The WSOP November Nine

The November Nine have been chosen and the Rio is now slightly emptier, but there's still information coming in from the World Series of Poker. Bodog Poker sent nearly fifty participants to this year's World Series of Poker Main Event and while none of them are seated at the final table in a couple of months, their stories are still the stuff of legend. Headed by Bodog Poker pros Amanda Musumeci and Evelyn Ng, the team included players that had made their way up through the ranks in Bodog's intense Series 2010 satellite tournaments and finals, players had to prove their mettle in online poker, but would they be able to bring the magic to the tables?

The answer was a unquestionable yes, with seven participants in the squad ending up in the money, including one remarkable player who turned a single buck in a satellite tournament into over $27,000 in Vegas. Dennis Scott, a factory supervisor from Midland, MI had never even pondered going to Vegas for the show of shows before, but an offhand decision to spend $1 on a satellite tournament netted him a 27,000% profit. “It’s actually the first time I’ve ever even tried to play in it,” he said after receiving his winnings. “Actually, it’s my only tournament cash not online. I’ve played in one other tournament at a casino, but it was nothing like the WSOP.”
