The 2009 WSOP Main Event

I arrived in Las Vegas yesterday and spent several hours walking around among the tables, looking for interesting action and/or faces I recognize. I saw more than a few people, including Tom Durr, Vanessa Rousso and Kathy Liebert. There are so many tables that it is almost impossible to stay on top of the action at all the tables – there are multiple rooms. I’ll be writing more as the tournament progresses.
