A lot of you have been asking where I am in Vegas. I am in Europe with my family, have been busy looking for the Professor, and getting ready for the €3,000 + €300 WPT Slovenia which gets underway at Casino Portorož on the 17th July. I wonder how many players have the true heart and commitment to make the trip after their Main Event bust out. I have been to this area before – a...Nicolas Fierro Leads 19 PartyPoker Repre...

It doesn’t matter how you add it up, when the world’s greatest poker event opened up it’s doors, 6,865 people ponied up $10,000 for a chance to sit down and play.
Some were, professional, some were amateurs, some were daydreamers and some had never even played the live game. Every single ingredient in that primordial poker stew had one thing in common – hope.

An incredible 2,490 players survived the tumultuous rides that were day 1b and day 1d and they are all squeezed into the Pavilion and Amazon room all hoping for Groundhog Day. The leading PartyPoker qualifier was Chilean hotshot Nicolas Fierro, who bagged up an impressive 106,950 back on day 1b. Not content with a mere 106,950 chips Fierro went about growing that stack and in the first...

The Main Event of the WSOP is underway and it’s been a great week here for PartyPoker. The PP qualifiers are all in town and we’ve been enjoying lots of what Vegas has to offer. A few days ago a group of us headed to Mandalay Bay to see Steel Panther, an incredible 80′s hair band with a Spinal Tap twist and a serious edge! They’re well known for pushing a lot of...A Carpenter Carves His Way Through Day 2...

Day 2a of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) started with 2,031 runners and 45 of them qualified through PartyPoker.

The thought must have crossed the mind of Fred Berger, Berger starting the day as our chip leader with 209,500. Cedric Annen was leading the way for the...

It was the World Series of Poker’s (WSOP) last day one and it was set to be a monumental humdinger of an affair. Saturday saw the overall field size rise to 4,063 entrants after 2,181 turned up for day 1c and with day 1d always giving us the biggest field size of the year the WSOP officials were expecting over 3,000 people to turn up at the Rio hoping to have some plastic chips in a...

I have to admit to being surprised at the numbers that have turned out for the WSOP main event, but really I shouldn’t be. Because I remember standing in the Pavilion room at the Rio only last year and listening to the crickets, which is exactly what it sounds like when three thousand people are all in a room playing tournament poker and the only noise is the clacking of the chips. A...Kevin Tran leads 27 qualifiers through t...

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event Day 1c was all about expansion. For the first time since the greatest poker event on earth kicked off, we had tables in both the Amazon Room and the Pavilion. The reason we had to expand was the fact that 2,181 entrants sat down to play poker and that total was greater than the combined first two days.

At the start of day 1a of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event it was multiple bracelet winner Doyle Brunson who grabbed the microphone and the attention of the whole room as he kick-started proceedings. Today was the start of day 1b and it was the turn of a slightly younger gold bracelet winner who took over that particular mantle.
