Five minutes into my first event at the World Series, I overheard this exchange:
Woman in Seat 1: Do you know Chad?
Guy in Seat 6: Chad? Chad’s practically my best friend.
Woman in Seat 1: Really? I’m Chad’s fiance.

For Jo Anne, the 5 weeks of radiation therapy at the conclusion of her treatment for breast cancer were sold to us as a vacation compared with 5 months of chemotherapy. Radiation therapy has generally been much easier for her to handle than chemo but it’s still been inconvenient and intimidating. It’s like we’re almost done with cancer but there still has to be something to remind us how awful it is to be part of your life.

One of the virtues of the Wynn Classic was that it ran events other than No-Limit Hold ‘Em. This is true of many tournaments but with the popularity of NLHE, “giving the people what they want” has meant giving a large group what it wants most to the exclusion of one of poker’s greatest virtues: diversity. We are already seeing the big cash games online morph from NLHE to PLO. From what I hear, the big game in Bobby’s Room, when it’s really, really, REALLY big, will sometimes be NLHE and PLO, not the old-timey mix of HORSE games with some triple-draw or Chinese tossed in.

In the second pair of brackets today, Clubs/Spades, all but one of the matches ended in 70 minutes and without as much weird action has the Diamonds/Hearts round of 32. I was saving up my round-up notes for the end of the day but let me share what I’ve written about the Clubs/Spades earlier:

I just arrived back at my room after spending a miserable Father’s Day, followed by three very interesting hours in the Amazon Room.
I hated being in Las Vegas on Father’s Day. Not so much that I needed some affirmation from my kids but because I miss them and Jo Anne and feel I’m letting them down by being here, or letting them down if I’m here and don’t accomplish enough.
