Thought we'd try a thread dedicated to WSOP & Vegas based Tweets during the WSOP. Please feel free to add Tweets as you see them, & hopefully we'll get some comments & replies too.
For starters.....
Comments
This is from Doyle Brunson's son, Todd, who owns a few eateries in Vegas.

It’s day two of my World Series of Poker at home in Ealing. I waited for 42 minutes to let myself into the spare bedroom this morning and I paid the Mrs £25 to wear some tight shorts and bring me a burger and a milkshake in a brown paper bag with my name on to my desk for lunch.
Many times, yes, we had him on the Sky Poker TV Show once, & he was typically "forthright" about the Sky Poker players. The problem with that is that it amounts to Sky Poker humiliating their Clients, which is not ideal. Then something went off with Security in the studios, & he got banned for life from the Osterley Studios.
He used to play at DTD from time to time too. He was on an upswing at the time & he got himself a nice new Bentley, & so he would go outside & sit in it during the breaks.
He used to be a little socially awkward, "ill-adjusted", but I think it's mostly an act these days. He insults folks but it's just bants really.
I find him hugely amusing these days to be honest, especially when he calls opponents "pigeons" or gives it the "init" stuff. Love watching him. I strongly recommend Following him on Twitter too.
His real name, believe it or not, is Luke Luke Schwartz-Orbach.
If you don't mind a bit of foul language, have a watch of this, where Like disses Doug Polk. The interviewer is Laura Cornelius who was a Sky Poker Presenter from time to time. Com stuff.
That interview is great. He really doesn't like Doug Polk does he hahaha.
The big 50 tourney
You probably know that the "Big 50", which had about 26,000 runners, has caused monster queues at the WSOP, with folks queuing for 4 or 5 hours to get registered.
So that's the context of these 2 Tweets from Jeff Kimber.....
Another interesting tweet from Jeff using different colours for the same value of chips.
Ha, excellent, & could not happen to a nastier piece of work. He makes Chino Rheem look positively angelic.
