ESPN WSOP Coverage Review – August 4, 2009

ESPN decided to drastically curtail the number of WSOP tournaments it was going to televise this year, reducing the number of events to just three: The 40K no limit hold’em, the Champion’s Invitational and the $10,000 Main Event. In addition, they chose to air the Ante Up for Africa charity event, which will be televised next week. Tonight’s event was the Champion’s Invitational, featuring past Main Event champions (with the notable exception of Russ Hamilton) facing off in a freeroll with a vintage Corvette as the prize for the winner.

Meet the 2009 WSOP November Nine

It wasn’t an easy road by any means. Eight days may not seem like a lengthy journey to most, but in tournament poker, those eight days are long, exhausting, and stressful. There were 6,494 players who started down the road, but only nine of them made it to their destination. Those November Nine were then set to take a long break and return to Las Vegas in November to play for millions of dollars and the most coveted title of poker, thus finally ending the last leg of the journey.

Main Event, Day 7 – It's Going To Be A Very Long Day 8

When I first hit the Rio in the morning, I run into Tom Schneider and his wife Julie. I get Tom to rub my bald head for good luck and talk to Julie. She seems in great spirits and is looking forward to the day. Tom wins a big pot early and that enthusiasm continues. I go back there shortly before the break, however, and the body language has changed. Julie's slumping a little bit and the smile and twinkle in her eye have vanished. “How's he doing?” I ask. “Not good,” she says and tells me he's not feeling well. Read more

A Chip And A Chair Not Quite Enough, Bradley Craig's Main Event Experience

With the blinds at 200/400 and an ante of 50, Bradley “Brad” Craig finds himself with 450 chips. It's just enough to cover the big blind and ante. Without doubt, his dream is over. Yes, there's the old adage of a chip and a chair, but honestly how many times do you actually hear of someone coming back on day one of the Main Event with just one big blind to win? Or even make it into the money for that matter? It requires an inordinate amount of luck because of the stack size of the player to survive the countless all-ins they will undoubtedly face.Fast Forward to Day 5. Read more

A Day In The Spotlight, More With Nichoel Peppe

I get to the Rio about 10 a.m. and find out soon after that Nichoel Peppe, the young woman I spent the day with the previous day, is going to be at the secondary feature table to begin the day. I had gotten her and her husband's cell phone numbers the night before and not wanting to bother Nichoel as she got ready for play, I called Tad's number. He answers after a few rings.“Tell your girl to put her best makeup on,” I say.“Feature table?” he asks.“You got it,” I tell him.“Nice,” he says. “Thanks for telling us! We'll see you in a bit.

Main Event Day 7: Moon Takes 20 Million Chips and Lead into Final Day

It was to be a day of decisions. Whether those decisions had to do with what to eat for a pre-tournament meal or how much to reraise on the turn, the decisions would and could change 64 people’s lives. Busting out of the tournament today would garner players at least $100K, but soaring through with a monster chip lead and making the final table could end in millions of dollars. Each and every decision was important on Day 7.There are many factors that go into a run to the final table of the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event. Read more
