Rice's Bday, Hockey, and HUGE ONLINE POKER NEWS

So on Friday we celebrated Rice's birthday, which actually was on the 15Th. A bunch of people (not including myself) went out for dinner which i heard was good. I was picked up by Hilmi and Fu and was told we were gonna head to Foggy Dew. Foggy Dew is one of those places where i don't mind going once in a while. You always see someone you know, drinks are relatively cheap, and everyone always has a good time. Unfortunately the line outside was as long as i have seen in a long time, even though it was pouring rain outside. Lucky for us there is a liquor store right next door so we just grabbed some beers and headed to Fu's house for some drinking. We hung out til 3am and just chilled. The highlight of the night however has to be the leaf-blower wake-up.
After pounding back most of a 26 of Crown Royal, Mike ''v-unit'' Vuong was passed out. i mean done. Also passed out was bday boy Rice. We came up with the bright idea to stick a leaf blower in their face to wake them up. As you can imagine, hilarity ensued, especially when Mike woke up, said F%$k you guys, then went back to sleep. We did video tape it and i Will try and get that video up as soon as i get it from Fu.

Played hockey on Saturday and Sunday, which was nice. Haven't played since May basically. Saturday was just a drop in which was nice, and Sunday i played in a game. The pace was really fast and i am really out of game shape. I was so tired half way through.

Lastly for today is the huge online poker news. For those who do not know, Absolute Poker has been caught cheating. Basically what happened is in a 1k tournament it was down to heads up and a guy made a crazy call with 10 high. The player who lost then e-mailed AP and asked for a tournament hand summary so he could see the guys play at the final table. Instead of a hand history they e-mailed him ALL of the hole cards in the hand history. To read the whole story with evidence click on the following links. The story has 2 parts, with many more to come i assume, so i have placed the links in chronological order for your convenience.
