@BJNemeth I’m so sorry for the loss of your dearest friend and companion, BJ. Her story is so amazing and he had a wonderful dad and life from the day you found her in the Rest Area! Monique and I send condolences. When you’re ready for a Bull Terrier to fill the void, let me know 😉

@PaulOresteen I believe the last ice storm I worked in Tunica there was a lot of alcohol consumed. Totally agree that the scene there has changed over the years- especially since Harrahs closed. Stay safe!

@ploblaster @_antonio_abrego @hayleyocho @SrslySirius @JoeGironPhoto @PokerGO @tkarn421 @RomeForReal @WPN_CEO Wtf? Did Brett get into his DeLorean and jump back in time hoping the alternate universe would shift laws and money his way? Advice from the Godfather…No matter how good you think you are, you’ll never win over potential business partners using the phrase “Fuck you guys”

@britstoutpoker Happy birthday to you!

[Eric Harkins @ImpdiWorld]

@TommyBatesPoker @drew_amato That’s a pretty freaking awesome collection! Let me know if you need help

When I started doing high value Transporting, I came across some pretty cool owners and #car #auto collections. Transporting for the https://t.co/AG3RxwPVqY takes things to a whole nother level. #oshkosh #airshow #warbird #fighterjet

Thought I reached a pinnacle in my career with @CMONEYMAKER and @RealJamieGold and @WSOP… but apparently I just got dubbed “the Ansel Adam’s of drunk people”

[Eric Harkins @ImpdiWorld]

@PaulOresteen I agree Paul. This behavior should never be rewarded. Curious where the photo came from (because they didn’t ask our permission)

[Eric Harkins @ImpdiWorld]

@aaronhendrix Good work sir! Slow and steady wins this one…

[Eric Harkins @ImpdiWorld]

@SavagePoker @WPT Like I keep saying, Matt… As long as those of us who influenced/promoted the sport and don’t play high stakes, it will ALWAYS go to a Poker Player. The days of anyone else getting inducted are over unless that platform changes.

[Eric Harkins @ImpdiWorld]

@gorsuch00 @WSOP @PokerNews Thanks John! Go win more cash and bling my friend!!!

[Eric Harkins @ImpdiWorld]

To all those @WSOP players and @PokerNews media who think they’re the coolest person in the room… until I show up. It’s one hell of a way to travel!

[Eric Harkins @ImpdiWorld]

@jessefullen @WSOP @PokerNews Thank you Jesse! I’m not holding hope for HOF unless they alter the current situation. It will (and probably should) always go to a Poker Player. It’s a shame because there’s so many ‘behind the scenes’ greats. In the meantime,maybe I’ll tell some stories!

[Eric Harkins @ImpdiWorld]

@highhands89 @WSOP @PokerNews We could probably fit your truck and trailer inside this one, no problem!?!

[Eric Harkins @ImpdiWorld]

@lefty2432 Good luck @mrdoft! Props for bringing @lefty2432 to your rail. The rest of us are watching in awe

@fingersonface @drew_amato @WSOP @PokerNews @pokerorg Sorry @fingersonface. I’m not there so I don’t know who wears what badges, but tagged what I assumed were the Media Sponsors. We created the 5min rule with WSOP Media around 2007 when too many Media were just hanging around pros/celebs without purpose

[Eric Harkins @ImpdiWorld]

@WriterJen @drew_amato @WSOP @PokerNews @pokerorg Hey Jenn- I’m not up on who gets what privileges but we (IMPDI) did create such rules when people like Getty were showing up at Main, 50k and Ante Up to add to commercial stock use. The 5 min rule was to keep photogs focused on storyline. @drew_amato knows the difference

[Eric Harkins @ImpdiWorld]

@hayleyocho @WSOP. @ChadAHolloway - There are rules in place (we created them in the early days!). The 5 min rule was created for Photojournalists like LVRJ, Getty and AP after specific storylines. This avoids stalking and commercial use. @drew_amato knows rules, can you flex?

My growing frustrations with WSOP 🤷🏽‍♂️
