LAS VEGAS–One of my many unpublished posts-in-progress was called “Pokerstock.” Get it? Like the WSOP is the Woodstock (in all its incarnations) of Poker. Brilliant, I know.
Anyhow, we witnessed the opening of the National Anthem at the WSOP 2006 main event final table today — performed by former Aerosmith and Rod Stewart guitarist Jimmy Crespo, who currently plays in a band called Phoenix (performing nightly at the “Big Apple Bar” at New York, New York) with his pal Tony Davich.
