The World Series of Poker Main Event has certainly brought out the best and most interesting the poker world has to offer. Poker legend Phil Hellmuth made his typical flamboyant entrance, cavaliering in military style with a jeep and US army uniform (coincidently dressed as an 11-star general with a posse of 11 stunning ladies). This years WSOP is not surprisingly the largest in history with regards to prize money and number of players, however the Main Event is still smaller than 2006’s.
Some updates on the progress:
- The main event has completed four day 1 rounds so far, and busted plenty of pokers best.
- Currently the leader board chip stacks range from over $100,000 to around $3,000
Several professional athletes joined the field including golfer Paul Azinger, pitcher David Wells and UFC hard ass Chuck Liddell, who sat opposite Doyle Brunson at the ESPN feature table.
More updates on the WSOP main event soon.
