World Series of Poker
A friend of mine placed in the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas so I showed up to watch it all go down. The event was held at the Rio Hotel and was packed with some high-profile poker players. Sadly, I didn't recognize any of them at the time or I probably would have been able to appreciate it more. At the time, I only got interested because my friend was playing. Now I know that at the very least, I saw Humberto Brenes.
When I walked in the room where the World Series was taking place, it was eerily quiet and all you could hear was the nervous shifting around of chips. It was pretty interesting to watch as some people emerged victorious and others left upset and empty-handed. I think the initial buy in for the WSOP was $10,000. Oh... and my friend didn't win but he went out, guns blazin' aka ALL IN!

Yeah i agree, that's poker :)
Ill bet that the experience of playing in such event must be amazing, with so many pros and celebrities around the tables.
I am a huge fan of poker but did not have the chance to participate to one of the World Series of Poker. One day maybe ;)
C'est un de mes rêves d'y participer! J'espère un jour!
