The Poker Lab Rat

There still is not that much star power going on at the WSOP in Las Vegas, and so instead of reporting of Phil Hellmuth setting a record for his 60th WSOP final table we thought we’d scan the net for something else.

So here are a series of interviews that we dug up on YouTube with some of the bigger poker stars that simply have not made much impression on the tournament yet.

Phil Ivey - Two final tables but looking for more. 

Scotty Nguyen - Has given up cash games altogether.

Howard Lederer - prefers the bigger buy-in games thid WSOP.

Eli Elezra - after winning his first WSOP bracelet earlier this week.

We’re keeping our eyes and ears open - but it looks like the poker world is suffering a bit of overkill from so many events and the vast number of entries meaning that “feature clashes” are few.

Or could it simply be that despite the claims of skill and talent - when it really comes down to it - winning a tournament requires a huge slice of luck too … right Jamie Gold ?
