Part of my duties hosting FTOPS Event #15 – one of which was NOT busting out in 1,722nd place; I did that on my own thank you very much – included hosting a “pro chat.” I chatted for two hours and answered just about every question put to me, some several times. I’m reprinting the transcript for anyone interested, exactly as it appeared online. Because of the length, I’ve broken it into four parts.

This is the last part of my essay about the 2008 World Series of Poker. If I get a chance, I’ll review my notes from the Series and see if I have any other fun experiences to pass along. But otherwise, this is it for now.

I was also thinking that maybe I’ve thrown off my FTOPS jinx, though that was a very new feeling. My first event, the $200 + $16 NLHE, started like most opening FTOPS events: I didn’t get cards, I lost a hunk when a crappy hand in the blind turned into something good but someone else made better, and then got my last chips in with a good hand, but ran into a better one. It seems every opening event starts with me never having a chance.

#476 – WSOP Notebook #47 – What I saw at the World Series of Poker, Part IV-A
This is the last part of my four-part essay on my observations about the 2008 World Series of Poker. Becuase of the length, I’m breaking it into two posts.

The regular readers of this blog should know this but I’ll state the obvious for those of you just tuning in: (1) I’ve played most FTOPS events; (2) I have an uncharacteristically – defined by the rest of my online tournament record – awful record in FTOPS events; (3) I keep promising/swearing/threatening to sit out the FTOPS altogether, just to keep my ever-more-fragile bankroll and sanity together; and (4) It is my long-hopeless dream to host an FTOPS event.
The 9th series of FTOPS starts tonight, August 6, and runs to August 18, with 25 events in all. Where does my twisted history in these tournaments leave me at the beginning of this series?

Apparently, I got some incorrect information and described last week’s ESPN installment of the World Series of Poker.
Whatever. Like, I was in Hawaii. I don’t even know if they get ESPN in Hawaii.

On Tuesday, August 5, ESPN continues its coverage of the 2008 World Series of Poker.
The first episode was a Tiltfest, with Andy Bloch leading nearly all the way, doubling up the short stacks, taking a couple tough losses, and surrendering the lead on a three-way all-in with 9-9 to Nenad Medic’s Q-Q. (Coming in third was Kaathy Liebert with 6-6 on the hand.) Nenad, a Full Tilt pro, took the bracelet and Patrik Antonius, in his first World Series event with Team Full Tilt, finished 7th; Chris Bell, wearing the colors, finished 6th.
Get ready for more on Tuesday. Event #2 was the biggest tournament outside the Main Event in World Series history, with nearly 4,000 starters. Guess who turned water into wine for 3 days and made the final table?
