World Series of Poker

November has been an exciting month for poker with the final results of the 2010 WSOP Main Event behind us. John Duhammel earned the title, the poker bracelet, and the approximately $9 million prize pool.

The WSOP Circuit event is currently going on at Harvey’s in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. Last night I was excited to play in the Omaha Limit High Tournament finishing in 9th place. Unfortunately, the participation was only four tables so only the top five got paid. I happen to enjoy Omaha Hi-Low better than Texas Hold’em and thought I was participating in a Hi-Lo Tournament. This was the first time I’ve played Omaha High only.

The poker tables are ablaze in Tahoe with 150 – 400 players in each event – three tournaments a day (except the Omaha). The live games are extremely busy as well with most tables in play. It’s certainly keeping the Harvey’s employees, especially the floor staff, very challenged.

Saturday, November 20, is the next tournament I plan to play. It’s the Ladies Texas Hold’em Tournament. Several of my poker league players will be here to play as well – Go Poker Pirates! And several of us will hit the poker tables at Harvey’s to vie for the money and the prestige. Last year our Poker Pirates Mimi and Candy ended in the money with 2nd and 4th place finishes. Hopefully this year one of our poker friends will win the event!

I’ll keep you posted on the results of the Ladies Tournament. Be sure to visit our web site at www.morethanpokertables.com to purchase your own poker table and accessories for your home games and tournaments.
