Started tonight with the $50K buy in 8 Game Mix(replaced the HORSE Championship).

Anyone else heading out there in the 1 1/2 months?

I've went and walked the room with friends for a day or two, each of the last four years, but will not this year.

It's a shame that David 'Chip' Reese passed away..the greatest all-around/Horse player ever..he or Ungar when his head was right.

To the 'Big Game' regulars, it is the true test, and garners their respect.

I wonder what the true number is?

I.E. Those that pulled 50K out of their own pockets, versus those that are staked?

I'm guessing bout 50-60% based on their entry historys and the names I've seen so far.

Both the Binger brothers satellited in yesterday in different tourneys.

I'm heading there Wednesday of next week for a couple of days. I've been to Vegas many times, but not for the WSOP. Looking forward to it like no other Vegas trip.

Does this really belong on a sports board? Can we get some threads on the checkers and dominoes championships next?

How about darts? That's usually on Fox Sports too.

Most of the poker players on TD use More Sports. Now go wash the sand out of your vag.

Poker just irks me because it seems like a lot of the pasty white dudes like Hellmuth try to act like badasses whenever they win a hand.

Then don't watch it. Male figure skating bothers me if I watch it so I chose not to.
