The World Series of Poker

You've probably seen bits of it on ESPN in the past. What you probably didn't know is that when ESPN shows it it's actually months atfer it really happens. It's going on right now.

There are over 30 different tournaments that make up the World Series, and there are a lot of great stories this year. Johnny Chan and Doyle Brunson, living legends in poker, have each won their 10th WSOP Championship bracelets.

Also, Jennifer Tilly won a Ladies event and Mr. Kotter came in second in one event. Now if we could get Ben Affleck and Phil Helmuth heads up at a final table.

Here are some links if you're interested.
