Remember how giddy-schoolgirl excited I was when I saw Daniel Negreanu and Phil Laak? Well imagine what my body went through today when I rode up to The Empire and walked into the main room to be greeted with the sight of Ivey, Hansen, Antonius etc etc. The HORSE events are always guaranteed to get the big names out; I only wish I could play ORSE so I could get something out of it. That said, I can barely play H so maybe it’s worth watching after all.
