OK, we are going to run a little contest here. We will "draft" poker players and whoever picks the winner of the Main Event will win a prize (a token prize, like a T-shirt or a deck of cards). All you have to do to enter is to leave a comment to this post before the Main Event starts with the names of 3 poker players. You may also leave a suggestion for the prize. If nobody correctly picks the winner, then the person whose player placed the highest wins, as long as their player made the top 20 (this is like the 8-qualifying rule in O/8!).
To leave a comment, you must register at Blogger, but that doesnt take much more than filling out a quick form and giving a working email address.
1 - T.J. Cloutier 2 - Dan Harrington 3 - Phil Helmuth Jr.
With Doyle and Chan putting bracelet no.10 away, you know Phil is hungry for his. Do I get to make a suggestion for the prize? Hows about 1 deck of WSOP cards? No? Ok then.
FYI, it seems that registering with Blogger (according to my friend) requires filling out some fields such as Blog Title and Blog name and stuff (basically, you are registering to to start your own blog)
Don't sweat it, just make something up. It's free!
And then you can join the fantasy poker contest as well as post comments on other posts!
My original thought was that nobody could pick a person that was already picked, but I guess I didn't communicate that. So, instead, I will just encourage you to not pick somebody that is already picked because if so (and that person wins the WSOP), you will end up sharing the prize.
