Update So Far From the World Series of Poker
Well I have been officially working for two weeks at the World Series of Poker and I must say that this has been a fantastic experience. I have worked at least parts of 3 events so far. I first worked Event #2, which was the $1,500 buy-in NL event. I worked that for days 1a and 1b. I had a couple interesting posts about Scotty Nguyen on day two in which we talked a little.
Next, I worked Event #6 which is the $1,500 Omaha 8 or Better event. That was a great event. I worked it from start to finish. Saw a couple of people I knew and had a good time. Got to cover my first final table. I even got in a couple of media shots and I “may” get to be on TV as a result of that one. We will see this fall.
Right now, I am working Event #14, which is the $10,000 buy-in Seven Card Stud World Championship. This one has been the most fun so far. I am doing a lot of coverage on a living legend of Vegas, Archie “The Greek” Karas. He is the man that came out to Vegas with $50, ran it up to $40,000,000 and then lost it all back. It’s been a lot of fun covering him and all the other pros. I will be covering the Stud World Championship to its conclusion.
Of course, if you want to follow my stuff, go to www.pokernews.com and click on the live reporting link. Any of my events, look for the nick of compncards, and you will find my stuff.
Got to go. I have to be at work in an hour. (If you want to call it work)
