The Works

The Works is a catchall used to describe something that encompasses everything pertaining to a subject. At PokerWorks, we love the term ‘works' because it gives us a lot of leeway in using many subjects and we don't have to specialize. We feel that's the way poker was meant to be played and perceived - a combination of everything that makes poker the great game that it is.

How would one begin to describe the WSOP other than as being part of The Works? The WSOP is comprised of a number of tournaments with different buy-ins and games, employees that spend 24/7 on site to make it happen, the media that portrays it, players that come from around the globe to play their hearts out and champion to show poker as the great game it is...a game of people played with cards. Prepare to witness the GAME, and all of its intricacies, through the pages of The Works.

HORSEing Around – More From Day 27 Of The WSOP

Outside of the Main Event, the 50K H.O.R.S.E. event is without exception the biggest tournament at the WSOP. There is more media here... the press rows are filled for the first time the entire time we've been here. There is more security monitoring the tournament area to make sure no stray spectators get in and that nothing goes wrong. Jun 26, 2008

I Hate Money – Day 27 Of The WSOP

1:30 p.m.Tournament director, Jack Effel, started the proceedings in the $1,000 NLHE with rebuys with an announcement that changed the dynamics of many tables. In these events, it is not uncommon for three or four players to agree to go all in blind pre-flop. Insanity ensues for the first five to ten hands or so before play resumes to normal. Jun 25, 2008

AARP Takes Over 2008 WSOP – Day 25 Of The WSOP

3:00 p.m.I am a harsh critic of closed events in poker. To me, events like the Women's event and today's $1,000 Seniors NLHE event have no place in poker. When I go visit my Dad at his Florida retirement community, his buddies always want to play poker with me because they know that's what I do for a living. Jun 23, 2008

Let Us In! Day 23 Of The WSOP

Nothing like a weekend $1,500 event to get the day started. I walk in and there is a line stretched around the corner. It is family members and friends waiting to get in to watch the tournament, several of them pleading with the guy guarding the door to let them in. Jun 21, 2008

Runner-Runner Redraws – Day 21 of The WSOP

2:00 p.m.I start off watching the restart to the $1,500 PLO with rebuys event. I have one thing to say. Shallow money PLO is not for the faint of heart. In the matter of ten minutes I saw the following:Clonie Gowen get it all in with another player. Both of them held aces. Clonie's other two cards were Q-8 and her opponent's other two card's were pocket 6's. Jun 19, 2008

An Accident Waiting To Happen – Day 20 Of The WSOP

12:30 p.m.As I'm driving into the Rio, there is a Rio security van blocking the roadway and I see a big bus up ahead and it looks like it hit a barricade. A security guard sends me on a brief detour and I pass the bus and notice that a taxi has hit it. This doesn't surprise me because if I've learned one thing about Vegas, it is that their cabbies are absolutely insane. Jun 19, 2008
