Cancel the Lynch Mob
Tuesday, June 2, 2009 - Gene Bromberg
I somehow managed to miss getting pics of Tiffany Michelle and Liv Boeree before they were eliminated from the $1,000 Stimulus No-Limit event. This apparently displeased the masses–the reaction I got ranged from “WTF?” to “let’s burn him at the stake”. So once the $1,500 No-Limit tournament started I grabbed my camera and raced around the Rio searching them out. I don’t like the idea of some fan stuffing me in the trunk of his car and taking me for a ride out to coyote country.
Tiffany of course just posted about her early results and according to a recent tweet she’s up to 11,000 at the first break. Helped, in part, by cracking pocket Aces with her Queens. Hey, a little luck never hurt anyone. Except for the poor guy with the Aces…but he was lucky to have them in the first place. So it all balances out, right…?
Liv Boeree has already broken through at the 2009 World Series of Poker, cashing in the $1K Stimulus tournament for a $2,500 payday. And now she’s back at work in the Miranda Room, competing in the $1,500 No-Limit event as well:
The $1,500 NL field is spread amongst the Amazon, Brasilia and Miranda rooms, and mixed in here and there are the restarts for the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha tournament, the $10,000 Seven-Card Stud World Championship, and the final fifty players vying for the $1,000 Stimulus tournament bracelet. It’s a zoo out there. And until everyone gets seated and situated I’m gonna stay on this side of the bars.
