2005 World Series of Poker Coverage
Posted at July 13, 2005 1:50 AM
This year's World Series of Poker main event started this week, and as of tonight it's down to crunch time, the last 100 players or so.
It won't air on ESPN until later this month, but for those like me who are geeky enough to care there are several sites basically live-blogging it: Cardplayer.com, Gutshot.com and Pokerwire.com are all updating every few minutes.. Also good commentary at Pauly's Tao of Poker blog and Paul Phillips' Livejournal. Paul (a top pro in his own right) is also doing a daily column on the tournament for Slate.
**SPOILERS BELOW**
-----------------------
As of tonight my man Phil Ivey (the only top-ranked Black player) is whooping just about everybody's ass, holding 2 million chips with less than 100 heads left. Other big names near the top are last year's champ Greg Raymer(!!), Mike Matusow and John Juanda.
