Not too much has been going on in the world series of poker lately. I really haven't seen Chris Ferguson much lately. He probably has won so much money in his career he doesn't need to play as much as used to. A couple of months ago a 22 year old came in first place in the WSOP. He is the youngest player to every win. Things in the U.S. poker championship have been pretty slow.
Of course we all know that Poker is the fastest growing spectator sport in the world right now. But the sport of billiards on ESPN has really gotten up there lately. The best thing about these great sports is that unlike football, baseball, or basketball, just about anybody can pursue a career in these sports. We all know that getting drafted in the NFL is almost impossible. But if you just have a little money and a little time you can get into these sports.
Of course we all know that the entry fee to the U.S. poker championship and the WPT is 10,000 dollars but for the WSOP it's anywhere from 1,000 to 5,000 dollars depending on what version of a tournament you to play.
