And on the Seventh Day …
Date: Mon, Jul 14, 2008
No one’s got a better collection of WSOP factoids than Nolan Dalla (no offense, KevMath, you’re also a fact gathering machine) … and here are the WSOP media director’s notes about Day 6 (money, players, storylines, countries, stats, etc.) with potentially relevant info about the field moving forward: [Hmm, maybe it is still the Year of [...]
(Way) Outside the WSOP - (Main Event Day 7)
Date: Mon, Jul 14, 2008
Today’s the final day of play in the Amazon Room, as the 27 players remaining will play down to the November Nine, as those players scatter around the world an the vultures agents that represent them in an attempt to maximize the profile and sponsorship potential of a relatively unknown group of players [...]
Slice of WSOP Life: Indefinite Leave to Remain
Date: Mon, Jul 14, 2008
This weekend wasn’t about life-changing money so much as it was about life-easing money for those who went super-deep (top 1 percent), but not deep-deep-deep in the main event: Margo Outhred reading David Sedaris’ latest (When You Are Engulfed in Flames) while awaiting important updates via text from her husband Alex.

And lo and behold, he’s frickin’ second in chips! 11.5 million! Go craigmarq! He says he doesn’t really play in [...]
Matusow Out All Hopes Hinge on Last MySpace Friend Standing
Date: Mon, Jul 14, 2008
Ouch … on a baddish beat where his trip aces with a jack kicker lost to a trip aces with a nine. That means with 27 players left, there are only two I had heard of before the event started: Brandon Cantu and Tiffany Michelle. I gotta say, though our interaction has been limited to accepting [...]
Tao of Pokerati: Payouts and Payoffs
Date: Mon, Jul 14, 2008
I continue to work the hallways and set up executive-journo shop this time outside the payouts cage — where Pauly teaches me how to figure out who’s really backing whom … but not before we get distracted by a player sponsorship deal taking shape right before our very eyes, as a PartyPoker representative exchanges pleasantries [...]
