So we have news from day 1C and we can see that he have over 7000 players in tournament (largest number in history of wsop) and that first prize will over 8 million $!for next year we will probably have 8000 players!this main event is something special for every poker player!good luck to all players!

I'm following my personal friend Richard Dubini who starts as the chip leader of this spectacular event in search of that long-awaited bracelet. I will follow the development of the same through the different portals of information, preferably friends of Latin America.-
