Johnny Chan and Raymond Davis Seated Together
Johnny Chan and Raymond Davis are now seated together at Table 196 and there's no shortage of trash-talking (or ESPN presence) at their table. One of their opponents is playing some serious "Kill Phil"-style poker, moving all-in almost any time he's in a pot. "You're playing great, man. Just keep moving all in. Someone's gonna catch you," quipped Davis as he was forced to fold another hand. "You know, it worked for Moneymaker back in 2003," said another opponent with a laugh.

Anyone do a double take upon seeing Murder Inc's Irv Gotti in the top 5?

[/ QUOTE ]

Man, given what I've heard about his connections, winning more money and inviting greater scrutiny might not be the best thing for him. Murder Inc was supposed to be tied to some pretty nasty dudes (thus the great irony in Ja Rule turning into a pop star)

[/ QUOTE ]

Irv Gotti has done decently at at least the last 2 WSOPs so it's not a huge surprise.

As far as the dudes he was connected to, yeah, Murder Inc basically shut down because they were funneling crack and murder for hire related profits through the company.

Gambling winnings = good way to clean it up [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Good luck to Irv though.

Also the reason why Ja and 50 got in the huge beef a few years back (Murder Inc's connects were the ones that shot 50, according to him). Not sure how many people that don't really follow rap music know that?

John D'Agostino Has Been Eliminated
Your classic race situation--D'Agostino had Jacks, his opponent A-Q. A Queen hit on the flop and D'Agostino's Main Event is at an end.

With two limpers in front of him, Armarillo Slim pushed all-in for 20,000 with A-K and was called by an opponent holding pocket tens. Slim didn't improve by the river and was eliminated.

um... did i miss something or did he push 100 BBs over 2 limps and TT called ?
