2005 WSOP has begun! (Press Release)

[Talking Poker]

Hey guys...

I'm on the WSOP press list, so I get daily updates. I've gotten them for all the Circuit Events so far, but didn't think anyone was particulary interested (no one posted about any of them), so I never bothered posting them. Now that it's in Vegas though, is anyone interested in knowing what's going on? Should I post them for the preliminary events or hold off until the Main Event?

Here's today's email, describing the updates to come:

-----
The 2005 World Series of Poker has now begun! This will be the biggest event in poker history as all prize money and attendance records are expected to be smashed. The WSOP runs from today (2 June) through 15 July. As an e-mail recipient, you will be receiving all official reports and Day One chip counts/standings in a timely basis. Please note that in some cases, the size of the fields will necessitiate the events extended to three days. This means reports will be released at various times of the day, due simply to the 'unpredictable' nature of running a poker tournament of this size. The bottom line is -- you can expect to receive official results as quickly as possible from here in the Media Center at the Rio.

Thanks for your support of the World Series of Poker. We look forward to making this an event to remember.
