So the WPT is in LA right now and my stepfather won an online tournament to get in. He goes to gamble before the tournament and makes friends with some NHL player on strike (I don't know the sport, McCarty for Detroit or something like that), then he ends up buddying up with Lou Diamond Phillips (I don't know how, maybe he kisses everyone's ass) and he and his fiends to get to be extras in Lou's new movie about poker. They are players sitting at the table until he goes off to the better table, lol. He said Lou wished him luck and is the nicest guy ever btw.

So the tournament starts and at one point he is doing pretty well but on a hand that would have made him the chip leader the other guy shit out and got the 9 he needed on the last card. Yea I know there are 50 stories like that per tournament, thats not the cool part. But later Phil Helmuth gets moved to his table. By now he is drunk and makes fun of Phil's short stack and offers to buy Phil a beer, only to say he forgot his wallet and asked Phil to spot him $20, lol. In some hand a guy raises, then phil does all in, then a guy calls, and then my stepfather goes all in. Then the guy who called folds. The first guy who raised has A5, Phil has A6, and my stepfather has 8-8. The guy who folded congratulates my stepfather, tells him he had an Ace too, so phil starts to pack his shit up but the fourth ace flopped, Phil won with A6.

Oh yea, and he doesn't want to come back to Indiana now. He thinks he is going to average meeting 4 nice celebrites a day in LA and be friends with all of them
