That time in the suite when I tried to talk Annette Obrestad into letting me teach her to drive is only one example of when I’ve called Shauna out of the blue with some far-fetched idea. (Actually, this picture, which Shauna used for the Daily Tilt earlier in the Series, was part of another. Annette mentioned that she needed to get a U.S. cell phone. I put Shauna on the case, both to do a favor for a nice person – and so we’d always be sure to have Annette Obrestad’s contact information.)

I miss my assistant Shauna. She is attending the wedding of a close friend and is, therefore, away for a few days. She’s still working: posting the Daily Tilt, reminding me about projects I’ve promised to do, handling all the administrative work Full Tilt asks of her during the Series. But we’ve been working together for a year-and-a-half, and I never realized how much I rely on her just to keep the blog running smoothly. It’s only because of Shauna that I can even imagine a scheme like becoming Annette Obrestad’s driving instructor – much less try to making it happen.

The day before the FTOPS XVI Main Event, Full Tilt announced that it had reached agreement with Annette Obrestad to become a Full Tilt pro. She started her career in red by hosting the FTOPS Main Event the next day. As part of her hosting responsibilities, she agreed to answer questions in the Pro Chat. It is an obligation that goes with hosting, and Full Tilt Pros handle with different degrees of seriousness. A few are simply no-shows. Most make some effort to comply. Finally, a few – really considerate people or blabbermouths like myself – answer hundreds of questions. Annette Obrestad, though, may have set a record.

I told you, I like Phil Hellmuth. His talents and accomplishments, despite his focus on what he hasn’t done or on his shortcomings, are real. He can be a compelling television presence. It’s not a coincidence, however, that his wife is a psychologist by profession. But even I – a friend and fan of Phil – know that he can sometimes be too much. That was certainly the case when he was at the featured table against Annette Obrestad during the second half of the round of 32 during the NBC Heads-Up Championship.
