More WSOP waffle. Oh no, no Nolan
Ever since the WSOP moved across to The Rio, & the Amazon Room became the hub of all things WSOP, there has been one constant.
Just inside the entrance to the Amazon Room, at the very end of the Rio Corridor, there is a sort of wooden dias. Sitting atop that dias, symbolically guarding the entrance to the WSOP was a black suited, grey bearded chap by the name of Nolan Dalla.
He was always there. Always. But now he is not there, having moved on. It's very sad.
His job with the WSOP was to write Content. It is such a rare treat to read beautifully written stuff, so very few people have that skill. Jen Mason is a supremely gifted writer, ditto Rich Prew, as is Mr Ambo. In fact Mr Ambo's writing is doubly impressive due to it's rarity value.
Mr Dalla was, arguably, the best, a truly beautifully descriptive writer. He came in for a little flak in 2016, but I'm not interested. I'm just in awe of him as a writer.
This man could write a knitting pattern & make it interesting.
He has written a blog for many years, & he added articles almost daily.
Here's a link to his blog. (Mods, don't worry, it is 100% non-commercial).

In fact, let me show you just how good a writer Nolan is.
Have you EVER read an interesting Restaurant Review? No, of course you have not. There is no such thing.
Well take a read of this beauty by Nolan Dalla, reviewing a Las Vegas restaurant many of you on Sky Poker are familiar with......

All you have to do is read the first sentence. After that, you'll be hooked. I promise.
There were no less than 6 (SIX) opening flights to the 2017 WSOP Colossus.
The final total of entries totted up to some 18,000, which is 16% down on last year.
Is that a sign of the times, should we be worried, or maybe, just like Sky Poker (allegedly) they did not "give it any thought"?
Well I have no idea. To me, though, the whole logic of multiple opening flights over 3 days (2 per day) is a bit much for a $565 MTT.
KISS works for me. Keep it simple, & it'll be just fine.
How do you know? Have you actually BEEN there?
