$2,000 Pot Limit Hold'em Results

All Through The Night



The Final Table was played last night rather than today as scheduled. All participants have to agree to play through, however. If they don't want to be written about and become rich and famous, that's their decision.

I like days off. But I missed two of my favorite people, Tom McEvoy and Phyllis Meyers. I think Phyllis is the first woman to make a FT in this tournament.

Amir Vahedi led from the get-go. He's been on a several year rush. Eventually I will have to admit he can play...but not yet.
