WSOP Time!

Haven't updated the old blog in quite a while, but the WSOP is on and there are 5 Limit Hold'em events! Here's the line-up:

Event 14 - Fri, Jun 5th 5:00 PM - Limit Hold'em 6-Handed - $2,500 updates
Event 26 - Fri, Jun 12th 12:00 PM - Limit Hold’em - $1,500
Event 33 - Mon, Jun 15th 5:00 PM - World Championship Limit Hold'em - $10,000
Event 38 - Fri, Jun 19th 12:00 PM - Limit Hold’em - $2,000
Event 50 - Fri, Jun 26th 5:00 PM - Limit Hold’em Shootout - $1,500

Event 14 is underway - actually the final table of it is playing down right now. Daniel Negreanu is still in it with only four remaining. If Negreanu should take it down, then that will be his third bracelet in LHE, putting him in leagues with Phil Hellmuth only. Otherwise he will have to settle for keeping company with Tony Ma, David Chiu, Erik Seidel, and Jay Heimowitz, who all, like Daniel, have two LHE bracelets.

I think this is the first ever 6-handed LHE tournament in the WSOP. It is a format that has gained a huge following on the internet and its nice to see that the situation is not lost on the WSOP organizers.

Nice to also see that the organizers have scheduled it so that there is a Limit HE event every Friday in June, making it perhaps a bit easier to organize around the schedule - at least for the likes of the Mayor.
