WSOP Report Card

Christopher Vitch isn't sugarcoating his first half of the WSOP. Despite finding a couple of unexpected bright spots, the three-time bracelet winner admitted things haven't gone according to plan.
"It has not been going well," Vitch told PokerNews. "The highlight, I guess, was randomly doing well in a couple of no-limit events, including the one I'm in now, the 3K 6-Max and the Super Turbo Bounty, which is like the game I basically never play. So those are sort of found money, I guess, when you can do OK in those."
The disappointment has come in the tournaments that are usually his bread and butter.
"The low lights, I guess, would just be all my normal $10K events. Nothing exciting and two soft bubbles," Vitch said.
As for a mid-series report card, the mixed-game specialist was harsher on himself than most players would be.
"I guess I'd give myself about a D right now," he said. "But I'm hoping for some success, as we have a few big events left, including the 50K (PPC) starting tomorrow."
