Only the best and brightest play in the "Main Event." We've got a young lady here who won her seat online and has never before played in a live game, and Card Player also witnessed a player who needed to be instructed on what a "showdown" is and when it happens.

The aforementioned woman, who had won her seat online and never played in a live game before, has somehow managed to be eliminated.

I like it this way much better. Sorting through pages and pages of 2 threads that are 2 replies long (and duplicates of 5 others) is beyond tedious. This way, I can see whenever someone has posted here and check for new info.

Daniel Negreanu arrived late. He thought he was early. His agent told me Daniel though action began at Noon today. Anyway, Daniel and Sammy are jawing already. Should be for good TV.

They should set up another table to the side and play some HU PLO for $500k between hands.

Yes, I'm kidding.

Erin Ness wtf?????
 

How in the hell does Erin Ness go from being a 28k a year photo assistant at Maxim to a sponsored Professional poker player with Stars?? Apparently one go at the Lederer Fantasy camp which she attended made her great?? I'm baffled. Is poker that starved for female players that we all have poker goggles??

Title: Through the "Grinder"
Log: A player makes a preflop raise, and Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi calls. The flop comes 9-3-2. Mizrachi bets out, and his opponent comes over the top all in. Mizrachi quickly calls. "Overpair no good," Mizrachi says before his opponent has the chance to flip over pocket aces. And indeed bullets are no good, as Mizrachi shows 3d-2d for bottom two pair. The turn and river are bricks, and Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi sends a player home early.

She had a deep run at the WSOP last year, and finished on the bubble in one of the earlier WSOP events--one with a large field I think. So maybe she has some talent.

Oh, and she's hot. Don't forget that. How often do you think Pokerstars will get the logo she's wearing on TV vs. the logo some fat slob is wearing if they go the same length of time in the tournament?
