Jeff Pollack, Commissioner of the WSOP, has resigned his position as of yesterday Friday November 13th, 2009. This came as a bit of a surprise but Harrah’s seemed very appreciative of his efforts.

We also can’t forget that Europe now has the WSOPE as well and Pollack had a lot to do wit... Read Full Story

After a marathon session last night Darvin Moon and Joe Cada emerged as the two that will battle it out for the $8.5 million dollar first prize and the title of 2009 WSOP Main Event bracelet winner.

Phil Ivey busted out of the 2009 main event final table in seventh place this evening. Ivey got his money in good holding Ace King versus Darvin Moons Ace Queen. Moon hit a queen on the flop and there was no help on the turn or river for Phil Ivey. The championship bracelet run is over.

Ivey busted out 7th at WSOP final ta... Read Full Story
