Let's hug it out, bitch

After 12 days of play, the WSOP main event is now over. Wait until next year.

If you want to read about the new winner, click here. I wish I could link to a site other than ESPN, but at the moment I can't. I'll fix it later with something better.

12 days, $12 million. Nice work if you can get it.

This is the fifth year in a row that an "amateur" has won. This year's field was 8773. It's possible next year would have over 10,000 entrants. Hopefully Harrah's can figure out a way to have the tournament proceed quicker and not take two weeks for the Main Event, let alone seven weeks for the entire tourney.

Better luck next year.
