WPT Championship

My buddy Tony Z is playing in the WPT championship at the Bellagio and is doing well after day one. He started today with 110,000 chips and is second big stack at his table to John D'Agostino, a very, very strong young pro. He's updating on his blog at the end of each day so if you want to follow the action, check it out at http://vegasbaebae.blogspot.com/

I played a couple 10/20 tables for a couple hours this afternoon but really wasn't feeling and ran very bad, lost about $500. I don't think I want to play anymore today. I do have a full day going though. I made a bet with a few of my friends that I could eat 4 hot dogs and buns in 1 minute 20 seconds, so we set that up for 7:00 and at 9:00 I have an intramural Softball game. Probably not a great idea to enter a food eating contest right before an athletic event, but we'll see how it goes. While we are on the topic, I had a very interesting discussion with my roommates the other day about another kind of eating contest. One of my roommates told me that he would eat nothing but dry dog food and water for 1 week for $5,000. I said I don't think he could do it, maybe for a couple days, but not a whole week. It would be an interesting bet, but I'm not interested in giving him a free-roll at 5k for eating dog food. I donate enough money to him on the golf course. I thought it was a humorous and interesting proposition....
