MAIN EVENT RECAP: VIDEO INTERVIEWS
(Photo by Eddie Malluk) During the World Series of Poker Main Event, a player's status can change by the hour.  In the span of a day, a level, or even a hand, fortunes are won and lost.  The turn of a single card determines who is chip leader and who is on the rail left looking forward to next year.  Rather than wait until ESPN broadcasts the Main Event starting August 14th, why not find out what is going on right now? Ali Nejad of ESPN.com is on the sidelines for all of the action as it develops with four daily reports from the field.  Keep checking back here periodically throughout the day for the latest news and stories from the floor, as captured by the ESPN cameras

If you've ever watched the World Series of Poker and thought that could be me, you're not alone. Since 1970, the WSOP has been the place where that dream lives. Most people know the summer series in Las Vegas, where the $10,000 Main Event turns ordinary players into legends. But the WSOP calendar has grown well beyond that. WSOP Europe and WSOP Paradise now bring bracelet competition to international destinations, and dozens of Circuit events run year-round for players who want serious competition closer to home. Whether you're grinding a Circuit stop or taking your shot at the Main Event, the hardware means something. Winning a gold bracelet or Circuit ring is more than just a trophy. It's a permanent record that you are a champion. For players in Nevada, New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, WSOP Online has become something worth paying attention to. It's the only platform in the US where you can win a poker tournament for official WSOP gold bracelets without leaving home! The WSOP also offers deposit limits and self-exclusion tools because the best poker rooms have always known that keeping poker players healthy keeps the game healthy. From your first Circuit event to a final table in Las Vegas, WSOP is still where you go to prove something.
