Gathering Momentum

As I made the long journey from hotel to Amazon Room, I sensed something different about today, the hustle and bustle of the corridors not only suggesting that today's field could be well into the thousands, but also that this year's World Series of Poker is really starting to gather momentum.

After covering pot limit, Omaha, seven-card-stud and a marathon shootout, Dana and I are back with the game that we grew up on, good old no limit hold'em - braced and raring to go after guzzling down a case of All-In energy drinks.

As usual, this event will be showcasing a broad variety of talent ranging from your Average Joe to the star-spangled superstars that you see on the small screen. Already spotted are the likes of Ted Lawson, Andy Black, Rob Hollink and EPT Copenhagen winner Tim Vance, although it's still early and those big names do love to stroll in fashionably late.
