It had been a year since I visited Roland de Wolfe when I saw him playing Chinese Poker with Phil Ivey at what was supposed to be my work table at a London television studio. The general buzz was that Roland had lost a bundle to Ivey so I kept quiet and let them play. Over dinner at a local dim sum restaurant, someone asked how much Phil had won from him, “A lot,” Roland said with kind of a stunned smile, his eyes a little glazed.

Happy Fathers Day! I’m celebrating this Father’s Day, like the last two, away from my family in Las Vegas. (They’re coming to visit next week.) Each of the last two years has been a miserable disappointment, not because of my separation from family – that’s always disappointing – but because I spent a pity-filled day pissing away money on Full Tilt. I’ll be playing on Full Tilt all day, but maybe this time, something good will come of it.

Invariably, the first thing you notice about Roland de Wolfe is his sense of humor. It’s sly, active, and always deadpan. He sneaks up on you that way, seeming shy and low-key at first, until he zings you enough times that you realize he is an outgoing cut-up.

BETTER THAN IVEY!
The guy who won the $5,000 PLO yesterday declined to be interviewed or participate in the Bracelet Ceremony that has quickly become a World Series tradition. Even Phil Ivey, who is legitimately hounded by the international media and disdains all the public trappings of his success, provided that much cooperation. So he better watch out for this Mystery Man.

Patrik Antonius and Tom Dwan have been keeping a low profile at this World Series of Poker, but I can confirm that they are both here. And, as you can tell from Full Tilt’s improved Durrrr Challenge Page, they have been very busy in their titanic heads-up match.

Roland De Wolfe didn’t win his second bracelet of the 2009 Series but he continued his strong performances, finishing fifth in the $1,500 NLHE. The big action today should be in Day 2 of the $10,000 SEOB World Championship.

Greg Mueller won his first bracelet on Wednesday, taking down the $10,000 LHE World Championship. Roland De Wolfe is making his bid for the second bracelet of the Series today in the $1,500 NLHE, where he starts the day third in chips with twenty-one to go.

Friday night 9:30 pm.
I just busted from the $2,500 OEOB/SEOB in forty-eighth place, eight spots from the money on the last hand from the break. I’m struggling to find a word that describes how I feel right now. I played well and I have busted out of many tournaments but busting out of this tournament after this amount of time is a little different. But I can’t come up with the word.
