RE: Bear Stearns Banker Headed To Final Table Of World Series Of Poker
I really hope Steven Begleiter can find a way to win it all. He's a great story and has been a lot of fun to watch. I had actually taken a little break from watching WSOP lately, but I tuned in again last night and I remembered how addictive it is to follow, especially since I haven't played competitively the last couple of years.
Also I thought last night's montage to the song "All In" by The Grouch & Eligh with Pigeon John was fantastic...such a good combinatino of song and footage. You can watch this on YouTube at : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KOh-H5n WeU -
