The 2009 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event final table was just about as stacked as you could ask. Granted it would have been nice to see Texas Dolly or Men “The Master” make it through. Tony Cousineau has a shot and who wouldn’t have loved to see former footie star Teddy Sheringham take [...]
