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

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 looked in the mirror a few times at the Rio.


It was nice.

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

I was playing 15/30 in Aruba with Karina Jett, and there was possibly the drunkest person Ive ever seen playing at our table who naturally capped every hand.

He was just blabering incoherently and we all did our best to try and keep him at the table (he had deep pockets).....

He muttered something to Karina (I dont even remember what it was only that it was not offensive)....and Chip (who was railbirding) started flipping out and yelling at the drunk....

The drunk was as confused as the rest of us at this guy yelling at him, but Chip had to be restrained from attacking this guy.....

The drunk guy left shortly after this little brew ha ha....Thanks a lot chip....for running of our ATM.....

Karina Jett was pretty friendly.

I played $2-$5 at The Venetian with Kenna James while he was waiting for the bigger game to start. He was supercool to everyone at the table. People asked a few questions and he was nice to everyone. Then he started chatting it up with the guy to his left. I was on his right so I was listening to what they were saying. They talked for a while about different things, mostly poker talk and Kenna was basically being the gracious pro rapping with a fan. About 20 min. into the conversation the guy goes, "So, what do you do for a living?". Only Kenna and I heard it and he didn't answer the guy. He just had a confused look on his face. It was pretty awkward because the dude asked again, a little put off by no response. I thought I should say something but I didn't want to make a big deal about it and make it worse. Finally, Kenna tells him that he's a poker pro and I asked the guy if he watches poker on T.V. He said, "No I live in Italy." That ended the conversation and Kenna left the table a few hands later.
