It’s fun to be back in London. I was a student at the London School of Economics in 99-2000. The city looks pretty much the same. It’s definitely much more expensive. Some of the players are staying in the Sanderson Hotel (or something like that)… the cost is min $1000/night. ERik123 says his room is $1500/night. I have the cheapest room of any poker player, forty pounds per night. I’m staying in a hotel that I lived in for four months in 1999. I booked Kenny Tran in the hotel and he left me a message….’what the f8ck, man, is this some kind of joke?’ No, man, it’s London, get used to it. So he moved to St Martins Lane, five hundo a night.
The poker has been OK. I finsihed close to the bubble in both the HORSE and PLO events. That was too much poker in four days. I’m still in the Main Event with 15000 chips. There was some horrendous play in the tournament. One guy at my table laid down a big full house in a spot where there was simply no way it was not good. Farzad Bonyadi said. “If you put a gun to my head in that spot and said, ‘if you are wrong, i’m going to shoot you’, i still would have called”.
