Online Poker Weekend Wrap Up – Action Still Hot Despite WSOP

The frenetic action at the World Series of Poker did not slow the action down one bit at the online poker tables. Even though 2,100 players were doing battle in the main event, the big two tournaments of the weekend pretty much made their guarantees, with the $500 buy in at Stars causing the site […]

WSOP Updates - The Spotlights Have All Been Extinguished

Today Liz Lieu took her shot at the 2006 WSOP Main Event. Liz was probably in the best mood I have seen since this all began back in June. She was having fun at her table, arriving late, saying hello to friends and playing some hands. The turn around was easy to see and I […]

WSOP Updates – The Beginning of The End, and Random Thoughts

The beginning of the end kicked off bright and early at noon (OK, bright and early for poker players) in the Amazon Room at the Rio as the final of the four First Days came to the felt. Normally in the tournament world at the end of four days we’re down to a final table, […]

WSOP Updates – A Champion in a Different Ring, and A Record Falls

With action continuing on Monday afternoon, it is surprising the faces that have appeared to enter this year’s World Series of Poker. It isn’t limited to just the poker community; celebrities have come out in full force to take part among the approximate 8,500 players that will make up the Main Event.
With James Garner, Shannon […]

WSOP Updates – The Steely Gaze, and the Best Smile in the Business

Cyndy Violette smiles at me, and I am mesmerized. Wearing a pink shirt with the words ‘Poker Pro’, a Doyle’s Room baseball hat, and spreading around the felt an assortment of stones with phrases like “I am lucky,” “I am focused,” “Enjoy,” “Trust,” and “Power,” she has captured the attention of her entire table.
Reporters love […]

WSOP Updates – This Just In - Robert Varkonyi is Not Lactating

I spot Robert Varkonyi somewhere behind his mountain of chips, and stop by to see how he’s doing. Many people don’t give Robert’s play much respect - Phil Hellmuth even promised on the final day of the 2002 event that he would shave his head if Varkonyi ended up winning (Varkonyi did win, and Hellmuth […]

WSOP Updates – Chris Moneymaker Goes Into the Tank

Chris Moneymaker is low on chips, and he is frustrated. He sees a man at his table push all-in on the turn with middle pair for 4000 chips and get called by the nut flush. The man asks, “What do you have, just an ace?” giddily, not realizing that a flush is already out there. […]

WSOP Updates: Some Notable Women: Day Two Flight A

There will be many talented women taking their seats for ‘Day Two’ of the WSOP. But like their male counterparts, there were many more that failed to clear the WSOP Day One hurdle. This year the WSOP Championship Event held four separate “Day Ones” to accommodate the record breaking field of 8,778 players. Players that […]

WSOP Updates - The Flying Dutchman and the Splendid Start: Marcel Luske

It’s 9:00 on the last of four opening days at the WSOP Main Event, and The Flying Dutchman, Marcel Luske, is on a roll. He’s perhaps not quite as resplendent as he was at the start of play, when he cut a figure of elegant panache in his ever-present PokerSpecs shades and a clean-lined, tan […]

WSOP Updates – The Tale of a Mismarked Chip

Even perfection isn’t perfect. In the later stages of play on the last of the four Main Event opening days, a player discovered an oddity in his stack — a chip marked with $25 on one side and $100 on the other. So what happens in a situation such as this?
In this instance, that table’s […]

WSOP Updates - Anna Benson Throws A Party

While the last 2000 (plus) players ground their way through the last of the Day Ones, I was actually able to step away from the main battleground there at the Amazon Room for some, shall we say it, fun? Of the parties that have gone on, the one that took place at the Palms on […]

For WSOP Vendors, it’s the Same ol’ Story - Location, Location, Location

The famed real estate mantra is rarely more true than it is at the WSOP, with everything from the cramped play area to the vendor displays turning into topics for debate. While the squeezing of extra tables into play to accommodate the last of this year’s nearly 9000-player crush has been well documented in many […]

WSOP Chip Counts (Selected) for Day Two ‘A’

It has been very difficult to get accurate chip information for this WSOP Main Event, as the size of the field has overwhelmed most involved. Therefore, we present some selected chip counts for the players playing today. We’re really sorry if your cousin, or brother is not on the list. We feel a list of […]

WSOP Updates – Chris ‘Jesus’ Ferguson Doubles Through at Start of Day Two

The chances that Chris ‘Jesus’ Ferguson will make a deep run in this year’s Main Event made a big jump when he doubled through during the second day’s play. Ferguson, tucked away on a quiet table against the Amazon Room’s far wall, found good fortune in a battle of the blinds against Chris Viox. Ferguson […]

WSOP Updates - Daniel Alaei, and Shirley Williams Get Lucky

The World Series is an emotional rollercoaster for any player involved. Walking around the Amazon room, it won’t be long before you hear screaming or see a player jumping up and down at receiving a miracle card to make a hand.
Daniel Alaei is another story. The WSOP bracelet winner and cash game specialist sits in […]
