2008 WSOP Event 42 Winner Dan LaCourse
Somebody once made the reasonable observation that paybacks are hell. This was pretty much the theme of the Seniors No Limit Holdem event. Day 2 ended with Dale Eberle knocking Dan LaCourse out of the chip lead on the last hand, and Day 3 ended with Dan LaCourse knocking Dale Eberle out of the tournament and collecting his bracelet on the last hand of the day. If given a chance, Dale would probably have given up his Day 2 chip lead in order to be the one doing the eliminating at the end of Day 3. At the start of Day 3, only 50,000 chips separated Eberle and LaCourse.
| 2008 WSOP Diary, July 1: Marty Smyth Takes Down Pot Limit Omaha World Championship
The cheering section for Marty Smyth as he played for the Event #50 ($10,000 Pot Limit Omaha) championship may as well have been wearing togas and singing "Louie, Louie": they were that loud. This was the sort of rowdy crowd that would have been right at plotting the downfall of Dean Wormer with John Belushi and the boys during the film "Animal House". With these sorts of people cheering him on, it is no wonder that Marty lost track of his hand and didn't notice that his clubs were working themselves into a bracelet winning flush. According to the new champion, "I didn't realize I had clubs."
| 2008 WSOP Forecast, Day Thirty Five: Shuffle Up and Deal!
Today is the day! One of many "the days" to come, actually. It is the 35th day of the 39th annual World Series of Poker, and the start of the most highly anticipated poker event of the year - the 2008 WSOP Main Event, the $10,000 World Championship No Limit Holdem tournament that every poker player in the world dreams of winning, at least once. The event has been on a steady rise in attendance and popularity since its inception in 1970 when only a handful played. In 2003 Chris Moneymaker won $2.5 million thanks to a $40 satellite that got him a seat in the event; since that moment the poker boom skyrocketed, and attendance and payouts went up along with it - until last year.
| Boring
Boredom is a horrible thing and can force even the best of us into doing things that common sense tells us is a bad idea. While most of us are decent enough people not to go in search of under aged nookie, we may very well let it affect our poker game. At the poker table there can be long stretches where you don't see anything that resembles a playable hand. There is nothing more boring than folding over and over again.
| A Wing, Some Cards, and Courage
There have been almost fifty final tables played this year at the World Series of Poker with, in most cases, 9 players going into the final day of play. Of those 9 players, every one of them will go all in at some point in time, and in the end, 8 of them will wind up on the wrong end of exchange. There is nothing profound in that statement: it is just a statement of fact regarding the ways of tournament poker.
