It seems like everyone has started the World Series on good terms, with less beef on ‘Poker Twitter’ than there was at Daniel Negreanu and Amanda Leatherman’s wedding. Maybe that’ll change in seven weeks time, but it’s hard not to smile when you see others so happy, and Day #2 of the 50th annual WSOP has continued in that vein.
Everyone wants to get in on the action as soon as they fly into Vegas, and Randy Lew is no different, having played the $10k Super-Turbo Bounty Event. ‘Nanonoko’ is pretty excited about the whole Vegas journey overall:
