WhiskyRiver 0 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 So much for the exclusively playing at the Wynn. There must be something in that agreement I don't get. Anyone know? Link to post Share on other sites
2bthebest 2 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 "Immediately after getting knocked out I headed straight for the poker room to play in the $4000-$8000 mixed game. It was the usual crew, Doyle, Chip, Ivey, Lyle Berman, David Benyamine, Jennifer, and Steve Weiss." Link to post Share on other sites

BigFish 0 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Wynn Las Vegas will have a new high-tech waiting list in its 25-table poker room, Wynn Las Vegas President Marc Schorr said Monday.Instead of making poker players sign up on a paper list or a chalkboard, Wynn's list will be computerized. Players can sign up and wait in their rooms or in the casino for a page telling them their seat is open."Why should we have him standing there?," Schorr asked.The poker room will have a solid VIP section for big-money games.Canadian poker star Daniel Negreanu has been signed as the room's ambassador; he'll spend at least 200 days a year in the room, Schorr said http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/.../518301909.htmlThis was from an article by the Las Vegas Sun, doubt this will be even close to accurate.

nutzbuster 7 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 There are plenty of rumors but I have never read anywhere that stated that DN can't play at Bellagio, especially the Big Game.But only DN knows for sure, right?Best... Link to post Share on other sites
elkang 0 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 He's supposed to play exclusively at Wynn except for poker tournaments, but there are exceptions.I for one was extremely glad to see him at Bellagio.Normally, you are not allowed to photos at Bellagio cash games - but I got an exception from Scott G. who was in a good mood.

I'll take the wager up to $500 that he's close to that.All I know is that when I'm at the Wynn (which is only twice a month) I usually see DN. In fact, it seems I see the poker room manager less! (because she's in meetings and stuff outside of the room)Also, the Wynn is gearing up for tournaments (but still won't give me any details on any of the plans despite my swearing to secrecy). I know that they have the tourney chips ready, and I assume they are getting the staff and all the ogranization ready and right. They did a great job (i.e. LIVE poker tourney on TV!) for the FullTiltPoker.net tourney and that took months. I know that the Bellagio doesn't appear worried, but in 5-6 years I'd be concerned. The Wynn is still a relatively small casino and hotel. But, it is clear that growth is planned for. Link to post Share on other sites

three2 0 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Daniel was gracious enough to pose for a picture with me after his Friday poker session ended at 11am. Unfortunately, I don't know how to insert a pic on this post, or else you could all see my pretty face. Thanks, Daniel! Link to post Share on other sites
