WSOP - Seven days in and were still waiting
OK - seven days into the 2007 World Series OF Poker (WSOP) and we’re really just sitting here twiddling our thumbs.
Without too much disrespect to Michael Spiegel, Steve Billirakis, Alexander Kravchenko, Cairan O’Leary, Gary Styczynski, Frederick Narciso and Tom Schneider who have all won bracelets so far … can we just say … “who cares !!!??”
The massive fields have meant that only a few established poker pros are going deep into events - and that we’re seeing little of the hoped for clashes of major names.
The WSOP is rapidly degenerating into a massive convention of poker wannabees who just happen to get lucky on the day - and their post win interviews are as dull as dish water.
The “Biggest News” of the WSOP so far is that Phil Hellmuth cashed again this week - finishing 104th in Event #8 ($2,000 No Limit Holdem) for a prize of just $3,091.
That makes it his 58th cash in the WSOP - but since when is finishing 104th in a tournament make news? Do I feel a huge “SO WHAT ??!!” welling up inside ? …
Yes - I think I do.
Stumble it!
