Full Throttle

Wednesday, June 3, 2009 - Gene Bromberg

In a manner of speaking today will be the busiest day in World Series of Poker history. Today there will be SEVEN different tournaments running simultaneously, which I believe is unprecedented. Here’s a list of the events that will be in play today:

  • The final table of the $1,000 Stimulus No-Limit event. That should have played out yesterday but they only got down to the final table at 9pm. And they players decided to come back the next day rather than play through to 9am.
  • The final table of the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha tournament.
  • The final table of the $10,000 Seven-Card Stud World Championship
  • Day 2 of the $2,500 No-Limit Deuce to Seven Draw tournament.
  • Day 2 of the $1,500 No-Limit event
  • Day 1 of the $1,500 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold-Em event.
  • Day 1 of the $2,500 Pot-Limit Hold-Em/Omaha tournament.

Seven tournaments. Three final tables. And that doesn’t even include the scores of cash games going on and the usual roster of satellites. That’s a lot of balls to keep in the air during a long, long day here at the Rio.
