Sights and sounds from the WSOP
The 2021 #wsop is nearing its conclusion. People leaving, Pavilion Room being broke down. Bittersweet knowing it’s last time here at Rio.
Also I guess I’ll never solve the mystery of how this 7 of spades got stuck to the Pavilion ceiling 30’ off the ground. Been there 10 years. pic.twitter.com/FH5WKkLsFF

Everyone tells me to be proud. I’m truly NOT feeling it. Them, “Phil, you made 6 final tables in 6 different games in 2021 @WSOP. Who does that?” Me, “Where’s the beef? Only one bracelet so far!” Hmmm..come to think of it, I have more WSOP tourns ahead & maybe I should be proud… pic.twitter.com/q61SswDN6s
Poker players talking about WSOP memories and how sad they are that it's moving from Rio to Bally's and Paris.
Let's just say if they live streamed a Rio demolition, I'd clear my schedule and pay to watch… Maybe even throw a party.
