Nine days until we are on our way to Sin City.
The excitement builds.
Event #2 ends today. That is the $1,000 Buy-in Event that they've called the Stimulus Package. Some are calling it the Donkulus Tournament. That's what you get when you combine 6,000 donkeys and a stimulus, reduced buy-in tournament. "Get your WSOP Bracelet...33% off". If this one is a Donkulus Tournament what the heck do we call free poker tournaments? I'll take any suggestions under advisement. I'm partial to a combination of Free and Donkey which works out to be Freekey Tournaments. But I digress. Back to the matter at hand. The picture on this post is of a table they had to set up in the hallway by Buzio's Restaraunt. They had to fill every nook and cranny to accomodate the crowd.
The question of the day is how many players will there be in Event #28. They usually schedule these $1,500 Buy-In Tournaments to start on Saturday so that they get more players who are planning vacations involved. That being said the very first $1,500 Buy-in No Limit Hold'em Event of the 2009 WOSP, Event #7, started yesterday. There were 2,791 players to start, and they played 10 blind levels and are down to 338. It will be a short trip to the money today, when players return to the felt at 2 PM PDT as 297 will get paid.
Hellmuth didn't make it to the dinner break. Either did Freddy Deeb, Jesus, John Juanda, Justin Bonomo, Jean Robert Bellande (of Survivor fame) or Vanessa Russo. Hopefully all of the One-Outers make it to dinner.
