So while in Vegas I went over to the RIO to check out the WSOP stuff going on, and I gotta say I had a great time there. I was like a little kid running around. Unfortunately the first day I was there I wasn't able to get pictures, so I missed getting pics of a lot of people that I saw. The 2nd day though I was able to get some and here they are.
First up is Annette Oberstad:
She was standing on the rail next to me for quite some time watching.
Then I got Eric Seidel and Annie Duke talking it up:
Got one of Eric getting his chips togeter:
Here is one of Freddy Deeb just after getting knocked out of a tournament that our very own Camasgoose took 34th in:
Walked across the way and caught Huck Seed playin:
Man there were some tough tables here is a pic with John Juanda ( at his table was Daniel Alie, Eric Seidel and Max Pescatori)
Here is one of Max Pescatori
Then I see Men the Master walk up and start talking to people:
So I see this huge crowd over on one side, all guys, so I go to check it out and there she is! Shannon Elizabeth
Have a few more, but maybe later. Hope you enjoy!

Hey WD... great photos. Thanks ever so much for sharing. And how did you go playing that weekend?
Crikey, aren't the lights bright there? Must have looked like daylight.
Thanks for sharing ! Did you make any money out there ?
......Tc.......
AWESOME!!!!
Dude, you're so lucky to get to have been there!!!!
I really wish I could have gotten pics from the first day. Man I saw everyone out there! Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu, Chris Ferguson, Jen Harmon, Phil Ivey, Clonie Gowan, JC Tran, Mike the Mouth, Gabe Kablin, Dimitri Nobles(who btw is cool as hell), Gus Hansen, hell you name em' and I probably saw them.
I was actually surprised to see the amount I did on the rail with everyone else just watching.
T.C. I played poker my first day there. Got into a tournament at Harrah's about an hour off the plane. Built up a nice chip stack, but right before the break my pocket J's ran into QQ and the ever so powerful 3/4 offsuit! Needless to say I lost about 7k in chips to 3/4 offsuit who decided to call 2 reraises in front of him. I ended up adding on just before the break.
First hand after the break I get KK and I'm facing a 1000 chip raise, I got 2500 in chips so I push, dude to my left almost beats me in the pot and the original reraiser also ends up all in. Well it was KK against KK against AQoff. An Ace hit the flop and I was done.
I went to my hotel got into a 1/2nl game with $100, after about 2 1/2 hours I was up to about $450, however by this time I had been drinking quite a bit and decided I could go do even better playing blackjack. I don't remember much after that except that pocket lint is much lighter than $100 bills!
THANKS FOR THE PICS
