Getting
closer, at least geographically. Today Swedens Mats Rahmn won the $1500 NLHE
event. Hungary's Richard Toth was second and the legendary Irishman, at least
in his street, Padraig Parkinson was third.
The PLHE was scheduled to
be a two day event. However the final nine was only decided at midnight so
sensibly everyone voted, myself included, to return tomorrow afternoon. John
Gale (Bushey, Herts) carries the flag to the table tomorrow. Iwan Jones
(Cardiff) was out in 17th for $9k. John Gale has 134k in chips. Runaway leader
is Alex Jacob with 524k.
Alex Jacob (New Haven) is a twentysomething
from the Greg Raymer state of CT. He arrived on the radar with a second place
in a WPT event at Foxwoods, worth $655k. This is his second final table and
third cash of the series. Anything odds against with Stan James would be worth
a punt. (Warning: My last winning tip was Max Pescatori 12 days ago.)
Joe Hachem has 64k. Joe hasn't been sighted often in Vegas
since his historic victory but has certainly impressed me with his play this
series. Joe isn't at all big headed which is amazing given his Aussie
background.
One of the booths in the hallway is for a strip club called
Sapphire. Today they put up a pole. They chose to blast some music and put on
an exhibition during the tournament. Some players complained about the loud
music. Devilfish left the tournament to watch the girls.
1) Chantel
McNulty (Lake Dallas, Texas) and Joseph Hachem
