The final table 9

are being introduced right now.  Jack Effel started  his first announcement by proclaiming that this is his 4th anniversary, his wife is in the audience, and they were married here in Las Vegas…that’s love honey.

Lacey Jones was looking gorgeous and foxy with a lot of booby showing in her styling pink dress as she brought up Dennis Phillips for a short interview and Peter Eastgate a few moments later.  Jack Effel is back still announcing more announcements upon more announcements.

Doyle Brunson is now being paged to the stage, to make an announcement.  Peter Eastgate is standing beside him as Doyle wishes everyone good luck and does the “Shuffle Up and Deal.”

It’s possible the tournament will start here in a moment, it’s 12:50 p.m.  Ahhhh, it did.  Jeff Shulman won the 1st pot.

So let’s back up and a get a few pictures in – this little beauty was standing out by the items up for bidding, lining the hall for the Vince Neil Charity that will take place tomorrow night.

Barry Shulman had his bracelet ceremony, presented by Pollack,  with an honor guard – for his WSOPE win.  What an amazing record it would be if Jeff Shulman takes this event.

Phil Ivey just went all-in…holy shit! Jeff Shulman’s wearing his Spade Club hat, head down, contemplating…contemplating…

I’m up in the Press Box, a million miles from the action, and amazed that I’ve managed as good a photos as I’ve gotten.  I need a new camera DAMN IT!

Jeff just folded.  Ivey won the pot.

I’m seated next to a great couple from Florida, they are covering the event for the Key West Register, Todd and Joan.

More later.
