World Series of Poker Has Begun!!!

May 29th at noon began the 1st of 55 events that make up the World Series of Poker. A friend and I went down to the Rio Hotel and Casino to walk through and try to see some of the "Superstars" of the Poker world. I didn't bring my camera (see previous posts). I did go to the WSOP website located here to see if I could find any pictures from the evening I was there.

Pictures from that day:




Andy Bloch








Phil (Unibomber) Laak








Eli Elezra








Mike Sexton








Phil Ivey





Other players I saw (with no pictures):

Johnny Chan, Paul (Eskimo) Clark, Humberto (Shark-man) Brenes, Greg (Fossil-Man) Raymer. I wanted to see Raymer put his dinosaur glasses on (he only does that if he's playing a hand) so I watched him for about 20-30 minutes but no such luck.

Players I WANT to see:

Phil Hellmuth, just to see him whine, Chris (Jesus) Ferguson, Allen Cunningham, Scotty Nguyen, Daniel Negreanu, Howard Lederer, Mike (The Mouth) Matusow, Antonio (The Magician) Esfandiari

The Main Event (which is the big No-Limit Tournament) will begin July 3 and go until July 14th. The Final Table of the Main Event will not be played until November 9th and 10th, so if you want a chance to see some (or all) of the "Superstars" let us know and we can accommodate all that want to, just let us know first so we can book your rooms!!!
