Lack Of Live Twitter Coverage Of ESPN WSOP

Its ESPN 2009 WSOP Poker Night and it seems most poker players are too busy watching the show to update Facebook or Twitter. I would think there would be more… “Can you believe that play?” Or “what’s up with that shirt?” However, I haven’t seen much live coverage of the coverage.
I haven’t watched the show [...]

2009 WSOP Main Event: Day of Studs

Joe Sebok looks like a nice guy because he is a nice guy

It was not so long ago when all of my poker media friends were tweeting how they were on their way to Vegas for six weeks at the 2009 WSOP.  Those days are gone.  Forever.  And now days before the last nine players are standing [...]

WSOP LIMIT

If there was one event I wanted to play the most it was the $1500 Limit tournament which started yesterday.  I prefer pot limit and no limit for cash games, but for tournaments… limit is probably my favorite.  And even though I’m not playing… I was happy to see Bill Chen, Justin Bonomo, Richard Brodie, [...]

2009 WSOP Must See Photos

WSOP portraits can be great for moms… but I’ve always enjoyed the bigger picture through my lens or on the web (and no, I’m not claiming to be all that of a photographer). For example, both my mother and my mother-in-law take photos of us kids on vacation but they zoom in so close that [...]

No, I’m Not At The WSOP

I never thought I would be watching the 2009 WSOP unfold from thousands of miles away but I am.   There are many things I love about being at home; however, it is sad to watch the series after the time I have invested in media the past few years.  I feel like a Christmas Store [...]

Coming Soon: The 2009 WSOP

Special thanks to Seth Palansky, WSOP Communications Director, for communicating so effectively that I know the 2009 WSOP is only 19 days away. Palansky also mentioned something about a new bracelet winner ceremony following the day after the win. This means a player will receive the bracelet in front of thousands of people at 2pm [...]

2009 WSOP Conference Call Coming Soon

The World Series of Poker will be having their ask-me-anything-conference-call on April 28th about the 2009 WSOP.  Which means one shouldn’t ask questions unrelated to the WSOP or how things like how big will the prize be?  But who cares, I will be asking Jeffrey Pollack if he will have In-N-Out Burger cater to all final tables.  Additionally, since [...]

2009 WSOP Schedule Announced

Despite economic stress, Harrahs isn’t reducing the 2009 WSOP schedule.   Apparently, Jeffrey Pollack or someone at Harrahs couldn’t drive 55 so they have put 57 bracelets up for grabs starting May 27th.  Not too shabby for Phil Ivey should he go all crazy prop betting beeeellions and beeeellions of dollars on whether or not he wins a bracelet.  [...]

The 2009 WSOP Schedule

 
There are a few questions in regards to the 2009 WSOP Schedule.  Where when is it and how many events will take place?  Previous World Series of Poker schedules were released in December 2008 and January 2007 so I’m assuming it should be soon????? And why hasn’t Pokerati Dan been talking about this?  I mean, [...]
