Today is the big poker day for me and I am pumped to play in the WSOP in Vegas. I had an early night which is good prep and I'm about to get picked up to head to the Rio to register and sit down to play.
Yesterday I played in the Ante up for Africa tournament and made it to the final 30 players. Caught up with Jason Alexander, Charles Barkley, Nelly and Matt Damon who was recently in South Africa when I played in the IPL, he wanted to get to a game but he was shooting a movie and couldn't.
On Wednesday night we had our 888 launch party at the Kingpin suite at The Palms - the room had a two lane bowling alley and pool table which was awesome.
I am pumped to make Day 2 of the WSOP. I'll have to fly to London tomorrow for an exhibition cricket match and then will return on Tuesday morning for Day 2 - any offers of a private plane are welcome!

this is not about poker, but cricket. This morning Nasser Hussain said he wondered if Hilfenhaus wanted Siddle to get the last wicket. Knowing Aussies like you, I bet he did, because you play for the team, not yourselves. The fact that Nasser even thought of the question sums up one of the reasons Australia usually beat us. You are team men, we are not.Can you mention this on Sky.
Best wishes and thanks for the memories.

I hear you have renewed your marriage vows with Simone..remember it really is NOT a re-marriage but a renewing of COVENANT MARRIAGE vows even though you may have been legally divorced. For once a person is married it is NOT over till a spouse dies. Only God ends a marriage through the death of a spouse. CONGRATULATIONS...Please be faithful to her and her ALONE till death do you part. Biblical marriage web sites: www.cadz.net www.wisereaction.org www.praisepowerprayertemplect.org/JesusIsOurShepherdNational.html “Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet [is] she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. “ Malachi 2:14 KJV The Holy Bible

Warnie, please consider coming out of retierment for the rest of the Ashes series. The Aussie attack just isn’t getting the job done (apart from the Hilf). We need you!!!
Good luck with all your poker as well!
