WSOP WRITERS TRIFECTA
LAS VEGAS (2016)
The World Series of Poker Main Event starts this week. It’s been seven years since I attended, or even set foot inside the building. Nonetheless, living here in Las Vegas and seeing so many of my friends who are looking forward to playing in poker’s world championship, I can’t help but share their anticipation and excitement.
