THE TABLE FROM HELL AT THE WORLD POKER TOUR
|
18 October 2005
Action from Day 1 at the Doyle Brunson North American Poker Championship. The tables are chosen at random, but my idea of poker hell is a table currently playing in the Bellagio poker room. How does this lineup sound to you? Daniel Negreanu, TJ Cloutier, David Tran, Mimi Tran, and Young Phan.
I mean come on, this is a living breathing nightmare if you happen to be the fat guy in seat 5 wearing the Tommy Bahama tee. And he`s there, trust me, wondering how the hell this happened to him. He probably won his seat online at Full Tilt or BoDog, came to Vegas full of hope and bonhomie, only to find a table of absolute demons first up. Daniel had a nice stack of chips early on while I was watching, picking up some of the first pots. He is having a very poor 2005 from a tournament perspective, and all the talk is that he now has too many distractions in his life - celebrity chief among them. This is a guy who used to live with his mom, bring a packed lunch to the table, and live and breathe for poker. Now he`s married, famous, courted by places like the Wynn and video game manufacturers. His poker is definitely suffering, or at least his tournament poker.
It doesn`t help that TJ is now to his immediate left, Mimi on his immediate right, and David Tran two seats over. More updates soon....
