WSOP day 1 review: Team Polk lead the $10k Tag Team event

Day 1 of the World Series of Poker sees the lowest Casino Employee turnout since 2004, and Doug Polk looks to win back-to-back Tag Team events after leading Team Polk to the summit of Day 1.

It’s that time of year again.

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is back for the 48th time of asking, and I am 5,117 miles away suffering from a severe case of FOMO.

For poker players, the WSOP is like Woodstock for hippies, an aphrodisiac of the highest order. Poker tables lift off the ground because of the sheer excitement. And so it is our duty to bring you as many updates as we can beginning with Event #1: $565 Casino Employees No-Limit Hold’em.
