Cricket in Las Vegas!
- Jul
- 4
Had a bit of big night on Tuesday with all the 888 crew but it was early to rise for all of us as we had a short cricket match at Sunset Park in Vegas.
At about 10am it was already nearly 40 degrees but we played against the Las Vegas cricket team. It came down to the last ball, but team 888 came through and beat the Las Vegas Cricket club. It was great fun and it is really good to see that cricket is being played in the USA. They tell me there are 45 cricket teams in Los Angeles! Check out this video that PokerNews did about the cricket
After the cricket it was time for the Ante Up for Africa charity poker event at the Rio. I met Jason Alexander who played George in Seinfeld as well as Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Shannon Elizabeth was on my table along with actress turned poker pro, Jennifer Tilley.
Unfortunately I busted out about 1.5 hours in.... but I plan on doing much better in the main event. Today is taking it easy by the pool before the big one tomorrow.

Shane, I am from England. Just got married in Canada, and back now. I really want to see you make a come back, please please please make an ASHES RETURN, we need you to keep running as legend of spin until you drop dead! We really want to see you keep taking wickets, and continue the combat between yourself and Kevin Pieterson.
Come on mate, for Austrailia, for the Cricket, for you, and for your fans, and for Glenns late Wife.
Warm regards Emile
