Marsha Waggoner

Posted in Poker at 4:06 am by synergy

I first met Marsha at the WSOP and must admit that until I met her I didn’t realise she was an expatriate Aussie, having moved to the US more than 30 years ago! To her credit she has retained a bit of her accent, us Aussies tend to lose them real fast!

We did this interview in her room at the Crown Towers and also had the pleasure of meeting husband Kenna James who will be interviewed in an upcoming podcast!

Billy The Croc Interview

Posted in Poker at 8:59 pm by synergy

Among the thronging crowd at the 2007 Aussie Millions a reptillian apparel adorned entity popped his head up and said a loud “G’day”…it was Billy. So, we dragged him off to a quietish (well, relevant to the surroundings anyway) corner for a quick interview!

Mark Pokerbok Vos

Posted in Poker at 12:43 am by synergy

Pokerbok echoes Mark’s South African origins and will be a familar name to many, if not all, online players. His fearlessness is legendary and few achieve such a rapid rise to stardom. With an 8th place finish in the 2006 Aussie Millions Main Event followed quickly by some major cashes and capped by a WSOP bracelet in the $2000 NLHE event at the 2006 WSOP, Mark proved to one and all he was no flash in the pan.

Aussie Millions 2007 Main Event Day 1

Posted in Poker at 6:32 pm by synergy

I arrived at the Crown at 1am bleary eyed and for some reason they confused my surname with Elizabeth and I am convinced they were going to put me in Shannon’s room! :) I woke my wife Ellen up the next morning with a declaration of “Hey! Where’s Shannon Elizabeth and how in hell did you get here!”

I love living life on the edge.

The start of the main event was electric with huge crowds coming to see the celebrity players they had only ever seen on tv. We had dinner with Grinder’s big brother Robert and his lovely partner Elise and had some great laughs. Michael was unable to make the trip to OZ, too difficult with a young family. Look out for my interview with Robert!

Jack Effel Interview

Posted in Poker at 11:46 pm by synergy

Jack was recently appointed WSOP tourney director for an interesting chat on the future direction of the WSOP in this exclusive interview! Jack has, among other things, been poker room manager at the Horseshoe in Tunica and is now director of the World Series Circuit events and of Harrah’s poker operations as well as his new role. His enthusiasm for poker and it’s future are refreshingly insightful, I am sure you will enjoy it.
