No Rest for the Weary
Tuesday, June 23, 2009 - Gene Bromberg
So sue me, I got home around 6:30 in the morning after watching Matt Graham win his second World Series of Poker bracelet and writing up a post about it. I got home and the sun was UP, man, and it didn’t help that after I put head to pillow housekeeping came a-knocking 90 minutes later because I forgot to put the DO NOT DISTURB sign on the doorknob. I was pretty beat, so I slept till noon, staggered around until I was fairly clean and haphazardly dressed, and headed to the Rio.
I had to be here by 2:20pm to see the bracelet ceremony but as I wandered over the stage was dark and no one seemed to be about. I walked through the field of the $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold-Em event and was a bit surprised to see this:
Yup, Matt Graham, playing in the noon tourney. Perhaps this makes sense, as he just won the $10K Pot-Limit OMAHA event and you should always keep going when you’re on a roll. The tournament today didn’t start until 12:45 because so many players arrived late, so the bracelet ceremony won’t begin until 2:50. I’ll have pictures of that, as well as more pictures from the two final tables last night. Now I think I’m gonna follow Matt’s lead and grab a Red Bull.
