Then, from different directions comes Phil Ivey, Johnny Chan, that Greenstein
guy, and a couple other pros whose names I don't know. Oh, and also Flynt
himself, in his gold plated wheelchair. They played a nice quiet little game of
$4000-$8000. No shit. I don't know who won what, but our dealer was on the
rotation and was dealing a little over there, and said that Ivey walked with
about half a million, and a lot of it was Chan's.
It does put things in perspective. Most fish like us sit around and dream of getting lucky in a $100 super-satellite to enter the WSOP....these guys can win the buy-in to the WSOP main event buying stealing the blinds a couple times in the above game.
Random thoughts from a lawyer, an accountant, a commodities trader, an ex-Marine and a WSOP Main Event money finisher that don't know as much as they wish they did...
