Last night, the first piece of really significant poker history was made at the Rio. Sure, 18 people had won bracelets so far at the 2005 WSOP, and they all deserve their place in history. But to get a really significant place in history, you have to rise above the hundreds of players who have […]

Doyle Brunson makes a perfect ten

Event # 31 of the 2005 WSOP was the $5,000 shorthanded No Limit Hold Em. This is one of my favorite events for several reasons. Number one, the fairly large buy in thins the field, and insures there will be some top players at the final table. Secondly, the six handed format insures there will […]

David Chiu strikes Poker Gold

Watching split pot poker can be misery, or pretty exciting, depending on who is playing, and what the dynamic at the table is. If you have an active, chatty table, it can be fun to be a part of. If you have a bunch of quiet players, it can really be a grind.

For five weeks, we have thought we were going to see record crowds, mass chaos, total hysteria…Use any of the overblown words the media likes to use to blow things out of proportion.
Well, the main event is finally upon us, and while I will firmly avoid using any words that would make you think the […]
