This is the most un-poker friendly site I have ever seen.

The Quilting with Karen site members like poker better than you guys do.

Dinner break. Looks like I will be up for a while watching this... while hugging my autographed picture of Negreanu.

I don't think people really care about WSOP like they used to. I watched religiously, now don't really pay it any attention.

Poker is not televised or marketed the way it used to be when Full Tilt and PokerStars were live in America. It will come back once online poker is again allowed nationwide.

I have been watching some of the more interesting final tables from Vegas this past month and checking in on the Main Event. It's the #1 poker event in the world. The winner will be remembered in poker circles like a Superbowl champion.

Because Negreanu is still alive, I have been paying more attention. Would love to see him in November fighting for the ultimate poker prize (and the $7 Mil).

Darn, Negreanu got knocked out in 11th place. He called in the small blind with A spades-4 diamonds then went all in after seeing an A diamonds-K clubs-10 diamonds flop. Other player called with J diamonds-3 diamonds with a straight draw and flush draw. Turn was a 3 hearts giving the other guy more outs (any diamond, J, 3, Q). Negreanu had around a 65% chance of winning the hand after the turn but a Q showed up on the river. From winning enough chips to cruise into the final table to being out of the tournament was decided at the turn of one card.
