I haven’t been able to follow the WSOP this year, like I hoped I would. I’ve been pretty busy and I just couldn’t swing a trip to Vegas this year. I’m a little disappointed. I’d love to play an event, but I know at this point in my career, I would just be throwing money away. From the look of the results, a lot of pros were making final tables and winning bracelets, which to me says, I have to really bone up on the skills before making the attempt.
A few thoughts…
Congrats to Erick Lindgren, Daniel Negreanu and Barry Greenstein on winning bracelets. Condolences to Phil Ivey for losing his bracelet bet.
Looks like the thrill of poker is not slowing down. This years main event features 6,844 participants making it the second biggest tournament. Positions Paid: 666. I’m sure they could have paid one more person. Top prize is $9,119,517. Yikes. We’ll also have to wait until November to see who wins. I kind of like the idea of postponing the final table. The key here is execution. If done right this could be very entertaining television.
