Celebrity Poker Sighting?

Jose Canseco has been in the news lately, due to some alleged border crossing woes here in San Diego. Guess who showed up at Oceans-11 last night? Yep, Mr. Juice himself. He was playing in a 10-10 no limit game for a while. I think he got stacked or something, because later in the night I saw him in a 2-3 no limit game. The regular group of boys I was playing with in the 40-80, wanted him to come join our game.

Nothing spectacular happened, I booked a modest win of $1400, should have actually lost more, but some schmuck totally misplayed his hand and I lost the minimum with pocket aces against his pocket eights when he flopped a set and foolishly decided to slow play it. Also had some random guy sit down in the 40/80 with half a rack of blues (dollar chips), and a couple of greens (25 dollar chips). He tried to short buy like $80 into the game, when the dealer told him the minimum buy-in was $400. He subsequently complied, bought in, lasted about 2 orbits and busted out. His bust-out hand? Q6o on a ATJ5 rainbow board. Interesting play sir.
