WSOP Event #2 Headed for Final Table
A couple of well known players may be headed for today's final table of event #2 of the 2008 WSOP. Former WSOP Main Event winner and 2008 National Heads-Up Poker Champion Chris Ferguson will be dueling for the $831,462 going to the winner. Perry Friedman, popular poker pro and Tilt Boy should be there for the finish of this record setting event.
Two tables of players (18) returned today at 1:30 pm after players pulled an all-nighter and finally voted to call it quits at 6 this morning with 18 players remaining. If this event is any indication of tournament poker and poker in general's future it promises to be a very bright one indeed. After major legal setbacks for Internet poker rooms (UEIGA) the past couple of years, this record turnout proves the world poker community remains dedicated to their favorite card game. Much of the credit for the increasing popularity of the WSOP and poker must be given to Jeffrey Pollack and his staff at Harrah's.
