WSOP

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.

Day 26 at the 2010 WSOP is underway. The only new event today is the $1,500 PL Omaha Hi-Lo Event that started at Noon. The PL Holdem Championship will play to the bracelet today. There are a couple of decent names left, but with 23 players still left as we speak, we wont worry about that until the final table actually gets here.

Day 25 is moving right along here at the 2010 WSOP. I could sit here and tell you about all of the events that are going on at present, but in all honesty, the only thing anyone gives a damn about is the $10,000 Heads-Up Final and the final table of the $3,000 H. O. R.

Day 25 at the 2010 WSOP is underway with a much lighter schedule today than the last few days. The $1,500 NL Shootout Event started at Noon over in the Pavilion Room. In just a few minutes, Day 2 of the weekend $1,000 NL restarts. At 3 p.

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.
