24th July 2006
Jason Lester has been playing poker longer than his runner up
has been alive. His first WSOP cash was in 1991. However tonight was Jason's
first bracelet. Alan Sass (Vegas) had an earlier small cash at this years
series. He has a huge following. It was almost embarassing for Lester to
receive the bracelet on an empty stage while a hundred fans walked away with
Sass.
Even the railbird beggars chose to ignore
Lester and tag along with Sass.
The only gossip I know about Lester is
he had a fling with Evelyn Ng about 15 months ago. >>>
Stuart
Fox from Birmingham moved up a couple of places from overnight fifth to third.
Stuart won $142k plus enough change to buy dinner for four.
The toast of
Wigan Jon Gaskell cashed in the $1k with rebuys.45th for $6787. Barny Boatman
was 26th Julian Gardner 27th. Both received $11701. I heard Negreanu rebought
45 times and did not cash.
Another good final table line up tomorrow in
the $1k. Phil Hellmuth makes his third final table and his sixth cash of the
series. Making fun of him will be Tony G, especially if ESPN decide to video
the table. Ralph Perry will be trying for his second bracelet. Jura Helppi
(Finland) is the only European at the table.
Ladbrokes had a party
tonight for its internet qualifiers. I am confident I could have crashed but
Lester v Sass was heads up and I am more photographer than writer as you may
have gathered.
If you have friends playing in the main event let us
know and we will try and follow their progress
Michael Mizrachi's (big
winner from Florida) lady Lilly (Aidilay) was robbed in the car park late last
night. Always a good idea to leave your money in a box at the casino. This is
usually a free service.
