Wsop 2007

[JackT]

Well, it starts today (June 1) with the Casino Employees tourney and the $5000 mixed holdem tourney.

There are so many events this year (more variety than previous years), and turnout is expected to be poorer than last year -- bracelets aplenty, ripe for the taking?

Are any of you going to play in any of these? Any predictions on turnout or results? Have you ever played in a WSOP event? Stories, anecdotes, thoughts? Does anyone here want to stake me to play in one?

I'll post the schedule in the next post....

Today's $1500 buy-in Limit Holdem event (#6) would have been the one to play in, it seems.... smaller-than-usual turn out of pros, apparently, while the dead money remains high as in all of these WSOP events.

Barring satelliteing your way in, it's probably the lowest amount you'd have to pony up these days to play against the likes of Phil Ivey, Jeff Madsen, J.C. Tran, David Sklansky, Men "The Master" Nguyen, Bill Chen, Chip Jett, David Chiu, Dutch Boyd, Eric Froehlich, Joe Sebok, Kathy Liebert, Liz Lieu, Mark Gregorich, Phil Hellmuth, T.J. Cloutier, Andy Bloch and Mark Seif (all whom are playing in this event). A lot of those guys are only playing the $10K and $5K events when bracelets aren't at stake.
