WSOP

The World Series of Poker is just ONE DAY AWAY!  Players from all over are already beginning to descend upon Vegas and beginning their pre-WSOP preparations.   The poker media is in town having their pre-WSOP meetings and Harrah’s has been in meetings for the last couple of days in preparation. What have I been doing?  Playing video poker and watching Doctor Who mostly.   While that may not be the most exciting preparation for the WSOP, we have a long six weeks ahead of us.

With the 2010 World Series of Poker just 3 days away, I figured it was time to introduce everyone to one of the features of this summer’s WSOP coverage.   As part of the 2010 WSOP coverage, I will be bringing you the Poker Junkie Podcast this summer.   Melissa Castello will be joining me in bringing you this segment throughout the summer.   The attached Youtube “video” is a pre-WSOP edition of the Poker Junkie Podcast.

I have some bad news to report. Unfortunately, the “Poker Junkie Monkey” will not be making its way to the 2010 World Series of Poker. For some reason, I was unable to locate the monkey before coming out here. As such, I now have a new mascot for the 2010 WSOP.

Cab ride to the Rio: $20 WSOP T-shirt and Hat Combo: $20 for the cheap one Entry to Event #3: $1,000 Tip to cocktail waitress: $1 Satellite entry to $1,500 WSOP event: $175 Doyle’s Brunson Autobiography: $19. 99 Date with that good looking blonde passing out flyers: $534. 32 and that’s just for a hug at the end of the night Staking Eskimo Clark in an event: $1,500 Staking T. J.

The 2010 WSOP kicks off in just 13 days. Yes, it is hard to believe that it is almost that time once again. It just seems like yesterday that I was coming back from the 2009 WSOP. I am looking forward to this year's WSOP for multiple reasons.
