WSOP Updates?
Where will be the best place to get updates on the main event this year?
It used to be poker3000.com, but they seem to have quit giving updates during the day. pokerpages has a forum that updates a feww times a day with what is happening, but im looking for somewhere who will give good coverage of the main event.
So far all ive found is what to use for final table updates, but where will i get good updates on the first 6 days of the event?

Also, they are splitting the groups in half with 1300 playing on day 1 and the other half on day 2.
Star has 315 players, and Party Poker has 300 playes.
!st prize estimated at 5 million, with 2-4 paying over 1 million each.
I heard the payout structure is going to be a killer with only top 100 getting money (top 4%, SAY WHAT?)
The reports i was getting at midnight EST time last night was that 2200 spots were filled and once everyone learned that the cap was set at 2600 players a line up formed that came out the doors and along the Fremont Experience walls. The atmosphere is like never before they say, it';s a massive party waiting to launch.
Next year i will not miss this excitment.
Go James Worth and Ricky Grijalva!! (my horses)
By the way I was also informed that with 2600 players they were going to pay out 26 tables of 9 players each, not sure where you heard 100 paid.
This site seems to have the best 'late-breaking' news. You have to register (for free) but it's worth it.

I found this on www.finaltablepoker.com

If I were Sam, I'd rather do it myself. Best feeling in the world to do the dirty work and bust out a nemesis!
I say within the next few years, poker will be so "mainstream" we will have a live broadcast or better yet, TPC, The Poker Channel!
Doubtful.
Seems like just a waste of $10K to me, not to mention a brutal stab at the integrity of the tournament.

A well-known dealer at the WSOP posted it on another board.
that is sick man !
Wow, go Dave!
wtg Dave!
pokerpages is not loading? :shock:
Here is a recent hand he won for a BIG pot!
someone moves all in with AdKh and Michael Laing calls him with 3c6c.
Flop: Kc3s4h (giving allin top pair, and ML bottom pair with backdoor flush)
Turn: Jc
River: 2c (ML hits his flush and takes down a HUGE pot). WOW!
how big was this pot? significant? :?:
WTF!!! I would be pissed the fuck off if I was holding AK...
I wouldn't think so.
A player with much higher than usual *variance* is going to be the end of Day 1 chip leader. Genereally this is a player who put too many chips at risk too often, but happened to get lucky frequently. (The hand in question lends evidence to support this.)
Sklansky writes a chapter about this in TPFAP called, "Why the First Day Leader at the WSOP Never Wins."

With less than fifteen minutes to play on day three of the WSOP, Annie Duke has busted out. Staring at a board of 4-6-5-5, she pushed all in with K-Q, only to have her foe call with A-Q and have the hand hold up.
