The Lull

The first lull of the day has set upon the ballroom. With several of the smaller stacks out of the way, the remaining players are playing poker. Slow and methodical poker. It's not an all-in push monkey festival like I had seen at other tournaments. It's relatively quiet in the room with the exception of the clattering of chips and the cigarette girl wandering though the tables hawking her goodies.

There are three females left in the mix at the LA Poker Classic; Kristy Gazes, An Lu, and Lori Conn.

Kristy Gazes made 2 final tables last month at the Aussie Millions in Melbourne, Australia including the $10,000 Main Event. Lori Conn is an L.A. local and casino regular who won two tournaments last year at the Bicycle Casino. An Lu plays frequently in Las Vegas and Los Angeles and cashed in two preliminary events at last year's LAPC and fnished 17th at the LAPC stud event this year.

Barry G Gets a Penalty?

Well not today. But apparently Barry Greenstein has received one, and only one, penalty during a tournament in his life. Coincidently, it was here at the Commerce. And no, he didn't drop the F-bomb. He got the penalty for being...well Barry. At the time, the felts here had some slope to them. When he went to muck his cards, they didn't quite make it over the felt mountain. In an effort to help the dealer, who was having trouble reaching the mucked cards, Barry flicked them toward the box. Unfortunately they shot into the dealer's tray, which earned Greenstein a time out. So Barry apparently got a penalty for being helpful.
