1/2 hour or so.

Along with a +$15 profit, Gina earned 1000 pts
on her card and got $10 cashback,
real paper money in hand, not a credit.

Gotta love TERRIBLES.
You can cash in your slot club points
for CIGARETTES, BEER, and ALCOHOL.
(Limit 1 carton, 1 case of beer per day..lol).
If you dont have enough points,
pick up a 60 OUNCER (1.75L) of VODKA
in the gift shop for $10.95, no shit !
Been a while since I've bought one,
but thats gotta be atleast $40 in Canada...lol

Vegas Trip July STARTS HERE

Left London, ON, Canada about 2:30am,
bright and early Wednesday. Headed out of
Detroit again this trip, just so much cheaper
to fly from the D than out of Toronto.
Flew Spirit Airlines. Cheap, and for good reason.
Planes were very unclean, and leg space
was non-existant. If you're taller than about 5'9",
you'll be cramped. Over 6' tall, forgetaboutit !

Thinking maybe they bought these dirty
worn out planes from a bankrupt russian airline
because the toilet paper looks likes something
out of the former soviet union, thin enough
to almost call it transparent.

Interesting situation, first 10 minutes of the flight,
there was an Islamic guy praying at the back
of the plane, right in front of the bathroom
(for unknown reasons, the flight attendant
sent him there instead of an empty seat row).
Most people were trying to be respectful,
but if you gotta go pee, you gotta go.
Finally, the flight attendant told him he
couldnt pray there anymore.
I didnt have the heart to tell him he was
praying in the wrong direction anyways,
Mecca was on the other side of the plane.

Watched the movie "The Grand" on my new
mp3 player during the flight to pass the time.
Decent movie, lots of poker player/poker celeb
cameo's. Plot was a little weak, but funny
just the same.

2 Canadians at WSOP Final Table !

Its down to the final nine players, dubbed by
many as the "November Nine", who will
now take a break for almost four months
and return to the Rio Nov. 9th to play the
first part of the final table. The final 2
players will then return for a heads-up
match Nov. 10th to determine the champion.

Tournament director Jack Effel announced
the final-table participants to thunderous
applause, adding "Players, you may now
go on your 117-day break!"

Free Slurpee's this Friday

7-Eleven® celebrates Friday, July 11,
with Free Slurpee® drinks,
National Hot Dog Month with Big Bite®
Meal Deal, and first frozen Monster beverage
not sold in a can.

DALLAS, (July 2, 2008) – It’s that time of year
when the sun is hot and the Slurpee® drinks
are free-zing – emphasis on the FREE part.
July 11, aka 7/11, is the day that 7-Eleven, Inc.,
the world’s premier convenience retailer,
celebrates its birthday and says “thank you”
to its customers with free Slurpee drinks at
participating stores. This year’s 7-Eleven® Day
marks the company’s 81st birthday.
Customers can pour their favorite Slurpee flavour
in colorful, 7.11-ounce “Birthday” cups throughout
the day, while cup supplies last.

7-Eleven is the home of the Big Bite® Oscar-Mayer
all-beef hot dog and the number-one retailer of
grilled hot dogs. And to celebrate National
Hot Dog Month in July, participating 7-Eleven
stores are offering a quarter-pound Big Bite
hot dog and Big Gulp® drink for just $1.99 (all July).

Also, new for July is the first ever Monster Energy
Slurpee drink, called Black Ice. Black Ice is a
black-colored energy Slurpee drink packed with
a full load of Monster’s potent energy blend.
This is the first frozen Monster beverage and
the first variety not sold in a can.

Main Event picks disappoint

Most of my WSOP main event picks
(for the Full Tilt Fantasy Poker)
were eliminated on the first day of play.

David Chiu, David Pham, J.C. Tran,
Kenny Tran, John Phan, Minh Ly,
Andy Black, Tony G, Gavin Griffin
and Surinder Sunar are all toast.

My hopes rest mostly on Scott Clements,
Toto Leonidas, and Hasan Habib, who
all advanced to day 2 with VERY healthy
chip stacks. My two other picks that
still remain, Alex Jacob and John Juanda,
cant be counted out yet, as they both have
around 20,000 chips going into day 2.

Scott Clements has played really well
throughout this years events and has
had a lot of success surviving large fields.
Toto is one of the best there is at reading
people & picking off weak donkey stacks,
so those are the 2 i'm sending my mojo to.

New Season/Format for Poker After Dark

Poker After Dark' Season IV Begins July 14

NBC's "Poker After Dark" series returns with
its fourth season of episodes beginning July 14th.

Season IV of "PAD" promises to break the
tradition established by the highly popular
late-night series in its first three seasons,
where it offered a revolving mix of poker's
biggest names in 6-handed freezeouts.

PAD's fourth season expands the show's horizons.
The debut episode of the upcoming season features
high-stakes, no-limit cash game play as opposed to
the series' traditional freezeout format, wherein
most of the weekly challenges offered a $120,000,
winner-take-all prize to a single player.

Instead, the July 14 episode kicks off new
territory for the show. It's a full week of
high-stakes cash-game action featuring a
lineup of diverse but impressive talent.

In seat order, the six chairs will be occupied by:

- 21 year old Tom "durrrr" Dwan

- 11 time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth

- high stakes, part-time cash-gamer Mike Baxter

- 5 time WSOP bracelet winner Allen Cunningham

- Cirque de Soleil CEO Guy Laliberte... and

- cash game veteran David "Viffer" Peat.

Dwan and Hellmuth have a (very brief) bit of
poker history on NBC, since the two squared off
in Round 1 of the 2008 National Heads-Up Poker
Championship. Courtesy of a bad beat, Dwan
defeated Hellmuth in just three hands,
the shortest match in NHUPC history. They and
the other four players – including Cunningham,
who will be making his televised cash-game
debut here – promise to get the new season
off to a lively start.

The debut week's new cash-game format
has the players starting with blinds of $200/400,
with, according to the show's press statements,
plenty of straddles and prop bets.

The minimum buy-in is $100,000,
the maximum $250,000, and the
mimimum for rebuys is $50,000.

Leeann Tweeden also makes her debut
as the series new host in the July 14 premiere.
The first episode airs late night Monday,
at 2:05 a.m. ET on July 14 (technically Tuesday ),
with five episodes airing on consecutive nights
at the same time.

As in previous seasons, a special "Director's Cut"
episode airs late Saturday night (technically
1:00 a.m. ET Sunday morning), following
"Saturday Night Live." Each day's show will
also be available for same-day viewing
at www.nbcsports.com/poker.

A second week of cash-game action is scheduled
for this fall on PAD. That week's episodes,
starting October 13, will feature Patrik Antonius,
Dee Tiller, Howard Lederer, Doyle Brunson,
Gabe Kaplan, and Eli Elezra.

PokerStars WCOOP 7 announced

World Championship of Online Poker
(WCOOP), online poker's largest championship
series. The 2008 edition, is scheduled to begin on
September 5th, 2008. There will be 33 events
and a massive overall guarantee of $30 million,
twice the total guaranteed in last year's WCOOP VI.

The WCOOP VII will run for 18 days, running
September 5-22, with the final event, the
two-day $5,200 NL Hold'em Main Event,
actually beginning on September 21.
That event carries an incredible $10,000,000
guarantee, the largest ever for an online,
series-based event.
Excepting the final Sunday of the series,
which is devoted to the Main Event,
two other events get underway on each
of WCOOP VII's first 16 days.

WCOOP VII satellites will start July 6.
As with previous WCOOP editions,
Stars will also have a sizeable number of
free entries via such avenues as FPP
(Frequent Player Point) qualifiers;
an additional $1.5 million in free entries
has already been earmarked for the
WCOOP VII series.

2-7 Lowball

I've been practicing my
2-7 Triple Draw over on Poker Stars.
Having fun learning the game.

A few things i've picked up quickly:

Its a game of drawing to the nuts.
(just like omaha).

2-7 lowball is an action game, lots of
people splash around in a lot of pots.
Surprising how many people put money
into the pot without a deuce.

I can also see how reading your
opponents would be super important
in a live game, because you never get to
see any of their cards. I'm still a total novice
at this game, but theres a lot of strategy
to learn and its good practice paying attention
... you have to pay attention in this game !

Tony & Sylvia !

(Sylvia thinking over her next move at the WSOP)

Two former Premier Poker Tour

players from London just got back

from Las Vegas.

Tony and Sylvia Shilyuk
both cashed at the WSOP !!!

Tony came in 5th at Event #9
$1500 Short Handed NL Holdem,
worth a cool $70,860.

He started the final table as the
short stack with 310,000 in chips
Hand 75, Rep Porter on the button
in seat 3 raises to 45,000.
Tony thinks a bit, then moves all in
from the small blind for 138,000.
The others get out of the way & Rep calls.
Tony shows: Kc 8c
Rep shows: 3c 3s
The gallery was on their feet
in the Final Table Area.
Porter has Tony covered so
his tournament life is on the line.
The flop comes Jd 4s 2c.
Porter's legion of fans applaud
while Tony's grow uneasy.
The tournament director explains
that Tony needs to catch a King,
an Eight, running Clubs, or
running double Board Pair to
stay alive in the hand.
The turn comes the 4c ,
the best card that could come
without taking the lead outright.
Now Tony can catch a King, an 8,
a Jack, or a Club to survive and
double up. When the dealer layed
down the river, it was the 5d.
Porter's pocket threes hold up
as he breaks the 2 million chip mark.
Tony went out in fifth and Porter
went on to win the bracelet.


Sylvia came in 40th at Event # 15
$1000 Ladies World Championship
for $3682.

The cutoff, Jody Phillippo, raised
All In preflop with 9d 9h.
Sylvia called from the big blind
with Qc Qh.
The flop was 8s 7c 5d giving Phillipo
a straight draw. The turn gave her
a double gutshot, more outs when
the 10s popped off.
Sylvia had one more card to sweat,
and then boom... the 6d landed as
the last card. Phillippo made a
straight and sent Sylvia to the rail.
Also notable, Sylvia finished ahead
of tourny veterans Kathy Leibert
and Evelyn Ng.

Big Congrats to both of you !

I watch it on Dishnet satellite all the time,
but for those unfamiliar with it, the HPT
is a "minor league" poker tour with reasonable
buy-ins and relatively large prize pools.
HPT tapes the final table and creates 2
one-hour episodes with full commentary
to be aired on TV at a later date.

HPT usually has 3 events held over a
week at the host casino.
Buy-in's are usually $560, $760,
and $1650 for the televised Main Event.

Starting stack for the ME is $10,000 chips
(5k chips for other events).
Blinds go up every 40 minutes.

I'll probably be giving the GreekTown event
a shot in October.

Anyone interested in attending a rake-free
satellite home-game tournament for a seat ?

Niagara Satellites SUSPENDED

I got word that all WPT satellites and
any other WPT promotions/advertisings
at both Fallsview and Casino Niagara
are suspended....

Good idea to call ahead if you were thinking
of heading down to play in one of these sats.

There is some financial uncertainty with
WPT Ent. This has a lot to do with
Game Show Network (GSN) not renewing
their contract for World Poker Tour tv show.

WPT Ent. is supposed to be in negotiations
with other networks, and if a deal is going
to happen, it'll likely happen soon since
Season 7 of the WPT is scheduled to get
underway with the Bellagio Cup IV,
July 11-17, 2008 at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.

I'll do my best to keep you updated.
