...hands. Obviously there was the hand with Tiffany Michelle. [With 18 players remaining, Eastgate won a pot of nearly 10 million chips holding a pair of aces against Michelle's ace and jack.] There was the hand with Dennis Phillips at the final table on the K-2-2 flop. [With six players remaining, Phillips bet 7 million and Eastgate, holding pocket aces, moved all-in for 22 million. Phillips folded, giving Eastgate the chip lead.] You have also some of the folds that you don't see on the ESPN tapes, and situations where I made the right folds...
...stage are just as likely to fizzle as they are to thrive when they immigrate to the U.S. On the one hand, the low-key Brits seem far more wowed than Americans by a certain brand of over-the-top, kitschy production - from Saturday Night Fever (hit in London, flop on Broadway) to We Will Rock You, the daft Queen musical from London that couldn't get any farther than Las Vegas in the States.

As if having De Niro and Willis wasn’t enough star power, Sean Penn appears as the star of the movie within the movie. He?...
...During his first year in office, Paulson's most high-profile relationship-building efforts were with the Chinese government, in a series of top-level meetings in Beijing and Washington. These weren't a flop - Paulson proudly points to the failure of anti-China trade legislation in Congress and the 20% rise in the yuan vs. the dollar - but they weren't a dramatic success either. Then came trouble, which spread from subprime mortgages to financial markets in general in August 2007. The chief connection was that subprime loans - those sold to less qualified borrowers - were purchased and repackaged...
