Layne Flack, Todd Brunson and Serge Ravitch
Shane Schleger, Nath Pizzolatto and Vivek Rajkumar
Thayer Rasmussen and Jose Canseco
The other night was a bit crazy when we were about to film our first Poker Netcast and Two Rags home game. We were expecting a few experienced players but the line up ended being much better than expected.
I first answered the door to Jose Canseco who is every bit his size. He showed up on a motorcycle and in full on motorcycle gear. When he walked through the front door, he had to duck as to not hit his head. I swear he is almost 7 feet tall and 4 feet wide. He is HUGE and he is actually a really nice guy and he's not a bad poker player. He's gotten much better at poker over this past year to every body's surprise.
10 minutes later the door bell rings. I open up the front door and standing there was none other than Todd Brunson and Layne Flack. I was surprised to see them since the WPT LA Poker Classic at the Commerce Casino was to start the following day and I just figured that all of the big players would be at the casino and not playing in a home game but that was not the case with Todd and Layne. We were happy to have them play in our game.
As they were coming into the house the rest of the players showed up; I didn't recognize any of the younger players as they normally play online poker.
Here was the final 10 player line up:
Shane Schleger
Nath Pizzolatto
Vivek Rajkumar
Mike Watson
Shaun Deeb
Layne Flack
Todd Brunson
Serge Ravitch
Thayer Rasmussen
Jose Canseco
The game started around 6pm and everybody left around midnight. It was a GREAT tournament with monster pots, bad beats, great poker and everybody had a good time.
You'll be surprised to see who busted out first, how long Todd and Layne lasted vs the young online players, how Jose Canseco play AND who actually won the event. Every hand was recorded through the special hole card cameras, as the players busted out they sat with our commentators (Scott and Kyle from Two Rags) etc...
You can watch this on Poker Netcast
in a few weeks once the new site is up and running........
We'll see what I fetch next time....Pack Leader
