The third day of the four "Day One" sessions of the Main Event brought me to tables with a few more celebrity players. At the first table I pushed into, well known pro Liz Liu was in seat 9 on my immediate right. The ESPN crew twice came over to video play at the table but Liz seemed to be card dead and didn't play a hand during the taping.
Tiffany Michelle (pictured) was playing in seat 8 when I pushed into Table Orange 38. She played tight but made big bets when she entered a hand. Tiffany doubled up against a player in seat 6 and then a few hands later she called the same player's "All In" raise with pocket Aces which held up to bust him out of the tournament.
My last table of the evening saw Alex Jacob (also pictured) at table 40. No hands of note but a player called him Curly because of his large Fro and Alex said, "It's Alex." and after introductions the player reminded Alex that he (the player) had been busted by him in a tournament just a few days ago. In 2006 Alex Jacob won the U.S. Poker Championship which was televised from the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City.
