Well for those of you that were interested the big guns of the World Series Of Poker have all fallen by the wayside leaving this year's prize to be won by an unknown.
So why did the talent fall you may ask ? Well there's only one answer for this.............sheer luck and nothing but luck. Joe Hachem last year's champion fell ignominiously amongst the also rans when so much was expected of him. But the fact that the other players of distinction such as Brunson, Ivey , Matusow, Hellmuth, Harman and Duke have also left the table without there being a notable player left to carry the torch of the big guns. The tournament will become anti climactic. The fans will now have to look to a new name to affix their sights on.


That being said when the favorites fall from grace we tend to set our sights upon the feel good story of the moment. And to date there haven't been many. So as I said we'll have to affix our sights on an amenable player who's luck will carry him through to the final table. For those of you out there who are poker fans sit back and enjoy the spectacle while it lasts.
Phil Ivey , Phil Hellmuth , Doyle Brunson
