Bodog Beat

The players are just now heading out of the Amazon Room for their dinner break (4:30pm is a bit early for us) after two rounds of play here during Day 1A of the 2009 WSOP Main Event, and we've had a chance to stroll the room looking for notable players and Team Bodog members. At the end of our stroll, we realized that most of Team Bodog seems to have opted for a later starting day, with the lone exception of Ryan "rjules12″ Julius.

Turns out he's seated practically under our noses. So, seated in our comfy (ha!) chairs up in Media Row, we've been keeping an eye on his progress and he seems to be doing well. Definitely relaxed at the table and sitting on a stack of about 50k, so up 20k for the day already.

Joining Julius at the the tables by poker pros Tony G, Roland de Wolfe, Gavin Smith, hih-hop superstar Nelly, Jimmy "gobboboy" Fricke, Jon “Pearljammer” Turner, Katja Thater, Greg "FBT" Mueller, Brad Garrett and Jason Alexander at the same table, Phil Laak and Jennifer Tilly not at the same table, Andy Black, Lex Veldhuis, Eli Elezra, Scotty Nguyen, Allen Cunningham and a thousand donks. Lol donkaments.

There's not much going on right now as the players are on dinner break, so we're gonna take a minute to post some photos of the Bodog Social (that which is responsible for our current headache) last night over on the 2009 WSOP live updates page.
