WSOP

We stopped by the Rio for lunch to peek in at the World Series of Poker which takes over a huge section of the convention space every year. Today was day 2A of the tournament, so those who survived the 1A and 1B days are playing today.

We went by the ESPN featured table and saw a couple of familiar faces. You may remember this guy from my wife's favorite TV show - Seinfeld:

Yes, it's Jason Alexander, otherwise known as George Costanza. He was seated to the left of Greg "Fossil-Man" Raymer, a champion of this event a few years ago. Tough spot.At the nearby 2nd feature table was another celebrity - Jesus:I should clarify that a bit - it's Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, another former champ of the event.

Still lots of players left. We sat in the featured table bleachers for awhile to watch the action. Poker's not as interesting to watch when you can't see what the players are holding.

Now, on to shopping at Caeser's Palace and maybe a stop at the Mirage.
