Hard to believe that it’s been five years<\/strong> since I applied for a job working as a live reporter at the World Series of Poker<\/strong>. I ran across the notice, I was working part-time at a friend’s second-run movie theater, selling tickets and popcorn and beer (Yes, it was Jeff \u201cPunk Rock\u201d Martin\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0Joy Cinema and Pub<\/strong><\/a> in Tigard! Give them your support!).<\/p>\n

The summer I worked there was a little different than the years before or since. WSOP had contracted out the live reporting operation to\u00a0PokerNews<\/strong> for several years, then they decided to move the operation in-house for 2016. I’d written over a dozen articles as a freelancer<\/strong><\/a> for PokerNews over the previous couple of years, and I’d followed the adventures of my editor there,\u00a0Martin Harris<\/strong><\/a>, who’d covered events in North and South America, Australia, and Europe, so even though the word went out from WSOP instead of PokerNews, I gave it a shot. They say they’re only looking for Vegas-based applicants this year, but if you’re a reader who’s down there, it might be worth checking out. Or maybe you can bluff them.<\/p>\n

Another biggest-ever cash goes to\u00a0Seattle\/Henderson’s\u00a0Adam Walton<\/strong>, taking down the 813-entry\u00a0Venetian #6 $40K GTD NLHE UltimateStack<\/strong><\/a>. Walton jumps over 120 spots on the Leaerboard, to #194.<\/p>\n
