I just joined the World Poker Association today as a founding member. It’s an association that really needed to happen. I’ve been involved in a couple of them that have never taken off the ground because it takes a lot of money and it takes the support of the poker players to get it going.

Is it just me or does it seem like this World Series is being running by a pack of chimpanzees on the loose after having broken out of the local zoo? Yes, Harrah’s did address the most glaring problems from last year: access to decent affordable food and drink and a place to deposit the ensuing results. While the Perma Potties out by the Milwaukee’s Best Light Garage are a step up from the Porta Potties found at most large gatherings, they’re really a concession to the gripes of the spectators and casual players. But what about the REAL players, the top pros?

Andy Bloch is still in the house. After a quicker exit than he would have liked from today’s $2,000 No-Limit Hold’em Shootout, Andy spent the afternoon in the Full Tilt lounge doing—what else?—playing poker, this time online in a satellite for the main event of the World Series. No matter that he has already bagged two seats in the championship. When you’re on a roll like he is, you have to keep pushing for all it’s worth.

In the HORSE event I had $50,000 to start and I lost a big pot in the hold’em so I lost $15,000 right away. That got me down to around $30,000. After that I would win a pot, lose a pot, and then the blinds and antes got so big that I just got blinded off. I lost one Omaha pot. I literally only had enough left to play one Omaha pot. I flopped second low and two pair and the other guy flopped nut nut. That severely crippled me. I only had $6,000 left so that was it for me.

David Singer doesn’t play World Series events hoping to make final tables. He plays to win bracelets and is satisfied with nothing less. After finishing sixth in the $50,000 HORSE event and taking home $411,840, he was back in the Rio today, just twelve hours later, to play in the $3,000 Omaha High-Low Eight-or-Better event. I caught up with him in the Full Tilt lounge.

Hanging out in the Full Tilt lounge just prior to the start of the $3,000 Omaha High-Low Eight-or-Better tournament, Mike Matusow was being his usual loquacious self. Chatty, loud, intense, Mike talks like he plays poker: fast and furious.

Last night, I started accumulating chips soon after we got into the money in the $50,000 HORSE event. I actually knocked out the bubble boy with a pair of deuces. He tried to raise my bring-in with A-K-J, and he didn’t have enough chips to get me off of it, and he ended up not making a pair so my deuces won. After that, I had a really good hold’em round where I picked up some big pairs that held up, and I also managed to steal a bunch of pots when I didn’t have a hand. I lost almost no hold’em pots. That’s what got me a lot of my chips. That got me from like $300,000 to $900,000.

Just a few rounds into the second day of the $2,500 Short-Handed No-Limit Hold’em event, Phil Gordon was on the ropes, having been crippled after losing a coin-flip hand. He shrugged it off and doubled up, thanks to a well-timed move and a little luck. His all-in raise with A-7 got called by a player holding A-10, and Phil caught the 7 he needed on the turn. A couple hands later, he flopped two pair with K-2 to beat another player’s pocket nines. As nice as the change in luck was, he was still on the ropes with only $35,000.
