World Poker Series requires a "Spoiler Alert" now?

I'm not surprised. This game probably still growing in popularity.

Phil Ivey-pokers version of the Buffalo Bills

With the Main Event fields as large as they've become, I doubt Ivey will every win it. I don't even think a guy like the late Stu Ungar would have been able to navigate such a big field, strung out or otherwise.

Speaking of Stuey, I just finished reading a very solid tome entitled "One Of A Kind: The Rise And Fall of Stuey "The Kid" Ungar". A great read, even if you already know Ungar's background and legendary stories.

There are several big names in poker who did not survive their day 1 at the main event. With the fields being so large it is very hard to survive even if you are a very skilled player. There are a bunch of donks of whom some will suck out and take out a big player.

If you want to see some other big names that are out just scroll down.

(From memory)

Mike “The Mouth” Matasow(sp?)
Doyle Brunson
Jennifer Tilly
Liz Lieu
Greg Raymer
Eric Sidel
Jennifer Harman
Sammy Farha
Jacobs (cant remember his first name)

Oh well. The main event is now luck, no more skill involved.
