Date / Time: 2005-07-07 11:39:00 Title: Alan Boston Starts Early Log: Sitting down at his table, Alan Boston began a conversation with a younger player at his table. The younger man asked Boston if it was ok to speak Swedish at the tables. Boston replied, "Yeah, it is. Just not during a hand." He also added, "You can go ahead and drop an F-bomb in Swedish though and no one will know. Better yet, teach me how to say the F-word in Swedish so I can go ahead and get it out every once in a while." :club:

A Familiar Poker Face Log: The player in seat 4 at table 128 has found a way to "mask" his emotions at the poker table . When he is in a hand he puts on a giant authentic Elmo costume head. That's right, Elmo. From Sesame Street. The T.V. show. This is going to be good.....

One of my fav. moments from last year's WSOP was when Marcel started singing "Give a little bit, give a little bit of your chips to me."Classic.
That was so funny.Marcel is one of my favorites, hope he makes the final table this year.

That's ridiculous. And stupid.If I saw that dude at my table, I may just have to punch him in the face.

because punching people in the face for wearing elmo costumes isn't ridiculous or stupid.
Speaking as a father of a two and three year old:Punching people in the face for wearing Elmo costumes is completely justified.Ray

I was actually wondering if it would be legal to wear a welding helmet at the tables to hide your entire face. I guess now I have my answer...

I completely agree. YEs, I am ridiculous as well.I would by no means punch a stranger in the face sporting an awesome elmo mask, however, if they were sitting at my poker table I just might have to .For those entertaining your kids, ofcourse they should be applauded for wearing elmo masks. For those at a poker table, I maintain that is ridiculous.

From CardPlayer.com.."I've never had this happen to me before in my life," is how Jennifer Harman's 2005 WSOP championship ends. It begins with her picking up Q-Q. The board comes Qd-Jd-10c-10d-7d, a full house for Harman, but unfortunately for her, her opponent flips over 8d-9d. A runner-runner straight flush sends one of the field's toughest players home early in day one action.
Seems as though the straight flush might've hit on the turn, doesn't it? Atleast they try.
