The Starbucks by the WSOP – note the line
Ok, next I am going to post some photos of notable poker professionals playing this early afternoon at the WSOP Main Event. Can you name them? Do so in the comments.
Off Flap goes back to the WSOP. Dinner break is almost over. Flap will help you out in the morning if you cannot name all of the players.

Flap, I’m so jealous! I’ve been into poker for a long time and would love to play in the WSOP. Unfortunately, working on a high profile campaign and having two small kids makes that more than difficult. The Rio is our home base casino and where we stay 99% of the time we’re in Vegas. Love that place. One of these days I’ll make the trip out for the big tourney. Great pics.

Uh.. Why do these girls in the last picture have red eyes? That is so freaky. And great pics, BTW.

Thanks for the kind words. Mrs. Flap and I have been coming out to the WSOP for a few years now and at least for some of the Main Event.
We both enjoy playing poker.

The red eyes is because I am a lousy photographer and did not photoshop the “red eye” out. My time has been limited and just wanted to post some photos.
Brad Booth is the player with the two ladies. The Canadian pro player whose nickname is “Yukon” has already busted out during Day 2B.

Awesome post Flap,
Those photo’s really let you feel as if you’re at the event. Living overseas I’ve never been at a WSOP personally, nor any poker tournament even close to that size. It must be pretty awe-inspiring.
Anyways, I can identify Johnny Chan and Shaun Sheiky and I’ve got two more of them on the tip of my tongue but can’t quite name them arrrgh. So I won’t cheat and use Google hehe, maybe they’ll come to me just now…
Acting For Real
Wow! this is a really nice blog. I loved reading it.
Thanks!
