Busting the Main Event is a feeling like no other in poker. You’re going to have to wait another year to play in the greatest tournament in poker, you will have to watch as your vanquisher goes about attempting to win it instead of you with your chips, and, well, it hurts like a punch in the gut. It’s the dream dying.

ANDERSEN JUNIOR IS SPOT ON

There are good ways and bad ways of dealing with the pain of leaving the WSOP Main Event, but few better than this, from an 11-year-old. He’s going to be one to watch in 10 years time.

If that wasn’t good enough, there’s a serious intelligence behind his support. Either that or he’s wicked smart about getting the pizza he wants.

BRINGING THE POWER

Chad Power managed to get there with pocket queens against pocket kings on a spectacular day of drama. Gues what those folks back home are asking him?

SLIDE AWAY

Dan ‘Jungleman’ Cates visited friend and online foe Ben ‘Sauce123’ Sulsky to check out his water slides. Yes, that’s plural. Three of them. We need to know – are they color-graded for danger?

GREENWOOD THE GENTLEMAN

Crushing souls in the Main Event isn’t enough for Sam Greenwood, he has to be a really nice guy too. He’s got it all..but could he be about to become the Main Event winner?

SEYMOUR FANS, APPLAUD THEM

Richard Seymour has so many fans inside poker and NFL that he could very well be fending off fan mail with more defensive dexterity that he had to use to win three Super Bowls.

MONEYMAKER MADE UP

Ask Chris Moneymaker how his WSOP Main Event went? Go on, give him a poke.

AUSMUS PROUD OF… NOTHING

To all those players who say it’s the Main Event or nothing this time of the World Series, Jeremy Ausmus says…actually, they’re right.

ZACK ON THE ATTACK IN PLAYER OF THE YEAR RACE

Does Dan Zack want to win the WSOP Player of the Year? You bet he does….

….and here’s where he currently sits on the leaderboard. It’s Top 5 or nowhere, this close to the line.
