Gotta think the twitters are gonna be an important part of following the main event … from Days 1×4 all the way to the November Nine. We can presume, of course, you\’re already following the essentials for play-by-play and more — @kevmath @pokerati @wickedchops @taopauly @bjnemeth @wsop @wsoptd @jesswelman (also doing @bluffmagazine) @espn_poker @matthewparvis @change100 @benjodimeo and @pokernews …
But a few others that you may wanna be sure to add for the main event and beyond include:
@Tom_Dwan — the real durrrr is now tweeting, and turns out he\’s pretty good at keepin\’ it real in 140 characters or less.
@JeffreyPollack — the former WSOP commish has resurfaced on the internet with warm wishes. Good to see him around WSOP parts again, albeit slightly removed.
@RioVegas — if the suits @Harrahs have done one thing right, it\’s hire a good social media dude for The Rio who has proven surprisingly responsive and capable of putting smart tweeters in touch with the right people when necessary.
@TheRealAsianSpa — not sure if this is an alterego to the most vitriolic (but informed) poker hater on twitter or what … but either way, apparently @AsianSpa has taken the ways of @SamChauhan\’s @PositiveReport to heart and can\’t help but look at everything #WSOP as benefitting from a happy ending.
@GamingCounsel — was hoping others might not notice the Canadian attorney who\’s proven a great source on the latest legal developments in the gambling world … but now my competitive colleagues all follow him, so if you care about poker laws, you should, too.
@TheGroupie — she\’s just a poker fangirl who\’s not in Vegas, but met this 20something poker-playing figure-skater PhD @riovegas just the other week, and for some reason couldn\’t stop staring at her tweets.
@OskarGarcia — the AP\’s Vegas-based reporter covering gaming is putting in some extra time at the WSOP.
@PUNTE — Josh Zerkle is a professional sports and social media-y kinda guy @WithLeather, and is keeping his WSOP micro-thoughts and observations here.
There … all those should do you extra-well. Feel free to leave any others @\’s you think Pokeratizens and assorted poker fans might not wanna be missing this July in the comments.
