Organizers of the World Series of Poker see that the attendance of this fascinating event is exceeding all optimistic expectations in spite of such negative factors as economic problems. Last year the WSOP in Las Vegas has been attended by 61000 players. Based on the results of the early events, these totals hopefully will be exceeded this year. First 3 $10000 buy-in events drew 5% more players this year, and Event 17 – $5000 No Limit Hold’ em attracted 792 players, which is increase of more than 20%. We hope this great success will go on and wish all players good luck! Brunson and Obrestad argue on public.
Doyle Brunson is involved in a public battle with young poker pro Annette Obrestad, as she mentioned him in one of her interviews commenting his ego and saying that it would be easy to beat”him as a player. One of the latest comments of Brunson is: “Must be a bad time of the month for Annette what’s her name. By the way, I’m at Bobby’s Room almost every day if she really wants to play.” One thing he is right – it is better for both of them to come back to the game rather than to air their dirty washing on public. Van Der Sloot is afraid of being murdered in Peru Prison.
Recently arrested Joran Van Der Sloot has confessed to the killing of a young college student Stephany Flores in Lima, Peru, at the hotel room registered under his name. Let us remind that Van Der Sloot was attending LAPT at the time of murder. He is being questioned about disappearance of Nathalie Holloway in exchange of his serving time in an Aruba prison. Awful fact is that for the trip to LAPT he took money from Nathalie Holloway’s mother – promising to lead her to daughter’s body. Instead of it, he took $25,000 and escaped to Lima. At the moment authorities have placed him in an isolated jail cell – for his own safety – upon his own request, as he is very afraid of being killed or raped. High-security Miguel Castro prison is one of the most notorious prisons in South Africa with inhumane conditions. News from the WSOP 2010.
British player Richard Ashby has got a bracelet and $140,467 at the WSOP 2010 in event 21 – a $1500 buy-in Seven Card Stud tournament. Ashby had already had 8 WSOP cashes but no bracelets, today’s win brought his total WSOP cashes up to 9 and his WSOP earnings to $219,748. In event 21 Ashby entered final table only third in chips, but by the end of the game he beated such poker pros as Jon Turner and Sorel Mizzi. Here are the final table results:

The biggest story so far at the 2010 World Series of Poker is not about someone winning a bracelet. It’s about someone not winning one.
Most of us mere mortals sweat tournament pay jumps. Seventh-place money might buy you a new Acura but third could buy you a house. For many of the seasoned pros making their home at the Rio this summer, the WSOP always been more about bracelets than the money, but this week inside the Amazon Room, the dedicated souls who stuck around to watch Tom “durrrr” Dwan make a run at his first bracelet got to witness the largest pay jump in WSOP history—and it’s not a number you’ll find on the official payout sheet. Van der Sloot No Off Line Poker Tourney Wins: Only Wanted Girls The young Dutchman was in Lima for APPT-Lima, but only as a fan–the San Francisco Chronicle reported he wasn’t registered to play in the event (he likely couldn’t afford the buy-ins, as he was staying in a $40-a-night rooming house). He did play some in some “ring” or cash games at the Atlantic City Casino in Lima, where the tourney was held and where he met Flores. He has also previously been seen playing poker at casinos in Aruba and the Netherlands. He is also believed to play online poker, and has had some success–he reportedly won $12,000 recently in an online poker tournament.

1.You may watch poker from home, on tv. Soccer venue – is a field, poker venue is a poker table.
2.You may watch tournament alive, and get more vivid emotions. In soccer you may notice every movement of a player, and in poker – there is a bit of mistery as you can not see the cards of players.
3.Winning in World Cup is a great national pride, winning in poker – is a personal pride and a great cash prize, of cause.
4.There are many icons in poker, as well as in soccer and any other sport: soccer has Messi and Rooney, and poker – Gus Hansen and Daniel Negreanu. Let us notice that soccer players get older and retire, and poker players – don’t.
5.About the scoring – every several minutes one of the players wins, and in soccer – there might be 1 or 2 goals a day!
6.Both – soccer and poker players can be injured during the game. Soccer players usually suffer from pain related with physical activity at the field, and poker players biggest problem is back woes – from sitting too long time, and wrist woes – from playing to much online poker.
7.Fashion exists in both games: yellow-and-blue jersey of Brazil’s soccer heros is of cause more popular than Titan’Poker shirts, but give a little bit more time and poker fashion will take its place.
There are many other ways to compare poker and soccer, and many more reasons for poker to become a sport. We wish all the players of WSOP and FIFA World Cup – good luck at the championships!
