Sounding Off: MIA from the WSOP Europe, “Cre8ive” Gold, and the NBCHUPC
What a week in poker. The 2011 World Series of Poker Europe is in full swing, and plenty of great story lines are flowing out of Cannes about big winners, missing players, and some harsh words for American players from last year's WSOP Europe Main Event Champion, James Bord. Throw in the cancellation of one of my favorite poker shows, and I have plenty to sound off on, so let’s not waste any time.
Goodbye, NBCHUPC: One of my favorite events each year has always been NBC’s National Heads-Up Poker Championship. Unfortunately, the competition will not return for its eighth installment as Adam...
"Interestingly, Bord is not a part of the European team for that event" ... how about "Obviously, Bord is not part of the European Team". It would take a pandemic disease wiping out over 50% of the European poker pros before Bord would make the cut for any European poker team. The comments just seem to be pandering to the sportsbet sponsor he is being backed by.
Too bad about the Head Up Poker Championship ... I think it would be very smart for London to host it in 2012, to sort of make up for losing the WSOPE. Hey, maybe Bord can play in it and show everyone how good he is,
It is reasonable to expect NBC willing to release the format given an option to get it back once the dust settles from the U.S. DOJ Poker Prohibition that is ongoing.
