One Week Until 2008 WSOP + We’re Off Memorial Day Weekend

Barring some crazy breaking story, Wicked Chops Poker will be off Memorial Day Weekend. With the 2008 World Series of Poker just a week away (meaning six straight weeks of unrelenting poker coverage), and 2/3 of the Entities in Ireland right now, and 1/3 of the Entities staggering drunk for three-days, let’s be honest, not much is going to get done.

But to get in the mindset for the 2008 WSOP, here’s some recommended reading from WCP coverage of WSOP’s past.
