Tournament Tidbits Since the action is pretty slow and measured right now, here's what's going on in the rest of the room: Jamin Stokes is the only player out of the remaining four who is not sporting sunglasses at this table. For what it's worth, Leo Wolpart's sunglasses are down low around his nose, and Stokes can clearly see his eyes over the frame. Also setting himself apart from the crowd, Nathan Doudney is the only player not wearing a hat. The spectator's section is starting to fill in just a bit, as it was completely empty to start the match. Among those who've shown up to sweat this round are Vivek Rajkumar, Action Jeff Garza, Steve O'Dwyer (who was eliminated in the last round), Daniel Alaei, Carlos Mortensen, Erick Lindgren, and Gavin Smith (who is unusually quiet so far). In other news, there is a man with a truly legendary mullet standing in the lounge overlooking the table. It looks as if he worked as hard on his hairdo as these four players have worked on their heads-up game. Also, Tournament Director Steve Frezer really seems to be enjoying his bag of Jack Link's beef jerky as he watches the two matches on the desk monitor.

And now Break it Down After a level of relative inactivity, the clock has been paused for a 10-minute break. If anything, this last level saw both of the shorter stacks chip up by 200,000-300,000. Full counts on the way.

Über World Series of Poker (WSOP):

Die World Series of Poker, oder kurz WSOP, ist eine Reihe von Pokerturnieren, die jedes Jahr in Las Vegas ausgetragen werden.

Die World Series of Poker finden jährlich im Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas statt.

Die World Series of Poker ist die grösste und prestigeträchtigste Pokerveranstaltung der Welt. Mit einer umfassenden Liste von Turnieren in allen wichtigen Pokervarianten ist die WSOP das am längsten laufende Pokerturnier der Welt und geht auf das Jahr 1970 zurück.

Darüber hinaus hat die WSOP bahnbrechende Allianzen in den Bereichen Rundfunk, digitale Medien und Unternehmenssponsoring gebildet und die Marke mit der Einführung der WSOP Europe im Jahr 2007 und der WSOP Asia-Pacific im Jahr 2013 sowie der WSOP International Circuit Series im Jahr 2015 erfolgreich international ausgebaut.

Ursprünglich wurden die Tourniere in Las Vegas Downtown im Binion's Horseshoe Casino ausgetragen. Im Jahre 2005 kaufte Caesars den Brand WSOP. Seit diesem Datum werden die Pokermeisterschaften im Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino durchgeführt.
