High-Low Split: Dueling Perspectives on 40 Days at the WSOP - Part VII:"The Pen is Mightier Than the Boom Mic"

JOE: The inaugural issue of Card Player College had Joseph Hachem on the cover. I thought it should have been a photo of some sickly hot college co-ed, but for some reason our devilishly handsome editor, Rich Belsky, felt as if it should instead be the winner of the 2005 World Series of...

High-Low Split: Dueling Perspectives on 40 Days at the WSOP - Part VI: "The Gold Coast"

JOE: If you can remember a few columns back, you'll recall that I mentioned that I was too chickenshit to sit down at any of the tables at The Rio. For a quick recap, the reason for that was that I saw the following happen to Scott on more than one occasion: Guy sits down next to him, at a...

JOE: The first real World Series of Poker event I covered was event No. 4, the $1,500 pot-limit hold'em event. I was scheduled to work the "night shift" that night, from 3 p.m. until the end of the tournament. The shifts followed a bit of a luck-of-the-draw kind of format. Sometimes...

High-Low Split: Dueling Perspectives on 40 Days at the WSOP - Part II: The Job

One of my best friends described my first experience in stand-up comedy as "like childbirth - both beautiful and disgusting at the same time." It's in this same regard that I hold my experiences at the World Series of Poker. It was 40 days of labor, during which it was nearly...
