The closer we get - the greater the excitement. For any poker player there’s nothing quite like Vegas during the World Series, especially in the build up to the Main Event. There’s a palpable buzz about the place, the side games are juicy and, for us sunshine deprived Brits, there’s also the promise of scorching temperatures in the 100's.
But this year is a little different as we have some hugely exciting things going on that should make this a World Series to remember.
For a start, we have the poker party of the year taking place on 1 July at the Hugh Hefner Sky Villa at the Palms. The whisper is that the Hugh Hefner suite is the world’s most expensive hotel room, and is a regular celeb hangout. Having seen the photos we’re not surprised, as it really is the coolest party venue we’ve ever seen (highlights being the cantilevered pool and the rotating bed!). The PKR TV crew (Ash, Colin, Jabba and Danski) will all be there to catch the goings on, so if you can’t be there you needn’t miss out.
And for me, it’s our TV plans that are perhaps the most exciting thing about this year’s World Series. The guys will be out there from 30 June to 6 July to provide their own, unique take on the World Series. Forget dull, sanitised interviews and chip count updates, the PKR TV guys will be having fun and bringing you a sense of what it’s like to be slap bang in the middle of the greatest poker show on earth.
We’ll also be writing regular blogs from Vegas to offer our personal views and experiences off the big event, and Team PKR Pro will be contributing too. There’ll be a lot going on, we hope you enjoy it.
