Simply fascinating stuff...a string of very brief podcasts by Phil Gordon on this year's World Series of Poker. Scroll down to Day 1a and go forward chronologically from there. It's just great great stuff. Gordon is first somewhat in awe of the scene, and admittedly nervous the day before he begins play. Then on his first day, there are four fascinating tidbits - driving to the event, his status at the first and second break, and the end of his tournament.
It has to be excruciating to be a world class pro and run into an army of buffoons in an event like this, and get beaten by luck. Though I have to say if I were Gordon, I'd have played that set of aces much more aggressively than he did.
