This Rail has Gone to the Dogs

New School, Old School

The $50,000 Poker Players Championship is such a unique and prestigious event, as it pits old and new school poker pros against one other in a wide rotation of games.

The Good Kind of Rebuilding

What is Missing?

At first glance, this might look like an ordinary shot of a table before the flop. But look closer, something is missing. It's the blinds as this shot was captured at today's $1,500 Ante Only No-Limit event. The first-ever event of its kind at the WSOP has players ante every hand, but post no blinds. Instead, the player to the left of the button starts off the action by either bringing in or folding.

Holding on for Dear Life

Luke Schwartz holds on to tablemate Viktor Blom while Schwartz was all-in on Day 4 of the $50,000 as he awaits his fate in a Pot Limit Omaha all-in. Schwartz prevailed to double up to over a million and, despite the choke hold from his friend, Blom is surviving as well as the money bubble approaches.

Italian Stallion

Since then, Jeff Lisandro has won five bracelets for the country, Max Pescatori won two, Dario Alioto picked one up at the inaugural WSOP Europe in 2007, and Dario Minieri last won gold for Italy in 2008.
