A mixture of sadness and excitement filled the Rio Convention Center on Tuesday, June 30, as the last preliminary event of the 2009 World Series of Poker kicked off at noon. While many players - not to mention members of the media - were glad to see the first starting day of the $10K Main Event just around the corner, others realized that their chances for a WSOP might have to wait another year, and their shots at poker fame may have to come in some other form at another time.Some of the excitement of the day also came from the final table of the $50K H.O.R.S.E.

There is Doyle Brunson's get together at Blush tomorrow which conflicts with the Bluff party at Sapphire.

I would say that a birthday calls for taking a couple days off from the Rio…and that is just what I did last week. I had several of my amazing girlfriends from LA and college come into town for a couple days and we spent our time in Las Vegas having a blast. Some of the highlights include meeting up with Brian Lemke, Justin Shronk’s cousin. Brian won his first bracelet in the $5000 no limit event #15 and it was fantastic he was able to do that for himself and his family.

Only 257 players took part in the $2,500 Deuce To Seven Triple Draw Event at the 2009 World Series of Poker meaning there was a better than average chance of making the money and winning a WSOP bracelet. Mike Sexton, Gavin Griffin and Billy Baxter gave it their best but failed in making the money.
