I finally finished my cover feature on Phil Hellmuth winning his eleventh bracelet for BLUFF. It ended in a marathon session in which I spent 24 straight hours in my room, ending at about 4:20 PM on Sunday. That left me just enough time to buy into the 5 PM event, $1,500 Mixed Hold ‘Em, but not enough time to think about it. If it turned out to be a mistake, there would be time for that later.

… and I don’t think it’s coming back.
I had this dream of selling Ted Forrest’s 1994 Lincoln Mark VII on eBay during the Series and blogging the sale in real-time. It would be doing Ted a favor, give me a chance to contribute to poker history, and give you all something in addition to the Series to watch.
It’s not going to happen.

I spent the day today watching Phil Hellmuth at the final table of the $3,000 NLHE. His attempt to win his 12th bracelet was a valiant one and he played beautifully. Circumstances beyond his control made it impossible for him to finish better than 6th, earning $74,000. I then spent two very bizarre hours with Phil trying to interview him for this blog and for a cover story BLUFF hired me to complete on him in two days. Then I drove 5 hours to get home.
I have lots to tell you about Tuesday, as well as my late, late, late night on Monday.

Back to razz. 2:07 AM. Men the Master, Seat 1. Player who walked away in Seat 2. Robert Williamson III in Seat 3. Jim McManus in Seat 4.
Robert is wearing his Coat of Many Colors. It is a black sport-jacket with 3 big logos on the back: Milwaukee’s Best Light, Corum, and Club UBT.com. On one sleeve he has an advertisement for TwinSpires.com and on the other, for Robert Williamson III Designs, his jewelry line.

THE THREE PHILS
One table over from Phil Hellmuth is Phil Gordon. While Phil Hellmuth sits as tall as he can, making himself as big a presence as possible at the table, Gordon is almost the opposite. He turns his chair backwards and sits low and far back, leaning over his chips from a distance like a preying mantis.

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.

“Sixty-nine fucking hundred.”
I’m trying to fall back asleep at 7:45 AM and those words/numbers are ringing in my head.
Sixty-nine fucking hundred.

Or, In the Belly (Ring) of the Beast
Thomas Wolfe notwithstanding, you can go home again. At least, I was determined to try. After being pelted with at least 75 angry e-mails and observer chat flames for turning down the spare bedroom in the house occupied by Clonie Gowen and Shannon Elizabeth for the World Series of Poker, I was going to make an attempt to set things right (at least by Guy Standards). Incidentally, fellas, the offer was non-transferable, so stop asking me if they’ll let YOU have a sleepover. But rest easy with the knowledge that if I accommodated every request, that bedroom would be more crowded with desperate men than a Turkish prison.

I’m getting ready to submerge myself again in the World Series of Poker. I spent Tuesday night in a twilight zone, stuck between the pull of my family and the pull of poker. Today, I started reconnecting with the poker world. It has been an awkward process.

PART IV – STUPID GUYS, UNLUCKY GIRL, or 105 MINUTES OF IGNORANT BLISS
I didn’t even remember to ask her what table she was at, so I thought I’d have to brave the mob in the hallway at the first break to find her.
