Dirty Coaching?
LAS VEGAS–So I\’m following Richard Wyrick — aka Deadeye Dick — and I think he knows I\’m happy to be his sounding board whenever he wants to talk poker strategy. He probably also knows that I keep coming up to […]

Dallas’ Last Man Standing
LAS VEGAS–Am left wondering if I shoulda made a side-bet with Mike & Tom on Dallas vs. Ireland. (Actually, I probably coulda wrapped all of Texas into it, too.) Matt Wilson is 7th in chips right now, with $1.2 million.
