This has got to be the luckiest year of David Singer and Eric Lindgren who both won their first Word Series of Poker bracelets in the morning of June 5.

Considered to be two of the best Poker players of this generation, Singer and Lindgren had bagged the most wanted bracelet in the Poker industry.

Victory sided with Singer when he participated in the $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha event.

Reports said that Singer was not expecting this win because he was already discouraged , earlier in the match, upon reaching the final table.

Singer had the second lowest chip stack of 83,000 when he got into the final table but proved victorious after he played carefully, sticked to his game plan, and chose the correct spots where he could play.

Lindgren reportedly won the toughest final table in the history of World Series of Poker. He is a victor of $5,000 Mixed holdem Limit/No Limit event and beat other known poker players like Howard Lederer, David Williams, Justin Bonomo, and Rolande de Wolfe.

According to reports, Lindgren’s had won because of his game plan which was to play tight in the no limit and play loose in limit part of the event.

Lindgren, just like Singer, had to struggle from a low chip count earlier in the match; Lindgren reportedly said that he had already entered another tournament because he thought that winning in this tournament was next to impossible.

Good thing these poker players did not give up, because if they did give up, they would not have the most coveted bracelet everyone is dying to have.

Lindgren is a team member of Full Tilt and is an American professional poker player who has several victories behind him; his first major victory was at Bellagio in year 2002.

Singer, on the other hand, is a poker professional from New York; he used to be an environmental lawyer of a non profit organization working on issues concerning the Long Island Sound.

He earned $1,000,000 last year when he played in the Caesars Palace Classic $9,800 No Limit Hold’em Championship Event.

The Amazon Room
opens its doors again
today with the start of
the 2008 World Series of
Poker and will remain
that way for the next six
weeks, fifty-five events
are scheduled with
thousands of players
expected to battle it out
for millions of dollars.

Typically reserved for extraordinarily large conventions, the Amazon Room of the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas is said to be the size of a football field with a space for more than 200 Poker tables that run tournaments, cash games, and satellite events around the clock.

An elaborate stage is also reportedly prepared for all the televised final tables complete with a full ESPN crew and seating for spectators.

“Never in a million years would I have thought Poker would ever come to this,” Poker legend Doyle Brunson said.

So many changes are scheduled to happen to this year’s World Series, reports said.

The highlights of the event will start from July 3 to 14, however, the final nine players that will make the final table will have to wait until Nov. 9 so the ESPN cameras can catch the action and have a live broadcast.

According to reports there is also an overwhelming increase in the number of large buy-in tournaments.

During the past years, the World Series flooded with lower $1,500 buy-in tournaments that made the events accessible to a larger percentage of Poker players, but were criticized for their repetitiveness.

The $10,000 buy-in for the Main Event was the largest found in Poker but now the 2008 World Series has now made it possible to schedule eight $10,000 buy-in in various games and formats with the first tournament, the World Championship of Pot Limit holdem, scheduled to begin Friday.

If playing an event is not in your plans, there are still two ways to follow all the tournament action.

You can be updated by Online Poker web sites such as cardplayer.com, worldseriesofpoker.com and bluffmagazine.com when it comes to chip counts, cashes and spotlight hand updates.

Better if you happen to be in Vegas since you can just walk over to the Rio and check out the tournaments free of charge.

Throughout the World Series, you can pick any random day and chances are you will bump into dozens of the famous faces seen on television that will be more than willing to sign an autograph — provided they do not desperately need to take their scheduled bathroom break.

June 25 is the start day for the World Series’ richest event-the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E tournament, which informally crowns best “all-around” player- where there’s a Poker legend at every table, and some tables may have a millionaire sitting in every seat.

The championship chase is one of the most interesting angle in writing a news story.

In 2007 after winning his 11th, Phil Hellmuth scored a higher record than Brunson and Johnny Chan.

Another angle which people should follow is size of the field for the Main Event.

After setting a record in 2006 with 8,773 players, the field thinned down nearly 2,500 players to 6,358 in 2007; this devaluation in field was a result of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, which handcuffed the Online Poker sites from buying players into the tournament via satellites.

Full Tilt’s David Singer, who has been
playing poker for a living since 1996,
won the most challenging poker game
ever assembled and collected $560K for
winning the prestigious title.

Singer captures $25,000 heads-up
championship on Full Tilt and claimed
his sweet victory after he took down
Emil “whitelime” Patel to win the
$560,000 first-place prize.

Before becoming the famous and
wealthy Poker player he is now, Singer
had a brief career working as an
environmental lawyer– yes he was a
lawyer– who specialized in cleaning up
Long Island Sound for a non-profit organization.

Although Singer used to be a lawyer, he was earning less than the secretaries he worked with. He studied to become a lawyer purely so that he could work on environmental issues and his main focus when he gained employment was with water issues, especially concerning the Long Island Sound.

When his hours at work began to be cut back he looked for another job and that is when he came across the reality of playing apoker game.

Remembering his youthful days, playing poker had been a big part of Singer’s life as he played with friends and family from a school age. Aside from playing poker Singer worked on sport-fishing and commercial boats and amazingly, at one time, he even managed to hold two fishing world records which shows that even during his younger days, he was already a record setter who continues to bring in more success up to the present day.

For the first five years venturing into the poker community, Singer focused on his favorite cash game7 card stud exclusively, studying and honing his poker skills at Foxwoods and at a private club in New York.

What really attracted Singer to play poker even more seriously in the last few years, was the big prize pools for No-Limit tournaments.

He knew poker is really for him when he finished ninth at the World Series of Poker Main Event in 2003, and has had numerous large cashes and high finishes since then.

In 2006, this Brooklyn born guy won $435,000 as a third-place finisher at the Word Poker Tournament Caribbean Adventure. After which, he then went on to win the Mirage Heads-Up Poker Showdown for $232,000, and took the sixth place in the $50K HORSE event at the 2006 World Series Online Poker Tourney, where he won another $411,000.

Yes, i know what you are thinking. Money will never be an issue to this guy especially when you found out that he collected $1 million, his biggest ever payday, for winning the Caesars Palace Classic in Las Vegas, added to the $337K for another sixth-place finish when he returned to the $50K HORSE final table in 2007. His career tournament winnings is reportedly in excess of $3.83 million. Whew.
