A New Record, and Another Great Event
Jun 14, 2008Today is an interesting day here at the WSOP. I broke the record for a $1,500 Event. At each $1,500 event, I walk through the rows of tables, looking for a face I recognize. Now, since I’m out of the ‘front lines’ these days, I’m sure my recognition skills are less than they should be.
Still, I broke my own record today. When I happened upon Bill Edler in seat 9 at his starting table, his was the 16th table I had looked at. Bill’s was the first face I recognized. My prior record of ‘tables before I recognize someone’ stood at 13, from the first $1,500 event of the 06 WSOP. Its an interesting statement on who plays these events, and – maybe more interesting – who does not play these events.
The second event today is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. The $5k with rebuys PLO. This is sort of the new version of the $1,000 w/rebuys, where the atmosphere is light, and the field small(er). This is the event where the elite players play fast and loose and have a lot of fun.
The final table of this event could be another really star packed final table. The field for this event will be bigger than the $5k deuce to Seven field for sure, but by how much will be an interesting question.
