I saw Layne Flack hand Shawn Sheikan a significant amount of $100 bills at the Rio

Also if Bicyclekick can comment, some older guy in a big LHE game challenged a slim asian kid in a black hoodie to play heads-up angrily and the asian kid kinda put him down, it was sorta entertaining and BK was sitting on an infinite amount of green chips and could maybe comment unless its retardedly standard.

That's paul and han su (spelled wrong i'm sure). Paul was messed up on coke and alcohol he said he always gets like that. It is retardedly standard. He always challenges everyone and everyone puts their money where their mouth is but unlike last year, he's just all talk. He was calling everyone que ers and fa ggots and other thinsg and just being belligerent. It's amazing how much the bellagio and pro's put up with when a guy is going off. Some guy brought him a glass of whine and he chugged it real quick cause he said he'll get kicked out if he has a drink at the table. I don't know the details of that, tho.

Han su went off on him tho and it was really funny cause it really backed paul down. He said something like "if you want [censored] to get real paul it can get real really quick. We can settle this cause I'm sick of you talking [censored]" or something. It was funny how carmen escorted han su out of there...she 'scooted' him to the high limit section. Just cracked me up. She handled it well.

Same thing happened last year with Paul and Newhouse.

They were playing 400-800, and Paul challenged Mark heads up. The two went to the Venetian to "hide" from the rest of the high limit crowd, in order to avoid others from seeing and joining their HU game.

After a short time, Bryan Micon happened to walk through the Venetian room. He spied the Paul/Newhouse game, called me and neverwin, and suddenly the game became 4-handed. Paul objected at first, but finally shut his mouth and continued the game. Well, he didn't shut his mouth, but at least he didn't quit.

Saw him playing mostly 10-20NL in the Bellagio, but I sat next to him for a while playing 5-10NL. He was very quiet, respectful and appeared to be a nice guy.

Today I played with Dutch Boyd. He acted very very slowly at all times and has definitely gained alot of weight. He was polite in the fact that he signed a few autographs while playing, but other than that he was hugely anti-social and didn't even respond the few times I said "nice hand" to him. He really seems to be in his own world. While he was there, Sheets came by and gave him what looked like a roll of $10k. I'm guessing he's staking him.

Here's a guideline for you.

Player X is playing a tournament, and
Player X is not going to win the tournament, therefore:

Player X is staked by Sheets and Bax.

Player Y is playing a tournament, and
Player Y is going to win the tournament, therefore:

Player Y is staked by Timex.

Black Teddy continues to rape the 100 game at the Bellagio. This is according to Teddy.

Justin....that.....was.......awesome.....

I've had some of the funniest conversations of my life with Teddy. My favorite one ended with me turning down his offer to come over to his house and smoke pot with him. This came roughly 25 minutes after he told me the government watches him because of his previous involvement in the drug world.

black teddy gossip.

rio 1-2 game. teddy buys chips from some semi-drunk guy. player slides down a rack with four stacks of greens. nobody thinks anything of it. ten minutes later, semi-drunk guy says "wait a minute, you gave me $400 and i gave you four stacks of green ($2000), what was i thinking? the whole table goes wtf??? (the two of them were standing up from the table when the money was exchanged so none of us knew it was off.) teddy looks around confused and then hems and haws with "what, hmmmm yeah, i think it might be a little too much here."

later he's talking to the person next to him and says "yeah of course i knew it was off." and then without the slightest bit of irony says "but you know, if at the end of the night -- if he had been nice to me the whole night and if i didn't lose the money and he had asked for it back... i would have given it back to him. honestly. i wouldn't do the guy like that."

i walked into the men's room at the rio and saw a dealer picking his nose with one hand while holding his hose with the other. he then left without washing his hands so many of the cards in the ladies event will probably feature boogers and/or smegma.

this also reminds me, i *think* i saw dutch boyd in the Rio, and I say think because if it is him, he has gained like at least 50 pounds. it was like you stuck dutch's head on nath's body (no offense to nath, he's always been a lovable big dude).

I haven't always been overweight... last year's WSOP did a lot to push that along. But, uh, other than that, your description is pretty accurate.

I busted Nath in the nightly $1000 crapshoot multi at the Rio. He's crazy and fun to play with.

Haha, that was you? Awesome. Yeah, by the end I was kind of sick of the structure so I was just jamming when it folded to me (and drinking).

I unfortunately have no crazy gossip, yet. But I'll keep my ears peeled. People tell me things, often for no good reason.
