Epic Adventures: Check the Scoreboard, Part 2
If you want to find the world’s best poker players, follow the money. Last week, we profiled the top five earners among European Epic Poker League members from 2011. This week we will focus on Epic’s top North American earners. You already know which name takes the top slot this year, but there were plenty of other notables who brought in big bucks over the course of 2011. Of the 62 players who earned over $1,000,000 this year, over 40% of them were members of the Epic Poker League. The five players profiled below had great years, but what makes their 2011 tournament earnings all the more impressive is that none of these numbers are all that surprising; we expect these kinds of performances from these players.

Now, ESPN dispensed with the highlight-style coverage completely and showed every hand, with hole cards revealed at the end of the hand, on a fifteen-minute delay.
Watching the 2011 WSOP November Nine, Part I
“How cool is it to be able to watch a live feed … of the final table?” So asked Linda Johnson during her Poker Hall of Fame induction speech on Tuesday afternoon, just a short while before the restart of the last day of play for the 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event final table. Johnson asked the question amid other observations about how poker has grown and changed over the last three-plus decades since she first got into the game.
Winners & Losers: WSOP Europe, GPI Changes, and More Black Friday Fallout
Poker’s focus is on Cannes, with the World Series of Poker Europe Main Event contested, and the Caesars Cup upcoming. With the European edition of the WSOP came a change of venue, the addition of Player of the Year, and a fresh attitude as the brand extends its reach to France.
