is this televised? if so, Barryg owes daniel n. another 100k. wait, does mimi tran have to play in the same tournament as Jen? I forget.

I'm not sure if she played in that or the cruise, but I saw her name somewhere. Also, this isn't the final table until they get to the final 9. They decided to quit short for some reason. Jen H could still miss it.

I believe it's an ESPN televised event. It's part of the WSOP Circuit events. I'm not sure if Mimi Tran entered or not. If she did she didn't make it past Day 1.

If this is on TV it will be worth watching. Bellande is the biggest maniac I have ever seen. At the WPT event in the Bahamas he pushed w/ rags multiple times and then challenged the table to loosen up. He showed the 72 twice. We were at a table with Moneymaker on Day 1 and Bellande really seemed to be playing it up for the cameras and railbirds.

I'm pretty sure that Mimi played in the PP event this week. I'd like to see Thalen do well. I played with him in the Bahamas also and he seemed like a genuinely nice guy.
