World Series Of Poker At The Rio

Where: 3700 West Flamingo Road [map], Las Vegas, nv, United States, 89103

We have done very little on the World Series of Poker, but we would be remiss if we did not let you know it is going on at the Rio in Las Vegas from July 7-16.

If you want real coverage of the event, we suggest you visit our friends at CardSquad and Oddjack. Those guys are blogging the entire event, and even throwing in a podcast or two.

Biggest news thus far? C-list celebrity and Met wife Ana Benson got booted from the Rio based tourney for excessive f-bombs.

After serving a 10-minute penalty for dropping the "f-bomb," a violation of tournament rules, Benson returned and asked her dealer, "Does that mean I can't say any other word? I can say c - - t, p - - - y and c - - k, but I can't say f - - k?" Benson -- whose $10,000 entrance fee was sponsored by pokerblue.com -- was immediately booted from the game.

Of course, the fact that we find this story the biggest news thus far proves we know nothing about poker.
