Also from the barbecue/Phil Ivey charity thingy at Golden Nugget … Ran into fellow blogger and WSOP commish Jeffrey Pollack. His stylish pink enticed me to move in for a kiss, but like a 7th grader at a bar mitzvah party I could only bring myself to whistle in his ear.

From the Lederer/Zolotow World Series of Barbecue at the Golden Nugget … after tearing it up on Guitar Hero, Jef Madsen challenged Phil Ivey’s cousin “Smokey” to a freestyle-rap “cuttin’ contest”. The words are hard to understand on this video — too bad RawVegas wasn’t there — but Madsen impressively held his own before succumbing [...]

photo: Flipchip / LasVegasVegas Good thing Michael DeMichele didn’t win, or the inscription “Standing the Test of Time” might seem a little presumptuous.

Date: Wed, Jul 2, 2008
The WSOP party season has begun… I’ve hit two of the parties this week and plan for more as the week progresses, but I can’t see myself getting crazy with it. I must say that it’s a nice break from the daily grind of tournaments, though. On June 30th, I attended the All In party at [...]
