WSOP Updates – Day One With ‘The Grinder’

The first day of the 2006 World Series of Poker is minutes away from starting, and I’m standing at table 171 in front of two of the most nervous people I have ever seen in my entire life. Hands shaking, sweat beading from their foreheads, they look like they’ve just ran a marathon and a […]

WSOP Updates - Day One ‘A’ Notes

It is a little into the second hour of play in Day 1A, and Amir Vahedi has just arrived at his new table, hands cupped in front of him. The ESPN cameras are inches away from Vahedi’s face, and he turns to scream, “Stop looking at my chips!”
What chips? I wonder. Vahedi has just sat […]

WSOP Updates – Spotlight Series - Farewell to Good Guy Gavin Smith

From the very first hand of Day Two, it was clear that Gavin Smith was going to be playing at a very good table for his style. Players were willing to gamble (a bit) and willing to lay down hands to aggressive betting (a lot). What also became clear in the first level was that […]

Apparently there are some that believe their lecherous, drunken, or fiendish personas are afforded some anonymity in a sport now burgeoning with media coverage.
