WSOP is Completed

Posted by Curtis Mayfield III on Tuesday, November 10, 2009 - 14:48

Now that the WSOP main event is over I am completely burned out. As much as I enjoy watching the events the main event just wears me out due to the length of time it takes to get it over with. I don't think we need to re-hash my thoughts on that topic but I do believe they can make even more improvements to make the WSOP main event run smoother next year. As it stands Joe Cada is now the youngest winner of the main event now.

In my previous post I said he would be the likely winner. Now that he has delivered on my prediction I wish Joe Cada well and hope that he carries the responsibilities bestowed upon him as the quasi-ambassador of the game well. He seems like a nice enough guy and his conduct never got out of line from what I could see. Only time will tell how seriously or not he takes his role of promoting the game.
