WSOP Fever

Well...it has started...my favorite 2 months of the year. Was out of town for the start so could not rail all the updates on the internet as usual but have been catching up. Was able to read some Twitter updates and now have been reading Pokernews.com and the WSOP site.

With the new 40K tourney and the 1K buy-in with 6,000+ entries, it has started with a bang. Today is the final table for the 40K and playing to the end the 1.5K Omaha tourneys and day 1b of the 1K.

The FT at 40K will be televised later this summer and has a very impressive lineup. Greg Raymer, Ted Forrest, and Justin Bonomo are some of my favs but the rest of the field also has Stern, Veldhuis, Haxton, Lunkin, Schwartz and Torelli. This event will be great television

The Omaha Hi/Lo 8-or-better has 19 remaining and will play to the end. Lasts years winner, Thang Luu is currently in 3rd with Freddy Deeb in the hunt.

Day 1b of the 1K is loaded with notables. Day 1a started with 3,000 and ended with 376..they dropped at quite a clip. Today with 3,000+, no reason to think the field will be quickly thinned.

We will be watching and posting updates
