Walk into the Amazon Room and you’re confronted with hundreds of poker tables and ten-foot-tall portraits and criss-crossing metal latticework and huge advertising banners and scores of famous people sauntering by. It can be a bit of a sensory overload. And then you turn your head and see something that would stop any show, no matter how gaudy and surreal:
That is a 1970 Corvette Stingray, and she’s beautiful. This gorgeous piece of American engineering will be awarded to the winner of the Champions Invitational, the tournament restricted to previous winners of the WSOP Main Event. That means Phil Hellmuth might end up driving off into the sunset in this lovely, lovely machine. So this is what envy feels like…
