In this edition of the Poker Junkie Podcast, I will review some of highlights of the 2010 WSOP thus far as well as brag a bit about Phil Ivey’s record eigth bracelet. In addition, in honor of Wicked Chop Poker’s dubbing of this WSOP as “The Year of the Comeback,” I bring up some players that have seemingly dropped off the poker radar lately. Last, I give an idea of what’s still to come in the 2010 WSOP. Check out the podcast below for more: [youtube]http://www.

As with many players, 2003 was the first time I started seriously watching televised poker. I had watched a couple of Main Event finals in previous years, but the coverage of the game was expanded and enhanced with the addition of hole cards. From that point until 2009, the WSOP coverage on ESPN at least attempted to mix things up and show more than just NL Holdem. However, last year, they decided that they would greatly reduce the number of events covered and focus primarily on the Main Event.

So we are down to the final table of Event #2 of the World Series of Poker Europe and it looks like the pros are continuing their dominance at the table. JP Kelly took down the Event #1 bracelet to technically make him yet another multi-bracelet winner for 2009. Kelly took the $1,500 PL Holdem event in Vegas this summer. Chris Ferguson finished in 15th.
