Default Re: 6/18 Rio gossip

I posted this after last year's WSOP -

My buddy and I stayed at the Rio July 21 - 24. TJ was playing craps there every night that we were there. The first night I watched for a while and he had a rather large stack of $100 chips in his hand and a few in the rack. He lost all of those and then moved to a different table. He reached in his pants and took out some more $100 chips. I watched a little more and then went to bed (around 2:00 AM).

Each night I watched he seemed to be playing with less chips. The last night he was using red ($5) chips. Don't know if this means he had blown all of his WSOP FT winnings.

An interesting story, my buddy always bets "don't pass" whenever he plays with TJ. He grinds it out this way to get in his hours for our comps. Last year TJ threw a 'leaner' that made my friend a winner. TJ complained and they changed their decision and re-rolled the dice. So my friend got very angry and said that was total BullS... and that they only did it because he was a famous poker player. He got very loud and almost got into a pushing match with TJ (who is still a large guy). Eventually, they kicked my buddy out of the Rio.
