In May, poker media friends were tweeting excitedly that they were headed to Las Vegas. Those days are gone. Forever. Now, days before the final nine players complete the Main Event, I’m reading the same things I read every year “Get me out of here, only 4 more days” and “I can’t take Vegas anymore.”
Trust me, they’re grateful for fun careers but Vegas…well, Vegas wears on the soul.
However, certain players make staying for the last few moments worthwhile. And a couple of those players are former Studs of Poker like… Pokerati’s favorite Tom Schneider the Donkey Bomber and Poker Road’s Stud Joe Sebok. As well as Phil Ivey, JC Tran, Kenny Tran, Theo Tran, Kara Scott Tobin, Fabrice Soulier, David Levi.
UPDATE: Add my friend Eric Buchman (who seems to cash in every event he plays).
