Well, we are 2/3 of the way through events for the 2012 WSOP and just under 2 weeks from the start of the main event.
Interesting wins this past week:
- First WSOP winner from Japan Naoya Kihara
- First female winner in 249 open events, Allyn Jaffrey Shulman
- First time three members from the same family played at final tables in ONE week (Barry, Jeff, and Allyn Shulman)
This week will have 7 Hold’em tournaments. Three events in particular that will highlight the week for me:
- The Poker Players Championship (mixed games) tournament starts Sunday
- The annual Ladies No-Limit Hold’em Championship tournament begins Friday
- A non-bracelet tournament, the Doubles No Limit Hold’em which starts on Saturday.
