Waking up in London…

09*16*10

It’s currently 4:30pm in London and I just stumbled out of bed an hour ago.  I ate breakfast at a subway next door to my hotel while I watched a homeless man pan-handling for change with his dog outside a betting
shop.  I’d imagine this is a very effective pan-handling location as gamblers collecting winning bets might feel obligated to share their good fortune.

I’ve been in London for slightly over two weeks now, I came to play the WPT, RaketheRake, WSOP and WSOP events that are taking place in London this month.  I decided to come when a friend of mind who was looking for a backer sent me a list of the tournaments he wanted to play in September, and I realized there were over $150,000 worth of No Limit events in London in September.  So instead of backing him, I decided to back myself and booked myself a ticket across the pond.

My Crazy Job. By: Lindsey Cusey

09*16*10

One of the great things about my job is that there is always something new going on. Yes, I do have a few things I do that are pretty routine but there are always new tasks to complete, events to organize, parties to attend and new people to meet, which I find quite enjoyable. Since I work for Andrew sometimes I accompany him to TV productions, photo shoots, interviews, or sometimes even out of town for tournaments. I help him get ready and organized and even help him pack for going out of town. I try to keep Andrew as organized as possible so we have a filing system and even bins in the closets that are clearly labeled on the outside so he knows exactly what is in each drawer, bin or tote.

Meet Alec Torelli. By: Lindsey Cusey

09*16*10

Being Andrew’s assistant, sometimes his poker player friends will call on me to help them with things too. Andrew has a very good friend who he has known for about 6 years now and his name is Alec Torelli. He is also a very successful poker player. When Alec comes in town he generally stays with Andrew for the whole time he is Vegas. I see Alec the most during the summer for the World Series of Poker, or sometimes Andrew will go out to California to play at Commerce Casino and if needed I’ll tag along to help them both out while we’re there. Besides assisting Andrew, I’d say I help Alec out the most compared to the rest of the guys.
