I just read an amazing story on one of the Pokerstars freeroll qualifiers. I'm rooting for Blandino Gines. Read his Cardplayer Story

Play is scheduled to resume tomorrow afternoon at approximately 11:00 am. Here's a look at today's quarterfinal match-ups: Hearts Final David Williams v. Sammy Farha Diamonds Final David Oppenheim v. Huck Seed Clubs Final Vanessa Rousso v. Daniel Negreanu Spades Final Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier v. Phil Hellmuth A Winner will be crowned today and with the players left, I'm rooting for Vanessa Rousso, but with the way Negreanu has been playing, I can't see anyone beating him. For his match against Scotty Nguyen yesterday, Negreanu showed up dressed as Scotty Nyugen.
