Default Re: Anyone have a good experience meeting a pro at the WSOP?

During my first trip to Vegas, my dad and I were eating dinner in the Queens (I think - some downtown place anyway), and I spotted Simon Trumper and Ron "the dentist" Rose eating at another table. After we'd finished, and they had too, on our way out I said "Hi guys, sorry to bother you - any chance of a quick photo? It'd make my Vegas trip", they good naturedly agreed, we got our photo, bit of smalltalk, and we went on our way.

Walking back outside, we were a block or so from the Queens when we remembered we hadn't actually paid for our meal. Much hilarity ensued, with us imagining Simon and Ron getting hit with our bill, but our conscious got the better of us and we went back and paid.

I was playing in The Orleans shortly after Raymer won the World Series. He came in and played 2/4 for about an hour. Everyone went over to the table (myself included) to chat him up. He was super nice.

This year Harrington took some time away from the Rio and went to the Bellagio. He was coaching some super hot woman (I know, I know... Pictures) and I coulda sworn I heard her say she was his wife... She's maybe 25 years old.

Okay. Harrington and a girl, who could be his hot daughter, walked in the room and went to a 4/8 table. She sat down and he stood behind her. She played for about an hour before leaving. He was behind her coaching for most of the time. He left for about 5 minutes and that's when I believe I heard her say she's his wife.

She's very young, very good looking, with a huge ring on her left hand.

I ran into Joe Awada (sp?) and he seemed surprised that I knew who he was.

I've played 30/60 with Karina Jett a few times. Last time she was about 6 mos. pregnant and on monkey tilt and I got in a sweet river checkraise.

I played 5/10 with him at the Wynn. Lucky for me he was preoccupied with making a sports bet.
