Our First Bit of Controversy
Raymond Rahme and one opponent were in a pot that went to the river. At showdown, the board read     . Rahme"s opponent opened   and "queens and eights" was called. Rahme put his cards face down on the table and started sliding them towards the dealer. Just as the dealer took them and put them into the muck, Rahme grabbed one of the cards back and opened it, revealing an eight. He protested that he had trip eights and that the pot was rightfully his. The dealer told him he couldn"t win the pot with only one live card, and with his other card in the muck, there was nothing to be done but award the pot to Rahme"s opponent. A floor was called, who made the same ruling. A second floor was called, and then an upper-level floor was also summoned to the table. Rahme has been vociferous in his objection that the pot should be his, but we suspect he is going to lose this argument.

Funny how people always pick the famous names that they know..... who was the last pro (or even famous amateur) to win the WSOP ME??  I suspect this year will be no different, and some unknown person will become an overnight poker name.

I fancy one of the big guns this year. Narrowing it down to 3 I"d have a stab at Esfandiari, Lederer or Ivey.

Do we happen to know if Andy Black is out there?  Having seen his reaction to winning the premier league, would dread to think what he would do if he won the ME!!
