Are they going to move to Binions tomorrow?

[/ QUOTE ]

No.

Binion's has no association with the World Series of Poker anymore since Harrah's bought it, stripped it of everything of value, including its very name, and dumped the empty shell off to whoever would take it.

Harrah's bought it strictly for the WSOP name.. if they hadn't bought it, the WSOP would have died with that hotel since the owner (Bennie's daughter?) was stealing money from employee's pension funds and tax-evading....

They made it to 27 90 minutes ahead of my prediction. My prediction was jokingly based on the lack of postflop play in the last few days and the all-in shoving, and I guessed too much time.

Anyone think that maybe, just maybe these idiots slow down at some point?

18 eliminations to go tomorrow, current average M is just over 27.

I'm not even sure what the hell happened that it went this quickly anyway...so I'm going with no, we will be down to 9 tomorrow in 5 hours.

They'll probably have recouped their investment by next year.

Sad for the Horseshoe, though.

I'm not sensitive at all. I'm just not one to let the stupid part of the human race bring the rest of us down.

Laughter brings us all down.

That's right. Because when we have idiot posters like Bob Sacamano, (hmm 270+ posts in 13 days, that you Karpinski?), the correct thing to do is to deride anyone who questions their poor taste.

No, never assume stupidity will turn to genius overnight. M means nothing to most of the players left. (Rizen, Cunningham, Lisandro, the other two 2+2ers excluded)
