Rio

As we know, the World Series of Poker has begun since May 31! They include the opportunity to participate in a series of prestigious tournaments, but also, they are a kind of "feast" for poker players.

The world series of poker attract people from everywhere around the world, of the best players of cash games in the world, to the rich Texan a little drunk from gambler a few (hundreds of) thousands of dollars, for the sake of the thing. For this reason, it is also a feast for players of cash games high stakes who find themselves on the Rio these days, a concentration high enough for rich players inexperienced.

Another interesting fact, parts of Pot Limit Omaha are more and more popular in recent years, to the delight of some, including Ashton Griffin (better known under the pseudonym "theASHMAN103") who joined this week at a party at the Rio. On the tables of $ 1000 / $ 2000 and $ 2000 / $ 4000 it was able to raise 1 million dollars in a single day with a pot of $ 550,000.

His 2nd most big pot to life won with 5-6-7-8 on 2-3-4. On the flop, Griffin has been check - raiser by an unknown player and he would have decided to go all-in. His opponent called with A-2-3-x and it was in a bad position. The unknown needed a 2 or a 3 to complete its full, but fortunately for Griffin, the turn and river fell "brick-brick".

Not too bad as a working day. Among the other players at the table; Kido Pham, Tom Dwan, Randy Dorfman, David Benefield, Andrew Robl and one that is dubbed "the stranger who does not sleep". And according to some information, it would be a Texan who is on the tables for 3 days without too much breaks.

According to other rumors, Tom "durrrr" Dwan would have experienced very bad days since the early days of the WSOP and he would have lost already lot of money. Those who know a little Dwan career know how he used to "swingner"! Surely a bad pass that will be soon a bad memory as "durrrr" has always found the sleeves and has always managed to come back strong after bad sessions. To date, Dwan is the player who lost the most money when the cash games of the Rio for the 2011 WSOP.
