I just had to check … and sure enough, he’s not driving around Las Vegas with his Full Tilt name on display:
If only I had a collection of cars, I’d name them all … Free Pokerati T-shirt to anyone who outfits they’re vehicle with the above or any of the following pokertastic plates, all of which are available, some surprisingly so:
Though we probably shouldn’t encourage people to engage in cell-phone photography while driving — it’s tough to avoid blur — we can thank @PokerVixen for sharing this license plate seen on the streets of LV:
In case you can’t see … 2OUTR.
Can only imagine what that beat musta felt like at the hands of a guy who would use the money won to buy a jacked-up, big-tire Jeep with taunting vanity plates.
This one isn’t for a special occasion or tournament or anything … just pretty standard 5th-floor parking at the Venetian on any given Wednesday:
This player is not nearly as creative as he thinks he is.
Big players are (back) in Las Vegas … low Festa al Lago prelim field sizes suggest nothing is as it was a couple years ago, but the higher-stakes action is moving at Bellagio … or at least arriving there.
Seen last night at North valet:
Also seen a little off to the side by our secret valet informant: David Levi exchanging cash through a car window with presumed backer Eli Elezra. (Not sure which direction it was going, though. New guy, lots of cars to park … )
There are probably more personalized license plates in Las Vegas than anywhere else per capita. Perhaps because they only cost $36, or because so many people in this town are totally full of themselves. I’m being serious — at any given stoplight not on the Strip, you can expect to see at least a fourth of the cars labeled with the likes of KITZKAT, CIRQUE, NO CASH, TJQKA, and BLOGHME.
Hmm, I have to get a new Nevada license plate … I have $36 … and the Nevada DMV has a fun web-thingy for checking availability of your vanity phrase. You’re limited to 4-7 alphanumeric characters (but no zeros), so POKERATI is out. But some available possibilities to consider:
THACKERVILLE, Okla.–Kinda funny … arrived at Winstar to find two of the players from today’s deep stack tourney in action here.
Unscientific Demographic Spot Check:
(via license plates)
Texas – 71
Oklahoma – 2
Illinois – 1
Kansas – 1
I’m seated at the small table in the high-stakes area, playing 2/5. Got pocket 8s on my second hand and turned a set. Doubled up. Turned a straight on what looked to be a big hand, too, but got no action. Am up about $600. Lodge player Willie K is at my table.
Oh, and for anyone concerned, they’ve gotten rid of the graffiti in the WinStar bathroom.
