Any details on the game mentioned in DN's blog?

"Well, I quit at 2:00am when the game finally broke and only one player outside of the original 9 played. It was a mixed bag of players, from celebrities to Hollywood big wigs...
Erick Lindgren
Kenny Tran
...I ended up winning almost 1300 bets in the game! That’s a huge win in a 16 hour session."

Glad to hear he has more money to lose on the golf course.

"He called out my cards (as well as many other players on the day) in a bizarre situation that’s either extremely lucky or super advanced. I won’t share with you the “why” he put me on the following hand, but here it was: The flop was Jh 5s 3d. A player in front of me bet into me in a five way pot after raising before the flop and I called. Kenny, right then and there, put me on 5-7. The turn was a Jack, my opponent bet again and this time I raised him. He folded… I had exactly 5-7! That might not seem all that amazing in and of itself, but if you watched him do it over and over, you’d see that it wasn’t a fluke. He picked up on something and his “radar” was dead on."

Lol at being able to call out exact two cards.

Does anyone else know much about Kenny Tran? Players at Commerce tells me that he's the best players in Commerce but it seems like he's well respected in Vegas also. Anyone know how he started out?

I've played live 20/40 to 100/200 NL with Kenny Tran before, he's done some really good stuff, and made a few not so good plays, but never seen him do anything real crazy except the time when he went apeshit bluffing clownfish on Cash Poker and showed a big bluff, overall not the fish at the table obv?

Thought this was interesting:

" Not a nasty comment all day to a player or a floor man, but most importantly, not one dealer ever experienced even the faintest amount of verbal abuse from anyone in the game and that was a pleasant change of pace. "


Guess some players in the Big Game give the dealers a lot of crap, then? (Seem to remember something a while back about pissed off players throwing their cards at the dealers to try and cut their hands?) You think they'd be more sanguine since they're mostly so experienced at high stakes...

I was at the Bellagio playing on Saturday afternoon, DN was playing in the only game in Bobby's Room at the table closest to the glass. Lindrgen, Tobey Maguire, and Jeffrey Katzenberg were also people playing that I recognized.

Nikki Hilton played at my table ($2/5 NL) for about 2 hours. I asked her nicely to stop talking/IMing on her Iphone while she was in a hand b/c she was making the game super slow. She just glared at me and finally stop when I asked the dealer to declare her hand dead a few hands later. I didnt even realize it was her until the guy next to me told me.

supposedly tobey maguire absolutely crushes hollywood home games. im sure thats who negreanu was talking about when he referred to the guy making the great plays. i would love to see him on HSP, i would put my money on him against a lot of guys.
