06-05-2008, Aaron Hendrix

Amateurs Are Taking Over! Day Six Of The WSOP
06-04-2008, Aaron Hendrix
They might as well call this tournament the “Aaron doesn't know anyone tournament” because I hardly recognize a soul. In fact, I counted how many people I recognized. 32. I know at least 500 players and I'm sure there will be a few people straggling...

Hinkle Wins Marathon WSOP Event #2
06-04-2008, Jennifer Newell
The final table of Event #2 could have gone one of two ways. It could have been exciting with some familiar names fighting for the second World Series of Poker bracelet of 2008, or it could have been exciting to see some new faces and first-time...

06-03-2008, Jennifer Newell
This is a prime example of what the majority of the World Series of Poker days are like. The first day was soft day with only one event, and a $10k championship tournament at that; it was guaranteed to be a relatively short and easy-to-follow...

4:10 p.m. They've finally made the money in the $1,500 event after almost an hour of hand for hand play (if you've ever played hand for hand in a live tournament, it is absolute torture). The biggest difference between this event and the $10,000...

Here We Go – Day Four Of The WSOP
06-02-2008, Aaron Hendrix
11:45 a.m. The first Monday of the World Series. It'll be a lot quieter today than this past weekend but there will be three events going on at one point later today so in that regard it'll be busy. I'll be curious how many people play a $1,500...

Hee Haw! – Day Three Of The WSOP
06-02-2008, Aaron Hendrix
11:30 a.m. Back for another exciting day of action. Yesterday, before the $1,500 NLHE event kicked off they were playing a mix of hip hop music over the loudspeakers. The D.J. today must be of the older variety as he is playing some 60's rock...
Maria Ho Back To Try Again
06-01-2008, Aaron Hendrix
Every year as the Main Event gets closer to the final table, the question comes up “will a woman make the final table” and “can a woman win the Main Event?” With the exception of Barbara Enright who finished 5th in 1995 no woman has done so. Last...

More Observations From Day One Of The WSOP
05-31-2008, Aaron Hendrix
I returned after the dinner break to see who had fallen asleep at their table after eating a good meal. Personally, when I am playing in a big tournament I try and avoid eating a big meal at the dinner break because all it makes me want to do is...
