wow. blame that tilly chick

apparently, the ladies' event at the wsop is *huge*. they're into round 4 and there are still about 600 players left. also, a bunch of celebrity actresses apparently trying to emulate jennifer tilly's fabulous taste in accessories.

i know a couple of women playing in it, but no mention of them in the online updates yet. also, i'm amused that kathy liebert couldn't decide whether to play in this event or another event running and entered both. or so card player says at 14:30 pacific. (they'd previously said a PLO event, but now they've edited it to say a $1K NLHE event)

i'm kind of bummed i couldn't make it out there for this year's, but oh well.

(trivia: the userpic on this post is my chipstack from last year's)

anyone want to help run a cool fundraiser?

so, the somerville math fund has done a "scrapheap showdown" fundraiser, and they're doing so again this year. but the folks who were leading the project have had to drop out. i don't think i have the time to stand in, so i'm looking to see if someone wants to help out.

ping me if you're interested.
