If you haven\’t taken a look already, one of our fun new toys we\’re playing with at the 2008 WSOP is a high-technology, nuclear-powered database of all money-finishers broken down by state and/or country. Check it out! We\’ll be updating it near-daily.
But full disclosure — while the numbers of bracelets, final tableists, and in the money finishes are guaranteed at least as accurate as the info provided to us by Harrah\’s (I pick up on a few mistakes here and there and throw in some corrections) our numbers showing total money awarded come with a margin of error of 0.3 percent. Sorry about that … we\’re new here.
And after one day of making our intense number crunches public, at least one asshole concerned reader has approached me to suggest that ranking nation-states by GNP may not be a fair assessment of who\’s really winning the good fight. Suggested we have more of an Olympic medal count kinda thing where bracelets are like golds, final tables like silvers, and ITM\’s as respectable bronzes.
Well guess what … we can do both! So if you did take a look yesterday, take a look again today (and tomorrow, and the next day …) to keep track of where arguably the best poker players in the WSOP hail from.
ALT HED: Texas is Better than Delaware!
