Event 1 Day 1F: Gigolo In The House?

$100 + $25 No Limit Hold’Em Deep Stack

Blinds 200/400 Ante 50

The official number of entrants was 300 bringing us to 1,372 total thus far with one more day and two more flights of play tomorrow. There are 162 players left as we are about to end Level 6.

The show Gigolos on Showtime gained some notoriety from the press when it first came out. One of it’s initial stars and creative consultants is Garren James, @cowboys4angels on Twitter. Garren finished 47th in an event here at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in August taking home $1,194 for his play. He’s here again today looking to add to that total. A recent hand found him all in and in peril of being eliminated. The card he needed hit and he stood up, smiling and let out a loud “Woooooo! Tripled up!” A few hands later he won another big pot, let out another yell, and told the rest of his table “I’m getting dangerous.”
