They JUST started the final table of the $25,000 buy in tournament at the Bellagio. The Travel channel is there of course taping the show. The six players are listed below with three of them being BARGE players! I have known Russ Rosenblum since 1998 when I played in my first BARGE. Russ also finished 6th in the World Series of Poker $10,000 buy in event in 2002 when Robert Varkonyi won.

I'm in an AIM chat room right now that another BARGE player set up & we are getting hand by hand reports on the action! There is another guy in the Bellagio tournament room with a cell phone who reports the hand as it is being played & then another person types in what he says to our chat room. Almost as good as being there. Andy - Las Vegas
