13th July 2006
The day
started with a dealer meeting that delayed the start of the tournament. One of
the problems was when the dealers received their first paycheck last week they
were informed it included tips for event #1 only. The arrival of the second
paycheck today skipped to event #5. (Sounds just like the good old days at
Binion's Horseshoe)
Also some dealers found they were not paid for
sitting at tables when not dealing. I assume this includes during players
dinner breaks when the dealers guard the tables but do not deal cards.
A
second meeting was held when the swing shift dealers arrived this
evening.
A stronger media room was also unhappy about a large and active
security around the HORSE tournament that effectively blacked out the non Card
Player media. I don't actually mind letting these interns conduct chip counts
if only they are reported accurately. During one break I congratulated Max
Pescatori for being the chip leader with a six figure chip count. "I only have
41k " replied Max . Patrik Antonius ' friend Claus Nielsen informed me Patrik
had 275k when he was online at 225k.
With over 120 all stars in the
HORSE the cunning Joe Beevers and wise Harry Demetriou
sensed they were getting good value in the $2500 short handed. How right they
were. Add A.Ramsden and we have a British trio left in the final five tables.
Tom Birmingham, Bristol, UK - ($2127), Richard Ashby, Watford, UK -
($4255) and Trevor Whitenay of Newton Abbot ($5957) finished in the money.
