\"\"I\u2019m having a great time staying here at Crown Towers for the Aussie Millions. I go to a private area every morning to have breakfast and see all the tennis stars from the Australian Open that is being held out here at the moment.<\/p>\n

No cooked breakfasts for them but in my time in the dining area i am able to reveal a few of their dietary delicacies. I have something very much in common with these stars at the peak of their sporting prowess.<\/p>\n

Every single one of them seems to have had yellowtail sashimi at some point, some with jalapenos, some without. I have seen Andy Roddick<\/strong> eat three portions of yellowtail a number of times and have seen lots of new style salmon, baby spinach salad with dry miso.<\/p>\n

Tennis players seem to eat sashimi by the bucket load \u2013 something they very much have in common with us poker players.<\/p>\n

Roddick likes poker<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m no Phil Hellmuth<\/a> so you won\u2019t see my tweets going \u2018met Andy Roddick who said hi Phil, you\u2019re the greatest \u2013 how about poker lessons in exchange for tennis lessons,\u2019 but i know Roddick likes poker so I may have to test his mettle and heart over the next week if his schedules allow.<\/p>\n

As I write this i have just been in the area and saw Maria Sharapova. I\u2019m not normally a fan of Russian \u2013 Americans (Ralph Perry) but if Maria is open minded I am quite willing to lend her the guiding hand of Tony G<\/strong> to lead her down the path of righteousness. Who else have I seen? Andy Murray \u2013 he was smiling, Caroline Wozniacki \u2013 she seems like a nice fun girl. These tennis stars seem to get younger and younger though so it is a good job the Devilfish isn\u2019t here.<\/p>\n

Rising star<\/h3>\n

The player who seems to attract the most attention here though is Chinese tennis star Li Na \u2013 she reached the finals of the Australian Open last year and went on to win the French Open. I was walking to Nobu to have some yellowtail sashimi, as you do, when i saw this lady and dozens of autograph hunters. I was thinking who is that? Then i see the sun tan marks where she wore the sweat bands. It also turns out she is sponsored by Crown \u2013 she\u2019s in the same stable as Joe Hachem. All Crown need to do now is sign me to join Joe and Li and they\u2019ll have a winning team that qualifies. I have my PartyPoker sponsorship (and am hoping to get an exclusive corporate chequebook soon) but the G isn\u2019t going to say no to another endorsement.<\/p>\n

100k tournament<\/h3>\n

In the meantime I am preparing for Sunday\u2019s 100k tournament. I had an entrance planned but it has run into some issues. I may have to enter merely as the businessman poker player which is disappointing. I\u2019m in a relaxed mood due to my professional tennis diet though so perhaps it is the best course of action. Zasko is off guarding the empire and he had a falling out with his mate TJ over the marble of the wagyu they get so i have no pet buddies with me this time.<\/p>\n

What about the cash games here? Patrik needs to get back to the table methinks \u2013 this weekend will get lively i predict. The nippy chiwawa Mr Negreanu<\/a> and others get into town. I also heard Durrrr is on his way and that you cannot rule out an appearance from Ivey \u2013 we\u2019ll see. I will also be joining my sponsors\u2019 most qualified (yes those who have Aussie Millions packages) for dinner on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Yesterday two new members of the Australian Poker Hall of Fame were inducted \u2013 congratulations to David Gorr and Jason Gray. Both really deserve this but now they should get to the table so i can take everything they have!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
