More News and Notes

– Jennifer Tilly‘s elimination 1:19 into today was easily the earliest we’ve seen here amongst the bounty players. Yesterday, it took around three hours for John Hennigan to go down.

– Is it a co-incidence that Phil Laak got all-in so quickly after girlfriend Tilly’s elimination? Maybe not. It’s just not the same when you’ve got to go it alone.

– Like the table of Gabe Thaler, David Matthew, Daniel Alaie and Michael Binger wasn’t tough enough, they just added shooting star Gus Hansen and Alan Goehring

– Victor Ramdin, Layne Flack, Lee Markholt and Tuna Lund have been joined by Layne Flack and Tim Phan

– Nick Shulman and Hasan Habib are amongst the other late arrivals.

– Mark Newhouse is sitting to the immediate right of online pro Ray Dehkharghani. After Newhouse’s well-publicized falling out with Brandi Hawbaker, ‘Ray D’ was amonsgt the players who took the greatest advantage of Newhouse’s emotional freefall, taking Newhouse for six figures in heads-up matches. Mark has since straightened things out, showing major profits through February and March. Might be time for a little revenge.
