With 53 of 55 poker precincts reporting …
Unless something really funky happens in the main event, it looks like Nevada has the edge on California when it comes to home base for the best poker players in the world. Both states have the same number of final tables (76), interestingly enough, so the question becomes, are 316 cashes worth four bracelets? Seriously, which would you prefer?
New York has four bracelets, after all, and yet in the last couple tourneys, they were surpassed by Texas (zero bracelets) in overall money won.
Germany and Denmark have a similar debate at hand when it comes to who\’s the best in Europe — even though they haven\’t won as much money as the Brits, who have yet to win a bracelet.
New countries booking their first ITM (in the money) finishes:
Slovenia
Cyprus
Panama
49 1/2 countries overall have scored something this WSOP. (Official number depends on how you view the Faroe Islands/Puerto Rico.)
