WSOP Main Event: Day 1 Recap
After Day 1 of the 2013 WSOP Main Event, I’m happier than I should be for simply making Day 2. The day got off to a late start, but I was able to rally to finish STRONG! Check out Bluff Magazine’s blow-by-blow recap of the proceedings below…Phil Hellmuth Runs Up Big Stack Late on Day 1C of 2013 WSOP Main Event
The 2013 WSOP Main Event would be incomplete without Phil Hellmuth. The 13-time bracelet winner and 1989 World Champion has not matched his 2011 and 2012 performances at the World Series of Poker, but that’s understandable. Hellmuth finished second in the WSOP Player of the Year race the last two years, winning bracelet number 12 in Vegas in the summer of 2012 and getting number 13 in style by taking the WSOP Europe title.

WSOP Main Event = White Magic Time!
The 2013 World Series of Poker has been a challenging one for me. Near misses, busts, and late starts have all added up to more than one disappointing finish. But I’m ready to MAN UP and head in to this year’s Main Event feeling strong!! I’m on the hunt for my 100th WSOP cash finish, not to mention bracelet #14! My dream is to score big here and make a deep run toward the final table, and I’m planning to do so with what I like to call “White Magic”…

DUNK TANK
Check out this video (courtesy of Bluff Magazine) of me going down in a dunk tank! All for charity – the tank (at this year’s WSOP) was sponsored by One Drop, a non-profit organization that strives to ensure clean water is accessible to all. One Drop is an official partner of the WSOP and their goal is to raise $1,111,111 by challenging players to donate 1% of their winnings.
Great cause!! Check them out here: One Drop

Derby Week Continues!
I held my annual Charity Derby Poker Championship last night, and it was off the hook! So many great guests – from celebrities, to poker players, to entrepreneurs.
I’m a fan of this woman! Jane Seymour…Hearts.
Ladies dressed for the “Oaks Day” races in our group – Jennifer Tilly, Angela Arieh, Kristi Courtois, and Cate Williamson.

Derby Week 2013
It’s officially Kentucky Derby week, and I’m ready to spend some of my hard-earned $$$. For me, Derby week means a limo 24/7, black tie, charity events, Millionaires Row, VIP lists and police escorts. Nice life!
On Wednesday I had the pleasure of meeting and hanging out with world-class horse trainer Bob Baffert and his wife at the “Trackside” event at Churchill Downs.
