WSOP

Day 21 of the 2010 WSOP is underway with four events underway and a fifth starting at 5 p. m. Day 1 of the $5,000 NL Six-Handed is underway in Pavilion. Day 2 of the Event #30 has broken the bubble and is schedule to play to a final table.

I started playing at the World Series of Poker in 2006. Back then, we were still pre-UIGEA and amateurs were practically dominating all of the fields. A few select pros would win events, but for the most part, the chirping from the pros was that “the fields are too massive and €œbuy-ins needed to be raised. However, times were a changing.

Day 18 of the 2010 WSOP kicked off with the $2,500 NL Holdem Six-Max Event. Later in the day, Day 2 of the $1,000 NL and Day 3 of the $10,000 Omaha 8 or Better World Championship resumed with the Omaha 8 or Better World Championship playing out to the bracelet. However, this day for me was all about the 5 P. M.

Charlie River made a post earlier today entitled WSOP Deflated and Outdated. In it, he made a comments regarding how that he thought that the WSOP should be conducted and I wanted to take a few minutes to comment both as someone who has worked it the last three years, and someone that has played in 4 out of the last 5 WSOP’s. *Everyman Poker is Becoming Pro Paradise* First, Charlie contends that the WSOP has become everyman'€™s supermarket of poker. While there is some merit in that statement, that argument would hold more weight three years ago more so than it does now.

Day 17 of the 2010 WSOP is in full swing. Day 1b of the $1,000 NL Holdem is just out of their dinner break over in the Pavilion Room. Day 2 of the $10,000 Omaha 8 or Better World Championship is playing its way down to the final table. A woman will walk away with a bracelet tonight as the final table of the $1,000 Ladies World Championship is down to heads-up play.
