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.

There used to be a joke about an unassuming guy (let’s call him Joe) who was somehow known to everyone in the world. (I blame Forrest Gump for driving this joke out of fashion.) I won’t tell the entire joke, because part of the humor comes from the set-up being interminably long: the buddy takes Joe into one situation after another, increasingly shocked that everybody knows Joe.

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.)
