Final Nine Set

Jack Effel: “Players, you may now go on your 117-day break.”
I thought it would be extra funny if two people went out on the final hand … would’ve totally caused a “Doh!” moment to the folks who bought thenovembernine.com and thenovember9.com. (I’ll give you a hint, since I can’t link specifically to search results here.)
Craig Marquis made it! And even though he had the smallest cheering section of any player — save for maybe the stoic Russian — the dude from Dallas is clearly the man, and the only player who matters. St. Louis, Shmaint Louis!
In the meantime, while we figure out what’s up over the next almost-four months, you can see a few more details about the final table of the 2008 WSOP main event here.

That’s funny… As I just finished buying TheNovember9.net/info and TheNovemberNine.net/info.
Seriously…. Buying the .com, but not the others!?
…Amateurs.

How much will Harrah’s pay for novemebernine.com and november9.com?

How about novembernine.com (spelling it right, this time.

Kevin, Harrah’s already owns them. They paid probably $8 a year. Maybe $6.

I have controlled november9.com for quite some time. Email to me if curious – dotcomnames@hotmail.com

Dan, run a WHOIS search for those two domain names. If you look, they’re definitely not owned by Harrah’s.

Dear Mr. Squatter,
thanks for the offer. curious why you bought the name and when … i can’t think what on earth i would do with that domain name, other than put up a crappy site ineffectively trying to make a quick buck. but hey, i have missed some internet boats before, so it’s very possible i am not seeing the value here.
$5. Will you take it?
