The World Series of Poker 2007 - And they're off.

Days 1 and 2 were actually played over 6 days and today the 3rd day began. Thanks to the US Government enacting the law prohibiting banks and other financial institutions from transferring money to and from online gambling sites, the number of entries dropped to less than 6400 - it was over 8000 in 2006. The gambling sites had less satellites to win a seat and Harrah's refused to accept entry fees from online sites. The site that did provide opportunities to win a seat were forced to mail checks directly to the winners. And many just "took the money and ran" - never heading to Vegas to try their hand at winning the grand prize which is $8.25 million. In all honesty I would have done the same. $10K in the hand is a good day at poker...
