Sorry I'm behind on getting up the results from The Isle's poker tournament and World Series updates. I may not get to them until tonight.

Meanwhile, our Michael Mayo called from the Hard Rock, where he saw some $10 tables going, just before noon. (I'll also follow up on how he did at the Isle; let's build some suspense.)

Last night, the table mins went up to $50 at most tables later in the evening. Can't say I blame the Hard Rock: so many people waiting like vultures for a seat, you gotta do something to move the bodies.

I was kind of worried last night a fight among patrons would work out for seats. All I can think of is the old days playing pinball, when you put your quarter on the machine, which meant next game. Or calling "next" at the playground basketball game.

Maybe casinos should have sign-up sheets? Time limits for play? Heck, I'm just firing out ideas here. What you all think?
