After settling our massive bill, the remaining four of us went back to the Rio to check in on the WSOP action. Here are some more photos that I took:

Paul Darden (black guy on the right) staking up his chips while John Juanda (Asian guy in jersey towards the left) makes a play.

Olga Varkonyi (the female the picture is most focused on) just moments before she went out. Olga is the wife of 2002 Main Event Champion, Robert Varkonyi. Olga had a very very nice chip stack, but suffered two horrible beats on consecutive hands to be knocked out of the tournament. It was brutal, and it broke my heart to have to watch it. Both her and her husband seem like really nice people, and she was playing well enough to possibly join her husband on the Gallery of Champions until lady luck just kicked her in the ass.

I was standing right beside Robert Varkonyi while he watched his wife. He was kind enough to talk to me on a few occassions, as well as smile for a picture. He is a really nice down-to-earth guy. I liked him a lot.

After being knocked out, Olga was hounded by ESPN cameras and other various media personel.

Mike 'the Mouth' Matusow made a very nice gesture by coming over and talking to Robert after his wife was knocked out of the tournament. I thought this was a classy move made by a guy who most feel is pretty class-less.
