Many Players Making Memories

Just a Few of the Tables In the Amazon Room
Just a Few of the Tables In the Amazon Room
For many people, playing in the World Series of Poker for the first time is a dream come true. But many people wonder what it’s like to play in your first WSOP event. First, the sight of the room is just astounding. The Amazon Room is a sea of poker tables. Posted along the walls are the pictures of past main event champions and players of the years. This is enough to overwhelm some players.

Next comes actually sitting down to play. Many people experience nervousness, excitement, fear, and a whole gambit of other emotions. For some players, they will come face to face with a big name pro. Unlike other sports, poker allows even the most inexperienced amateur to play against the best in the world. Some like the challenge, while others like the thrill. Most of the players that come out today will leave with nothing but a story, but the stories and memories of their first event will last a lifetime.
