Late for a Very Important Date
I'm not sure what it is about the WSOPE Main Event, but, at kick-off, it has to be the worst attended event on the calendar. As Barry Shulman blows the starting whistle downstairs, upstairs, three tables are commencing heads-up. One involves Nenad Medic, who just gave a walk to queens, much to his opponent's chagrin.
Receiving top marks for punctuality are Nikolay Evdakov, Markus Golser, Greg Mueller, Chance Kornuth, Daniel Negreanu, Vanessa Rousso and the rarely sighted Tony Bloom. Right in the corner is a line-up tougher than a two-dollar steak: Mike Matusow, Juha Helppi, Eli Elezra and Jeff Madsen.
