• Great Final Table

  Ιούνιος 11, 2008

  In my last blog, I talked about the fact that my favorite event on the WSOP calendar is the $5k Deuce to Seven with Rebuys. The field is small but mighty for this event, and the strong field has produced what will be, in all likelihood, the highest profile final table we will see at this WSOP.

  Although I did not do much research, I would assume this is the only final table in recent years where every participant has a WSOP bracelet, or a WPT title*. At this final table, we have 8 WSOP bracelets, 6 WPT titles*, a WSOP Circuit win, a WSOP player of the year, and a WPT player of the year.

  Without a doubt, this will be the most intriguing final table we'll see this year. Its highly doubtful we'll see a more consistently packed final table as mentioned above. But, I think the thing that makes this final table the most interesting is that the game is not a game the players play very often, and its being played in the no limit format. I'd be willing to bet that half of these guys don't play Deuce to Seven any other time all year other than the two events they play here at the WSOP. Which means, despite the loaded final table, there probably will be times when these guys aren't super comfortable, as they don't face the situations this game presents more than a few times a year. So, even though this table is bereft of any ‘rookie’ players, the vets won’t be as comfortable as they usually are.

  These players got to where they are by constantly assessing ‘where they are’ at the poker table at all times. It should be a great final table.

  * Ok, so Tony’s WPT title was not an open event (The Bad Boys of Poker), but it sure makes for a pretty statement as to the strength of this event.
