Vinnie Vinh Showed Up Today . . . And Is Gone

Thanks to Lance at thepokerbiz.com for the heads-up on this one: Vinnie Vinh, who we interviewed two days ago before he bailed at the Day 1d dinner break and saw his stack whittled down to 3,200, has decided to show up and play Day 2b today at the 2007 WSOP.

UPDATE: Vinnie Vinh was eliminated on the second hand of Day 2b. Pushing all-in with 5-9 off, his opponent called with K-8 off. The flop came 8h-5d-Qd to give each a pair. The turn was 9s putting Vinh ahead but the Ks came on the river to send Vinh home, or more likely, into hiding if what thepokerbiz.com says is true. Head over there for some of the strange things Vinh said before play started today, including how he would be whacked if he won this year.
