Unfortunately, not every room has the means of settling this argument, and so players are left to merely debate about who the top players are. But Bodog Poker doesn’t leave this question up to debate as things are sorted out on their Leaderboards. Bodog provides its players with Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly Leaderboards for the purpose of seeing who the best players are, and also to see who will get the big prizes they give out through the Leaderboards.

Having Fun Now, Nichoel Peppe Making A Deep Run In The Main Event

I had seen Nichoel Peppe the previous few days of the Main Event and each time I walked by her table, I noticed her chip stack growing. I watched one hand on day 4 where she check raised her aggressive male counterpart and got him to fold. I thought to myself, “I need to keep an eye on this one.” I'm a shy person by nature so it took me a little while to approach her and start a conversation. One day to be precise.
