Several newly arriving team members have commented on the poker here at the Crown Casino. The "Las Vegas" Room is very roomy for the players, lots of space to move around and plenty of viewing perchs for the railbirds. Dr. Pauly noted his surprise and appreciation of the truly nice casino overall. Expect more from Pauly here in the tournament reports and in his daily column on PokerNews and the audio and video feeds will be coming soon too!

Shannon cracks Kings

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Paul Khoury couldn't believe his eyes when he got it all in with Shannon Elizabeth holding Pocket Kings Vs Shannons AQ. An ace on the flop doubled Shannon up, leaving Paul still with 8k and a story to tell.

"She cracked my Kings"

To which she replys:

"That's the first thing I've cracked in a while"!!
