WSOP 2010 Here We Come!

The excitement has been building for over a year now. We are 5 sleeps away from heading to Vegas, and 7 sleeps away from hearing Jack Effel tell the Dealers to "Shuffle Up and Deal" in Event #45 of the 41st Annual World Series of Poker!

Attendance is down from last year in the $1,500 events. We'll be doing our best to help correct that. Last year we had 13 people on this pilgrimage, with 12 playing in Event #28. Pinky and I were lucky enough to cash! This year we come back in force. 25 of us making the trip to Vegas, with at least 14 playing in Event #45. It could be more if some folks run well in the nightly tournament at Caesar's. We'll be surrounding the city with various people staying at Caesar's, The Rio, Orleans, Hilton Garden Village, and other ports of call. There are many, many questions to be answered.

How many of us will cash? (The Over/Under is 4)

Will this be the year one of us brings home a bracelet (and $600,000)?

Who will win the "Last Longer" bet of $101.27, between Nannuck and Merlot? (I'll be posting odds on this prop bet as we get closer to game time)

Will the ancient accordion player still be at Battista's Hole in the Wall, for our WSOP Eve Dinner Extravaganza? (I'm afraid this is less than even money. He was old. Very very old)

Who will win the "Last Player Standing Not In The Money" (More commonly referred to as the Nannuck Award)? (Odds are good that it could be Nannuck again)

Will Cosmos actually set foot in Vegas? (Odds are 3 to 1 against him setting foot.)

To watch the video of last years adventure you can go to our website at www.oneouterspoker.com and look for the WSOP Event #28 tab.


Viva Las Vegas!!!!!!!!
