Some posts on the BLOG will baffle anyone who doesn’t gamble, others will baffle anyone who does, but please feel free to post any comments or questions. That’s “free” in the sense that they may be deleted immediately by the moderator if she’s unamused.
Victoria’s tournament results, some tournament footage and strategy advice, appear on the POKER page.
The COLUMNS page is updated weekly with Victoria’s new columns in The Observer and GQ.
If you got here accidentally after googling “pornography”, “gambling” and “chocolate”, that will make sense on the BOOKS page.

Big Hands:
Brian Rast Eliminates a Player
A player moved all in for 4,450 on a board reading 9872. Brian Rast made the call. Rast tabled the QQ while his opponent exposed the Q10. Rast was fading a number of outs to eliminate his opponent. The J on the river filled one the draws for Rast’s opponent. Rast was down to 38,000 after the hand.
Kristy Gazes With the Knockout
Kristy Gazes got a short-stacked opponent all in preflop and showed QQ against her opponent’s AQ.
The flop ran 102K, giving her opponent a straight draw for more outs. The turn brought the 10 and only a jack or an ace on the river could save her opponent. Instead, the 4 came and Gazes held on for the knockout. She had around 34,000 after the hand.
Kling Looking Good, Chipping Up
Lauren Kling called a bet of 3,550 from her opponent on a flop of AJ7. Both players checked the 9 on the turn, and when the 10 landed on the river Kling’s opponent bet 6,000.
Kling raised to 17,000, sending her opponent into the tank for some time. He eventually folded and Kling saw her stack grow to around 50,000.
Boatman Soars Up The Leaderboard
Entering the action late, Barny Boatman called his opponent’s all in bet on a board of J84K2. Their hands:
Boatman: JJ
Opponent: KJ
Boatman raked a nice pot and is now one of the chip leaders on day 1c with 140,000.
Vicky Coren Eliminated by Big Slick
Vicky Coren got her short stack all in preflop against the player in seat 5. Their hands:
Coren: JJ
Opponent: AK
It was a coin flip situation, but the first card out wasn’t good for Coren. The flop came KQ9, pairing her opponent and leaving her in need of another jack or a ten for a straight. It wasn’t meant to be, as the 7 hit on the turn and the 3 completed the board, eliminating Coren.
Coren was unable to cash at the 2010 WSOP. Follow her on twitter.
Madsen Survives For The Moment

The player in seat 5 raised to 675 preflop and two players called from late position. The action was then on Jeff Madsen on the button and he moved all in for 6,700.
Seat 5 then reshoved to isolate Madsen and the other two callers mucked. Here were their hands:
Madsen: AK
Seat 5: AK
Both players had the same hand but Madsen needed to fade clubs. The board ran out 87254 and Madsen survived his all in with a chop. He was at 7,800 after the hand.
Pavilion Room Update
