Without Karridy and Alicia on the ground in Thackerville, I've got nothing. I even registered for updates at WinStar's expensive looking website -- www.wwcs.tv -- but have gotten nothing. gah, unrelated to poker, it pains me to see so much money <s>not spent on me</s> spent to produce websites that no one visits and lack certain substance underneath the slickness. All I wanted was to get the documents they were handing out at the WinStar tent emailed to me, but noooooooo .... I was wondering the same thing.

Dr. Bruce van Horn (finished 2nd to Huck Seed in WSOP main event in 1996) started today with T155,000, but I don't know where he finished. Annie Duke and Greg Raymer were there commentating, and Cardplayer had someone there also. Young Cho was the only name I knew at the final table.
