Note: The Europen version of the World Series of Poker (the WsopE) will take place in Late September/Early October. You can find out more by reading our page on the WSOP Europe and also learn how to Qualify Online for the WSOPE.
World Series of Poker 2008
The November Nine have been selected! In case you hadn't heard, this year the Main Event of the WSOP was played down to the final table. At that point, the action stops. It will pick up again in November.
This allows ESPN to put together their television coverage, and not have the viewers already know how the event concludes. So, we can watch the action up to the final table, but not have it in the back of our brains that "so-and-so" wins the tournament.
At any rate, here are the players, and their chip counts . . .
Seat 1: Dennis Phillips - 26,295,000
Seat 2: Craig Marquis - 10,210,000
Seat 3: Ylon Schwartz - 12,525,000
Seat 4: Scott Montgomery - 19,690,000
Seat 5: Darus Suharto - 12,520,000
Seat 6: David 'Chino' Rheem - 10,230,000
Seat 7: Ivan Demidov - 24,400,000
Seat 8: Kelly Kim - 2,620,000
Seat 9: Peter Eastgate - 18,375,000
Action will resume on November 9th, giving each player a 117 day break from the tables. I'm sure they'll all use that time to acquire an ever greater set of poker skills, and probably as much of a profile as they can on each other.
WSOP Schedule 2008
The schedule for the 2008 WSOP has been released. If you're interested in playing, there are a whopping 54 events this year. Almost every online poker room under the sun will be running promotions aimed at sending players to them, Full Tilt might be the leader amoung them.
