Druff, Micon, and Drexel are all present for this one, as we return to the airwaves after a 16-day absence. Tournament grinder Stacey Lynn is our special guest. We talk about the Tobey Maguire poker bust. AP founder Phil Tom is back at the WSOP playing Mr. Innocent. We discuss the rumors that Full Tilt stupidly invested $200 million in a no-name movie company. Micon continues to obsess over bitcoins. The June 29th DonkDown Insert Coins Party is announced. Drexel walks off the show when Micon won’t hang up on Yebsite. Druff and Micon both deal with illnesses while hosting the episode.

Seriously … she addresses online poker players specifically about 3 minutes in:

(Matt Damon and Tobey Maguire also make appearances, indirectly repping the WSOP)

I don’t want Tom to vote, however. Or people who think like him. Country Second! I’ve got actual money on the line.

LAS VEGAS–Play has ended for the day, and Josh Evans is alive and well with exactly 400,000 chips — ~~a still comfortably above average stack~~ a slightly above average stack (briefly forgot they started with 20,000 this year), but way behind the chip leaders. (Ten players are already above a million.) He was into the 600s for a while, but gave a healthy chunk to the guy on his left. “I hate this table,” he told me. It had on it the aforementioned big stack, Humberto Brenes, Tobey Maguire, and an online phenom/Jackie’s alum I am learning more about named “The Waco Kid.”

Fortunately for Josh, his table was broken as players bagged their chips for the night … so we’ll see where he starts the day tomorrow — 337 players remain.

Liger’s Chasing with skills

Familiar faces left in Day 2a are few and far between. John Duthie (one of my favorites) is among the chip leaders with Huck Seed not too far behind and David Levi working a short stack. On break Levi said he wasnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t too excited about 50k after a big loss but since he started the day with only 15kÃ¢â‚¬Â¦then he shrugged his shoulders. John Duthie said he was up and down but thought he should be okay if he made it through tonight. I should say soÃ¢â‚¬Â¦Duthie is looking good with a stack over 300k

Other notables are HoustonÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Ted Leva, Bobby Baldwin (see photo), Bruno Fitoussi, Neil Channing, Robert Mizrachi and Tobey Maguire. They are down to 386 players and will play down to 350 tonight Ã¢â‚¬Å“no matter what.Ã¢â‚¬Â

BTW – I announced Liger in the media room and someone from not America said “Did you say Liger? I didn’t know anyone knew they existed, I know a lot about Ligers!”
