"My wife, Elisha, and I were sitting around the house and talking about the World Series and wondering how could we commemorate it being the 40th annual WSOP," Effel explained. It was Elisha, he says, who came up with the idea for the $40K buy-in event.
Effel then handed the mic to our announcer for today's event, and he is currently introducing the players -- just a few more minutes and the cards will be in the air.
They don't look too wild now, but wait 'til we get started.
Meanwhile, the bleachers here in the small arena located in the back right quadrant of the Amazon ballroom have already filled with spectators, with many more standing in what I suppose we're going to call the Jack Link's Beef Jerky lounge. (The area that was last year called the Milwaukee's Best Light No-Limit Lounge.)
There's a nervous excitement in the air as players, media, and fans ready for this hugely anticipated final table. Player announcements coming soon.
