Did Vanessa Selbst play the main? Had a prop bet on her being top female, but can't see any updates featuring her.

Wish I was there to cover the event, get stories. Unfortunately the only gig I could find of the whole series that paid a dime involves writing set pieces with no color about a tournament in Florida. Because the "real' poker journalists are busy covering ME. Welcome Holiday Inn. Ah well, breakfast included.

Poker writing career nearing an end. It was fun... time to crank out A Very Dark Game and get back to life on an undisclosed tropical beach.

She's definitely not listed in the chip counts and she didn't tweet about bagging chips, so she either didn't play or she already busted...

Any back story on why DMoon is wearing a Miss Congeniality-style prom dress? Perhaps a prop bet?

At first read I assumed DMoon was Darvin Moon

Hard to imagine Darvin Moon wearing a prom dress. Maybe he taken a lead from the former Bruce Jennner

is pokernews not covering hands anymore?

checking the "live updates" on their page, can only see them announcing when each day starts, what am I missing here?

Pokernews didn't get the coverage this year, WSOP brought it 'in house' and all hand updates can only be found (legally) on wsop.com

I'm sure a decent amount of the people doing the wsop.com were some of the freelancers that worked at pokernews in past summers. But the WSOP is probably trying to cut costs, so not only are they not paying the pokernews premium, they likely cut head count as well. So it isn't the people doing the updates faults, it is the WSOP for being cheap.

IMO of course as I have no insider knowledge.

I love him too..but I think his head would actually explode if he did win again.

not only is it WSOP being cheap, but they probably have orders from high (Harrahs) to be the ones cutting costs across the board

i wouldnt be surprised if long after the fact we hear the horror stories of the crap jack effel had to deal with and we'll laud him for running something halfway decent given the circumstances, but at the end of the day everyone loses.

sucks because for a brief moment we had that sweat of pokerstars buying the WSOP, how things would have been different!
