It's On!

It's On!Ok, after weeks of waiting, the main event of the WSOP is finally here, tonight on ESPN at 6 PM PST. No excuse now for anyone not to watch, unless they are glued to the Olympics. I'll be switching back and forth myself.

Who knows who will take the bracelet this year. The field is far too deep to predict, but if I was a betting man, I'd put my money on Phil Ivey. The guy is steel. As long as some of my favorite players (Daniel Negreanu, Layne Flack, John Juanda, et al.) have a good tourney and show up at the final table (and Phil Hellmuth doesn't) , I'll be a happy poker fan. Enjoy the show.

I know it's kind of sad, but this is the one event that could pull me away from the Olympics.

I don't know what it is about the WSOP, especially the "main event," but it's one of the best things on television.

I feel like a Norman Chad groupie.

And after an inauspicious first broadcast, the early rounds got better and better.

15 minutes away from air time!

I'm rooting for Howard Lederer. I've never seen him win. I'm also a fan of Ted Forrest. I guess I like watching the understated, calm, white dudes. Although I wouldn't be upset if Ivey won either - I like his style.

Poker geeks - a new breed. ;-)

Damn. Almost all of my favorite players got canned on day one. I'm going to have to realign my allegiances. It was still a great show.
