Phil Ivey v Borgata
Matt Glantz
“I heard the buyin for @philivey to play the @WPT Championship @BorgataPoker this year is $9.615m. Doubt he will play.”
David Baker
“Borgata clearly run by a bunch of huge pogs, judge already throwing out their Ivey complaint and screwing the final 27. Never playin there”
Poker Etiquette
Allen Cunningham
“Someone’s last comment before knocking me out was ‘I guess I’m pretty much drawing dead'”
Jon Eaton
“man i got nitrolled so fucking hard just now. i fist pumped cuz i was sure he called with worse with no time bank left. fucker chopped.”
Victoria Coren
“Very good time for a dinner break. New table again, where three players just took it in turns to have a 15 minute think about THE SAME HAND.. I’m going to spend the break looking for a copy of War And Peace, which I can probably finish during the first hand after dinner. #hurryup”
Eugene Katchalov
“Got flight slowrolled. Just as we were circling JFK to land, it closed on us because of bad weather. Now in DC, thankfully not in a hurry”
Others
Matt Glantz
“Big problem w this ruling is it disincentives anyone late in a tournament from outing a cheater. This is very unfortunate.. If u r down to 5 players in a NJ tourney next week – say a $15k buyin & guaranteed $300k for 5th – how do u out a cheater at that point?”
Bryan Devonshire
“Came home, this well behaved wolf looking dog is mysteriously here. Nobody knows anything, no collar, dog won’t talk.. Found wolf dog owner, lives a few blocks away. Must have climbed a snow bank to get in. Quite a trip coming home to a wolf in the kitchen.”
Daniel Negreanu
“Anyone else feel like Speith has absolutely no shot of closing this out? #MastersSunday..I don’t believe a 20 yr old kid has the mental fortitude to handle the pressure of playing for a Masters championship on the back 9. No shot.. Haha what did I say people? Kid is good but this is Bubba’s jacket. He is too young and he is no Tiger.”
Gavin Smith
“Watching Sharktank for the first time, I am officially hooked and think @mcuban would be a fantastic poker player! #tonsofgamble”
Matt Salsberg
“Women are such teases. Cute waitress at borgata just asked me if I wanted toast with my omelet. I know she knows it’s Passover.”
