The latest update from Las Vegas and the exciting World Series of Poker is that the nine millionaire winners have been grouped up after the many play-offs. In exactly 114 days, on the 7th of November, they will meet up again at the Vegas poker tables, this time for the no-limit Texas Holdem Game main event. The one to classify last out of these 9 players will win the $1.26 million and then it s all uphill from there with the prizes increasing in this richest poker tournament ever played. Still 114 days left, almost 4 months but the top prize of the $8.55 million crown will be definitely worth the wait and all the training practice the 9 contestants will face before that.
July 3rd saw the start of the Main Event Tournament located at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Every contestant started out with 30,000 starting chips with an unprecedented field of players split over four days.
Poker pro major, Phil Ivey, one of these 9 final players commented, “So I guess I’m going to actually start watching some poker on TV. So far I’ve just made the final table, so it’s a pretty big accomplishment. Winning it would be top of the line. Everybody here knows what they’re doing and they have good tournament strategy. To me it’s a poker game. I love to play so I’m just going to do my best, trust my reads and perform the best I can.” Ivey, obviously confident in his poker skills, did not comment further on the strategy he will use against the eight opponents.
Ivey is not new to WSOP wins as he classified seven times, such as at 10th place in 2003, 20th in 2005 and 23rd in 2002 as well as the two gold bracelets wins this year. He has won $3.46 million at the series so far, is a favourite for this year’s event where he will start off with 5 percent of the chips in play, 9.75 million.(read more)
