At the World Series of Poker , the $10,000 buy-in championship events are still considered a pro’s pro event with a little more prestige attached to these 10Ks versus the fetish events or branded events. Limit Hold’em is a dying breed and there’s something to be said about the old-school form of poker that many of use played when we first started out on our poker journey.

Also among the final eight were Terrence Chan, John Racener, John Monnette , Eric Kurtzman, Jason Somerville, Scott Tuttle, and Chris Chung. A couple of pros were seeking their second bling, while a couple were still waiting to break through to the winner’s circle for the first […]
