Delaney Looking for Kryptonite?
Former Crown Poker Room manager Danny McDonagh has joined the festivities, immediately heading for the open bottles of champagne. McDonagh worked here for many years before joining the Asia Pacific Poker Tour as Tournament Director a few years ago. He's also been named the Tournament Director of the recently launched Australia - New Zealand Poker Tour.

At the table there hasn't been much action to speak of. The two players chopped a pot when each showed down eight-seven, but otherwise continue to trade the big blind back and forth. I wish there were a way to make it sound more interesting than that, but sometimes a spade's a spade.
A Hand to the Showdown!
An interesting side note: Eric Assadourian is in Wardak's corner along with the Jim Beam Party Crew. He's been offering Wardak words of encouragement in between hands and giving him generalized, heads-up meta game tips.
