The Poker Brat

Mike and I went to the WSOP Main Event at the Rio Hotel today. What timing! We arrived just as the one and only (thank goodness) Phil Helmuth was making his entrance. Phil dresses up for this every year. In 2008 he dressed as General Patton. In 2007 he came dressed as a race car driver. This year he was Caesar. No doubt with Harrah's blessing. Harrah's owns the Rio and Caesar's Palace.

We were also lucky enough to catch sight of Daniel Negreanu. He passed so close to us that I think he may have brushed Mike's shoulder. There's a possibility that Dan's luck not only rubbed off on Mike, but that Mike's luck took poor Dan. Immediately after we saw him at the break, Dan went back in and crashed and burned. He's out.
