We know that being healthy is important to a lot of poker players. One way to do that is with fresh produce. For the latest episode of the Sin City Series, Sarah Grant got to check out the farmers market in downtown Las Vegas recently to speak with some of the vendors and the organizer.

World Poker Tour Paris High RollerOn Friday, the €15,000 buy-in high roller kicked off at the 2011 World Poker Tour Rendez-Vous à Paris. Among the 36 players who entered was last year's winner, Freddy Deeb, and last year's runner-up, Sorel Mizzi. Would history repeat itself? A €521,100 prize pool was created and €234,495 was reserved for first place.
The stacks of Mizzi and Deeb (courtesy of @sorelmizzi)Mizzi moved into the second day of play as the chip leader, and when five players were left on Sunday, Mizzi tweeted:

The Tribe Will Speak — EventuallySurvivor: South Pacific kicks off on Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. EDT. We're not huge Survivor fans, seeing as how there is nothing about living on an island with little to no food, with people we would probably loathe that's appealing. Regardless of our thoughts on the show, there's a poker aspect to the new season, and that's why you're reading about the reality show in the Nightly Turbo.
One of the 18 Survivor: South Pacific cast members is a bit of a poker player. Jim Rice, or James Rice III if you searching him on Hendon Mob, will be part of the Savaii Tribe this season. In his bio on CBS.com, his current occupation is listed as a medical marijuana dispenser. Other than working on Wall Street, his personal claim to fame is winning over 40 poker tournaments. We're not sure which poker tournaments he's talking about, probably home games, because his Hendon Mob results only lists five cashes, one of which was a win.
We're just curious if he reached out to Jean-Robert Bellande for tips on surviving.
