The World Series of Poker is in the can for another year. Sending the WSOP on its way, poker players have been celebrating its crazy final table rails, going all misty-eyed for the past two months…and handing out showers. It’s to get under the water and wash that Rio grime away.

OFF THE RAILS IS FINE

Some love them, some don’t. This poker fan is clearly a supporter of the raucous rails that punctuated the Main Event coverage.

HOLDING STACKS

David Williams misses the days when players would have heaps of chips to push into the middle. Maybe he’s just going all sentimental about his runner-up finish.

NAME THAT CHILD

Natasha and Jason Mercier not only celebrated having a large percentage of Garry Gates’ action this Main Event final table, but they very nearly had to call their second child Dario Mercier.

STAYING AHEAD OF THE GAME

Layne Flack is all for self-improvement, and it’s to his credit. If everyone had his attitude, the WSOP might be unbeatable!

TIME FOR SHOWERS

Showers for one, showers for all, showers for the fold, showers for the call. It’s time to get under the damn tap one more time, poker players. Turn it up hot!
