This is great! I have been looking forward to the 2017 WSOP main event. The 2016 WSOP main event champion Qui Nguyen was among the 795 players that started their journey last Saturday. I love his Bentley outfit! Can he make back to back final table?

Today begins the day 2AB and my personal friend Richard Dubini begins as the chip leader of this spectacular event in search of that long-awaited bracelet. I will be following the development of the same through the different portals of information.

Thain Main Event of the WSOP are running and it was interesting to see, which player can reach the final table this year. Perhaps we see a no name player as winner this time against a lot of poker pro´s. It must be a dream to win the bracelet of this final Event from the WSOP.
