Las Vegasin kuhina, Rio-kasinon tarunhohtoiset valot, käytävillä vastaantulevat pokerilegendat ja chippien kaikkialta kuuluva vastaansanomaton kilinä. World Series of Pokerissa pelaaminen on jokaisen pokerinpelaajan unelma, mutta todellisuus Rio-kasinolla ei kaikilta osin vastaa mielikuvia. Kokeneet Vegasin-kävijät ovat jo tottuneita esimerkiksi jäätävän ilmastoinnin aiheuttamiin flunssiin, ylihintaisiin turnausruokailuihin, rekisteröitymisjonoihin, Vegasin paahtavaan helteeseen, vähemmän taitaviin jakajiin ja muihin lieveilmiöihin.
Pitkän linjan high stakes mixed games -ammattilainen Melissa Burr on naurattanut tänä kesänä pokerikansaa päivittäisillä #wouldbeWSOP-twiiteillään, joissa Burr kertoo varsin tarkkanäköisesti, mihin WSOP:n vähemmän miellyttäviin lieveilmiöihin tämä kunakin päivänä törmäisi, mikäli WSOP olisi päästy pelaamaan normaalisti Las Vegasissa.
Today would have been the 5th day of the WSOP.
COLOSSUS
Id get KK in vs AK. Ace in the window.
Sigh "ON TO THE NEXT ONE"
Later on twitter and Id see the chip leader misspell "colossus"
How the fuck does this idiot have millions in earnings?
Poker is so unfair#wouldbeWSOP

Today would be the 22nd day of the WSOP.
Walking thru the Amazon section, I would see an event that hasnt started yet, but all the players and dealers are seated and ready.
I've never seen so many people on time for an event.
Must be the seniors.
