Druff & Friends Show - 06/24/2013 - So Close, Yet So Far Away

Druff's exciting run in the $5k WSOP Limit event, where he finished 5th, is the main subject of this show. Chinamaniac guest-hosts. Druff discusses certain hands, the makeup of the table, and criticizes the 30-minute-delated holecard camera, which he feels changes the integity of the game. We talk about David "ODB" Baker's overly critical commentary about Druff while announcing the action on ESPN 3, and the reasons behind his anti-Druff bias. Erick Lindgren won a bracelet and $600k, but will he pay anyone? Druff talks about a brief feud he had with user JSTAT regarding some comments Druff made about older poker players. Matt Glantz wrote an opinion piece on eliminating the $2500-$5000 WSOP events, and we give our opinion on it. An update is given on the condition of poker player Kevin Boudreau, who had an aneurysm on June 14. We give the sad news that an 86-year-old WSOP dealer was killed by a car while crossing the street. Druff and China give some tips involving the Rio hotel in Las Vegas, where the WSOP is held. badguy23 calls in, but is depressed because he lost a lot of sportsbets earlier in the evening.
