It’s difficult for me to write about the nice things that many of my friends at Full Tilt do with their time and money. Because I work for Full Tilt and this Blog appears on is site I worry that readers presume that I have to write these stories, or a purpose of the Blog is to make the site and its representatives look like upstanding citizens.

When I arrived to watch Table 285 at 10:50pm, the seven players present had fifteen career WSOP bracelets. That does not count Phil Hellmuth’s eleven or the one that Richard Ashby, understandably absent would win one hour later. (This table didn’t produce the event winner either, but it’s the sort of thing that makes you wonder for Scotty Nguyen’s mental state when he asserts that group at his table is 4-to-1 in win the event – and just about every table had multiple bracelet winners.)

I had big dreams for this World Series. I‘ve played about forty events in the last three years and made three Final Tables. This year, I was counting on winning my seat to the Main Event on Full Tilt, getting $20,000 from Andy Bloch by winning my weight-loss bet, and round up whatever miscellaneous money I could and run it up in the satellite room for a bunch more buy-ins. You know what big dreams can turn into at the World Series of Poker? Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Before the draft and auction even started, team captains faced some disagreements over the rules. Howard Lederer announced that, in response to Barry Greenstein’s request, the Seniors and Ladies events would count in the standings. There was general moaning and groaning, ended by Daniel Negreanu saying, “Those events aren’t real. The bracelets aren’t real.” (I don’t know how this was resolved.)

PARABLE #3 – THE LEDERER PERSPECTIVE
Howard Lederer would seem the perfect person to mediate between the Ferguson and Straus approaches. He is extremely smart and introspective and had the benefit of obtaining a lot of his post-graduate-equivalent brains on the streets.

Howard busted at 3:03 AM in third place. I stuck around with Andy Bloch and Jennifer for a few awkward minutes. I couldn’t come up with anything to say to Howard but something lame, and said it anyway. I shook his hand and said, “It’s useless for me to even say, ‘you played well Howard’ because you played tremendously and it didn’t have a thing to do with the outcome.”

Howard Lederer in profile, still sitting at the table, still leaning slightly forward, a swirl of chips spread across the table. He looks so similar to the earlier images (and really, the later ones too) that the first impression is that you can’t tell anything about how the game is going by looking at his face.

This image is time-stamped in my notes at 12:57 AM. The communal cards in the center are 7s-Js-Td. Howard Lederer, with a chip stack of more than 600,000, leans forward in his chair, his face impassive. Ivo Donev has only a small stack of blue chips remaining and he jingles them in one hand.
