Jennifer Harman Hails Her Namesake, Galfond Loves Being Sad and Kerstetter Can't Resist

When poker players can’t help but turn out for tournament after tournament no matter what the stakes, schedule or their own personal fatigue, you know the organisers are doing something right. On Day #13, we look at how players of all levels of fame are taking to the tournaments at the World Series of Poker.

NO DAYS OFF FOR TRUE GRINDERS

Jamie Kerstetter tried to take some time away from the action, but like Michael Corleone in The Godfather: Part 3 might say, they pulled her back in.

GALFOND SUMS IT UP

Phil Galfond took time out after he final tabled a WSOP Online Event to express how he feels about tournament poker. The Run It Once founder might find some sympathy here.

I’ve played one #WSOP event this summer. I have one cash and one final table, but I didn’t win it. I’m still sad about it and now I want to play more events, so that I can almost definitely be sad again. This is what tournament poker is all about.

GAGS DESIGNS A NEW SURVIVOR

Michael Gagliano has come up with a new poker format that, like the World Series of Poker itself, requires a little brain power to get through, but is worth it in the end.

It's been said before, but I think i've perfected it.

Poker Survivor:

At the end of each level the table votes off 1 person

Every player who is voted off their table loses 1/2 their chips

All those voted off are moved to new table with the others who have been voted off

HARMAN IS HER OWN BIGGEST FAN

Finally, Jennifer Harman is delighted that her unknown doppelganger is having a better World Series than she currently is at the tournament tables. Maybe this is the first example of a clone going on to become Player of the Year.

There is another Jennifer Harman playing @wsop. I keep getting text rooting for me in tournaments that I’m not even in. Whoever she is. Good luck to all Jen Harmans playing @wsop.

TEAM MATHS TAKE THE LEAD

The $25k Fantasy League leaderboard has experienced its biggest day yet, with a massive leap up the league from RTeam Maths. Ironically, their top scorer of Michael Noori meant that they leapfrogged Team Noori in the standings. Check out how Team Poker Central are faring, and whether Remko and Brent’s picks are still in the top three money places right here
