PN Blog: My Journey to 29th Place in the WSOP Main Event

Related Topics: World Series of Poker

Winning the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event is a dream for every poker player in the world. This is the story of my journey as I gave it my best shot.

Preparation

Who knows how many chances one will get to play in the Main Event? Family, kids, mortgages, work, and money all get in the way. I had played three times before and busted out on Day 1, Day 3, and Day 2, respectively. Is this just another waste of $10,000 and five vacation days? Do I have enough confidence in my poker game to put up $10,000 of my hard-earned money on a card game where I will be undoubtedly competing with people who do this for a living?
