Poker is sexy!!! You only have to visit the poker lifestyle show, much more fun that watching 2000 players sit down with 10k in chips, to see the proof. If Doyle hired 100 girls then Bodog must have 120. Some wear short skirts some walk around in their underwear, some are just bodypainted.

The lifestyle show is in its second year and is a welcome diversion from chip counting and watching the exit door for eliminations. Of course, the "elimination" might just be off to the restroom rather than be 1999th in line at breaktime.

The online poker sites have the big budgets so they have prime acreage in the huge room. Small business with 20 sq ft stalls tend to be in corners away from all the noise. In fact, we had a marching band walk through the room this afternoon an unusual site for Vegas.

Another unusual site was a huge explosion at a propane store around 6pm. The resulting fire is still burning and the road to Utah is closed. (Keeps the Mormons out of Vegas for the weekend)

Cindy Margolis, Pamela Anderson (rumoured to be getting married this weekend) and for the ladies (maybe) Ron Jeremy (porn star if you didn't know) all have attended the show.

Today wasn't a big star day. Snookers Steve Davis, looking much older than I remember him, played and lost. James Garner is the epitomy of old but he has entered his first WSOP main event. We have a nun on a poker run too.

Despite having four Day 1 Harrahs also accepted alternates today. Well they couldn't refuse all that extra money, could they?
