Thursday, October 1, 2009, Barry Shulman, father of 2009 WSOP November Niner Jeff Shulman, won the 2009 WSOP Europe Main Event. He took down Daniel Negreanu after five hours of heads-up play. [Read about the action WSOP Europe: Shulman Beats Negreanu for Main Event Bracelet] at Bluff Magazine.]

Contemplating the adage, “like father, like son“, I wonder if Jeff Shulman is following in his father’s footsteps and ask myself, “Is Jeff Shulman destined to win the 2009 WSOP Main Event in Vegas?”  What’s fueling this father-son duo to burst into the limelight with such poker prowess in 2009? Is it the dis from the WSOP? Is this a case of … “Don’t get angry…Get even!” 

I don’t know, but I do know that Jeff Shulman has hired Phil Hellmuth to coach him…and, it is fun to think about… a father and son winning majors in the same year!   Sure adds to the excitement and anticipation.

Tell me what you think. Who’s got the best chances of winning? Take a moment to cast your vote –>

Other November Niners contending at the 2009 WSOP Europe Main Event final table were James Akenhead and Antoine Saout. Good to know that they are keeping in competitive shape.
