666
Who says Poker is the Devils game? 666 Is the number of entrants who will be paid in this years Main Event at the World series of Poker.
6844 runners entered, the second highest entry ever was whittled down from the 4 day 1’s down to 2852 runners. Day 2a filtered through 465 compared to 459 last year.
So Day 2b players will be fighting tooth and nail for the chance to be in a final that won’t happen until November this year!!! Leaving the top 9 millionaires a chance to earn a little extra on the side from all the Hype and expected sponsorship offers.
On a side note, this year saw the introduction of a “No excessive celebrating” rule, allegedly brought in due to a particular Rain Khan’s exploits last year, when he went through day 3 as chip leader, closely followed by the Great Dane himself, Gus Hanson. Still a lot of pro’s this year from day 2a and also a good British showing …………. heres hoping!!!!!!!
