From pokernews:

[ QUOTE ]
Tournament is Paused

Players are hiking with sherpa guides to the TV tower room.

[/ QUOTE ]

This made me laugh.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm lost, what does this mean? They are going to do interviews? Whats a sherpa?

[/ QUOTE ]

No, the TV table has been in a seperate tower from where the regular tourney is being held. It's about a 5 minute walk from where the regular tourney room is and then up an elevator to the room.

From Wikipedia:


[ QUOTE ]
The term 'sherpa' (the preferred spelling with a lower case first letter) is also incorrectly used to refer to local people, typically men, employed as porters or guides for mountaineering expeditions in the Himalayas. They are highly regarded as experts in mountaineering and their local terrain, as well as having good physical endurance and resilience to high altitude conditions. However, a sherpa is not necessarily a member of the Sherpa ethnic group. A female sherpa is known as a "Sherpani".

Jonas Buskas, Full Tilt Poker Qualifier, got all in preflop against Julius Coleman. The players turned up:

Jonas Buskas AdQd
Julius Coleman AhKd

The board came 10d6h2s4s3d and Coleman's K kicker was good enough to take the pot. Jonas Buskas went home in 11th place with $120,000.

So, Gobbomom... Can you possibly be prepared for the onslaught of attention about to come on when the rest of the poker community figures out your son is one of the best poker players in the world?
He is so well spoken, honest and polite, he will absolutely soar. I'm sure the next few days/months/years will be quite unique and exciting, enjoy the trip !!

Still a long way to go. Confidence is good but lets not go overboard and crown him before its over. No matter what happens he has played great. No need to set the bar as 1st or nothing IMO.
