This weekend, Vineyardwife is managing the farm. Bill is in Las Vegas at the 2007 38th Annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) No-Limit Hold'em (Event 15). The home base for the World Series of Poker 2007 is the Rio Hotel & Casino. Bill is alongside the likes of poker greats Phil Helmuth, Phil Gordon, Mike Sexton, Arnold Spee. Bill won a 2006 Portland tournament in which Arnold Spee was entered. Let's hope Bill is as cool under pressure this time around under the hot lights of vegas. This is the big time: 2,628 hopefuls entered this event, creating a prize pool of $3,587,222. Only 1 will win the 1st place prize of $637,254.
Bill is in Vegas with his cousin, Nick Fluge, who is using this event as a practice tournament for the World Series Of Poker Championships July 6-17th. Vineyardwife is monitoring the tournament http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com/tourney and cheering Bill and Nick on -- while inside awaiting the water tank to fill on the back of The Mule. This weekend, watering needs to be done in the vineyard. Rainfall has been below what is needed to keep new vines nourished. Is that a great wife? -- staying home, working outside in rain watering the new vines while her husband is eating gourmet meals and playing cards with the best of the best?
Go Bill!
