Through a Beginner’s Eyes

For those of us who have been playing poker for a long time, it’s always interesting to see the game through the eyes of somebody who hasn’t grown up playing cards in general or poker specifically. I have a friend by the name of Eugene who is learning to play hold’em. Eugene is a stunningly […]

More on the World Series of Poker

As I am writing this, the first two weeks of the World Series of Poker have been completed. The superstars of poker are really shining this year. Chris Ferguson, Phil Hellmuth, Men “The Master” Nguyen, and Jim Lester seem to be at the final table or close to it almost every event. This just proves […]

$2,000 Limit Hold’em: A Balance to the Universe

Be careful what you ask for, you might get it.
Following an extraordinarily long first day of the opening $2,000 limit hold’em event at the World Series of Poker, I was keeping my fingers crossed that we might have a final table that ended before my flight out of Las Vegas to attend my stepfather’s funeral.
I […]

The Courage to Execute

I was playing $15-$30 hold’em and was next to last to act. I held the 3™ 2™, and with two callers already in, I saw the flop and prayed for hearts. Dieter, a strong aggressive player, had the button and limped in behind me. With both blinds in, we saw the flop sixhanded.
The flop came […]

WSOP Updates: A Day of Rest

It’s 10:20 a.m. on Thursday, August 3rd, rest day for the players remaining in the Main Event. Rest day for the media, as well… or at least most of them. At this time of day, the Rio Convention Center is as close to a ghost town as you’re likely to see. Even the main media […]

WSOP Bubble Boys to Enjoy Chance at 2007 Seat With Milwaukee’s Best Light

Entries for the 2006 WSOP Main Event had barely closed when Milwaukee’s Best Light, which recently signed on as the ‘presenting sponsor’ for the World Series of Poker, announced a last special bonus for this year’s bubble finishers: The nine players who finish just out of the money, in spots 874 through 882, will be […]

WSOP Updates – Notable Players Still Around On Day Three

For the first time at this year’s World Series of Poker Main Event, all of the players were sitting in the same room at the commencement of play on Friday. 1,159 survivors from the first four Day Ones and the two Day Twos came together in the Amazon Room at the Rio and there were […]

Day Three is ‘.net’ Day at the WSOP

As the players assembled into the tournament room for day three, the duct tape that had been applied to cover ‘.com’ logoing had a new cousin. WSOP floor staff were circulating the room sticking stickers that said ‘.net’ adjacent to any poker room logo that had no logo representation. So, the hats that once simply […]

Team PokerNews Members Still Holding Strong on Day Three

Three members of Team PokerNews are still fighting for their place in poker history.
Our biggest stack at the start of play today is Per Erik Loeff. Per is from Norway, and started the day with 177,000 chips. Per is the big stack at his table, and looks forward to doing some pounding on the shorter […]

WSOP Updates - Lessons From Our Spotlight Players

Just a quick review for those of you just tuning in for the WSOP Main Event. For the past six weeks I have been following three players: Liz Lieu, Gavin Smith and Tony G. The idea was to watch, listen, and learn what it is like to play an entire World Series of Poker from […]

An Exit With Class: Ferguson to the Rail at the Main Event

‘They got me,’ says Chris “Jesus” Ferguson, answering the fans’ questions repeatedly as he slowly works his way through the crowd at the rail. Ferguson started the day with about $55,000 in chips, but those didn’t last long. The 2000 Main Event champion remains gracious in defeat, maintaining his modest smile, and he tosses in […]

WSOP Updates – Oy, Oy, Oy, those Aussies, and Humberto Brenes Entertains

There has been quite a bit of action as the blinds have increased (to a 400 ante with 800/1600 blinds) in the mid-afternoon at the Main Event at the World Series of Poker. This has also been drawing the fans into the Amazon Room as well, as the Rio is at its busiest moments that […]

WSOP Updates – Sweating the Line - The WSOP Spectator’s Experience

The hottest spot to get into in Vegas this week isn’t at Tao, Ghost Bar, Rain, or any of the clubs for that matter. Stretching across the four entrances to the Amazon room are four lines that each go over 100 people deep. For spectators that come to visit the WSOP, they are learning quickly […]

WSOP Miracle - From 1,100 to 97,000 – The Story of Day 3 – Jonathan Diamond

When you wake up in the morning and look at the chip counts from the night before, there’s always the macabre glance you can’t help but make at the very bottom of the list. You look, and you think to yourself, ‘Why not just donk your last few chips off, and get on with your […]
