2011 World Series of Poker Day 11: Pot Limit Destruction

AlCantHang — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 20:29:17 +0000

Yesterday was an exercise is watching two tournaments which would play out completely different. No one has been able to provide me with a reasonable explanation why it happens, but most pot limit tournaments tend to dust off their field an astonishing pace. Yesterday was no different with the $1,500 Pot Limit Hold’em tournament which [...]

2010 World Series of Poker Day 25: The Match That Wouldn’t End

AlCantHang — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 20:38:38 +0000

Every time I think I have a handle on the play at the 2010 WSOP they throw me for another loop. You can usually expect the big buyin limit/split pot games to go into the early morning to declare a champ, the 6-handed and Pot Limit games usually hit their number at a reasonable hour, [...]

2010 World Series of Poker: Week One in Pictures

AlCantHang — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 04:56:57 +0000

The crutch of a weak writer is a post with nothing but photos. Luckily we have access to some of the best in the room and I make no claim to be anything other than a hack. The first week of the WSOP is in the books so we thought we would share some of [...]

Perry Friedman rocks the Full Tilt Poker “grill” to go with his corn rows I’ve generally stuck to doing a “Week in Pictures” during the preliminary events of the WSOP but I now realize that I’ll be getting more photos than I know what to do with now that we’ve come to the Main Event. [...]

2009 World Series of Poker – The Week in Pictures

AlCantHang — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 20:03:38 +0000

In my other life as a completely unprofessional blogger (I am semi-pro at best in this space), I always take the stand that posting nothing but pictures on your site is just the crutch of a weak blogger. Words are hard, pretty picture keep the masses coming back. However, pictures can have the great effect [...]
