Giving Credit Where Credit Is Due

Tournament Director Jack Effel just shared an anecdote about how this event came to be.

"My wife, Elisha, and I were sitting around the house and talking about the World Series and wondering how could we commemorate it being the 40th annual WSOP," Effel explained. It was Elisha, he says, who came up with the idea for the $40K buy-in event.

Effel then handed the mic to our announcer for today's event, and he is currently introducing the players -- just a few more minutes and the cards will be in the air.
