I smell a conspiracy theory...

Lyle Menendez was the mastermind in the murder of his parents. Not because they were abusive of him and his brother Eric as claimed, but because they named him 'Lyle'.

Makes sense. It was vengeance for the name 'Lyle'.

But then how to explain Lyle Lovett?

i'm thinkin of names for my future kids
so far i've got:
1. champion
2. subaru wrx
3. monstercock

Shorten Champion to Champ and you've got a winner. It not only reeks of victory but is also the nickname of a lake monster, thus inspiring sheer terror in people who believe in lake monsters.

The other two names are names they'd have to grow into. Great for college but not so great from pre-school thru highschool.

Have you considered Havoc? I just like the sound of it. Hell would be kinda cool, you'd be forced by law to raise hell.

or another good one is "vaginal bloodleak"

Perhaps this will help Naughty, rude hedgehogs, by Joel Veitch with Alex Veitch

I'm leaning towards Spam Purse and Axe Wound because Minge sounds wimpy.

I'm not trusting the chip counts at the moment. They aren't fluctuating with wins and losses.

3's the magic number...

Matt's out. So it's down to Scotty, Erick, and that Michael guy from Connecticut who sounds like a swell fella but I want him to lose .

It's kind of a Triquetra of poker. You've got the Scotty, the E-Dog, and the "Who the hell's this guy?" in the top three.

dimichele was in the USPC and is a very well known 2p2er fwiw


i hope scotty loses next because he's super annoying and wears too much jewelry and gel in his hair and says 'baby' a lot

1. Scotty Nguyen 6,900,000 2. Michael DeMichele 6,600,000 3. Erick Lindgren 1,500,000
That's the current count. I dunno I want a big upset, just for the heck of it, I can do another all-nighter of computer-sitting. For some reason I think Scotty owns this tournament even though Michael's nipping at his heels.

Maybe I'm bitter. Feeling like Michael's in Doyle's rightful place, as silly as that is.

I really wanted Doyle to win . I thought one of my other faves winning would make it all better, but Scotty's so close and I still wish Doyle was at that table.

Oooh it's going all topsy-turvy again. Now it's fun. Not trusting chip counts cuz it took forever for the updates to get posted so...

1. Michael DeMichele 8,800,000 2. Scotty Nguyen 4,100,000 3. Erick Lindgren 1,800,000
As you can see I got the upset I wanted. Now I gotta figure this out, is Scotty running out of steam?

1. Michael DeMichele 7,900,000 2. Erick Lindgren 3,900,000 3. Scotty Nguyen 3,000,000
Erick was down to about 900K a bunch of times and I dunno, second wind? Fluke?

I was hoping tonight would be shorter than last night...

Hope springs eternal.

From the wsop site...

Congratulations to Scotty Nguyen, 2008 $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. Champion.

It took over 13 hours, 314 hands, and countless bottles of beer for Scotty Nguyen to vanquish his seven distinguished opponents at this $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. final table. An elated Nguyen bearhugged Layne Flack, kissed his wife, and even embraced WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack in the moments after his victory. Some would say that Nguyen experienced one of the greatest "blow-ups" of all time at last year's Main Event, where he had the chip lead with 12 players to go, yet ultimately finished 11th. Coming back a year later to win arguably the most prestigious tournament in poker has got to put some of those demons to rest for the now five-time bracelet winner. "The $50K H.O.R.S.E. event is the best all around player...#1 in the world. Nobody can walk up to me and say, Scotty, you're second, baby" said Nguyen in his post-game interview. Nguyen also had kind words for runner-up Michael DeMichele. "He's a great up and coming young player. Everyone told me to watch out for him." When Jeffrey Pollack presented an emotional Nguyen with the Chip Reese Memorial Trophy, Nguyen thanked his friends, his fans, and especially his wife for their support. "This feels so good, baby. This is it!" he exclaimed with a smile.

Here's the hand.

Scotty Nguyen Wins Event #45, $50,000 H.O.R.S.E.; Michael DeMichele Eliminated in 2nd Place ($1,243,200)

Hand #314 - Scotty Nguyen Hold'em: Michael DeMichele had the button in Seat 7 and he raised. Nguyen took his time while stacking chips from a previous hand. At one pointed he said "it's gonne be all over baby." He eventually raised and DeMichele called all in. The crowd was on it's feet as the players showed: Nguyen: DeMichele: The two exchanged pleasantries and shook hands. DeMichele seemed resigned to his fate before the community cards ever hit the felt. The flop came and both players paired their ace. The crowd was relatively silent as the flop came down. There was a lengthy delay but eventually the hit the turn. DeMichele was down to his final card or Scotty Nguyen would be the champion. The crowd came alive and began to cheer. The hit the river and the crowd went wild. Nguyen and DeMichele smiled as they had an inaudible conversation. Michael DeMichele was our 2nd place finisher and will leave with $1,243,200. Scotty Nguyen gave Michael DeMichele a well-deserved congratulations. He then hugged some members of his gallery which included Layne Flack, Daniel Negreanu and Tex Barch before making his way over to his wife to show her some affection. Scotty Nguyen is our champion and will leave with $1,989,120, a coveted WSOP bracelet and the David "Chip" Reese memorial trophy.

Congrats to Scotty & a nice touch having a Chip Reese Memorial Trophy as well

Very nicely done Baby!!!

A well deserved win baby !!!!

I fell asleep . Too many technical headaches even after closing extra windows and Apps.

So happy to wake up and see that Scotty won!

Lets put it to rest. Scotty Nguyen is and has been one of the worlds top all around players. His seemingly comedic behaviour have caused people to underate him at times. But he has always come with game. So damn happy for him.

I'm very happy Scotty won. I think it's pretty cool he got his signature line in and was right on the money again.
