Inside the Tour

  • Inside the Tour, Vol. 101: More from New Zealand

    Monday, October 20, 2008, Dennis Waterman
    "Put Charles Darwin, Claude Monet and J.R.R. Tolkein in a room with six bottles of vodka and a party pack of recreational drugs and, combined, they could not come close to the concept of New Zealand. If nature had a design studio, full of h...more

  • Inside the Tour, Vol. 100: Reflections from Auckland

    Friday, October 10, 2008, Dennis Waterman
    I got here in time to play day one of an $1,100 event that would otherwise be called the New Zealand championship — but that is likely the name of a tournament held in Christchurch in a much smaller venue. I visited the SkyCity Casino her...more

  • Inside the Tour, Vol. 99: Macau Redux

    Wednesday, September 10, 2008, Dennis Waterman
    Macau seems just like the bustling underseam of any American city. The scramble for placement, real estate, and building is high, with each trying to upscale and out-scale the last. The Venetian was mostly built here and is the third larges...more

  • Inside the Tour, Vol. 98: Behold Macau

    Wednesday, September 3, 2008, Dennis Waterman
    China. Well, Macau anyways, an island or three off the coast of China once a Portugese colony (from the 16th century until 1999) and now owned by China, although operating under a 50-year lease with some independence. Visualize a Las Vegas ...more

  • Inside the Poker Tour, Vol. 97: Phillip Hilm, Part One

    Wednesday, August 27, 2008, Dennis Waterman
    Nearly two years ago at the Copenhagen European Poker Tour event I played at a table where a young man was the media favorite of passers-by. He was filmed and asked questions in several languages, always answering politely. I found his styl...more

  • Inside the Tour, Vol 96, Punta del Este 2008

    Sunday, August 17, 2008, Dennis Waterman
    The landscape is beautiful, the site a delightful choice; if only I spoke Spanish I would be in heaven! Well, I likely wouldn't lose with kings to queens on the river and be writing this story if I was in heaven. I can still see the layout ...more

  • Inside The Poker Tour, Volume 95 - Here Come the Women

    Wednesday, July 30, 2008, Dennis Waterman
    So many women taking the stage these days! Some say that it happens because of the internet where one doesn't directly confront other players. That might be true, but on the other hand it can only happen if the chat is not looked at, becaus...more

  • WSOP Championship 'American Dream' to Poker World

    Saturday, July 26, 2008, Josh Nagel
    Participation in the World Series of Poker Main Event has escalated to such previously unfathomable heights that there has been strong speculation as to whether a top-name pro will ever win it again. A professional has not won the Main Even...more

  • Inside the Tour, Vol. 94: Seniors Tournaments

    Thursday, July 17, 2008, Dennis Waterman
    There has to be a lot of equity in playing in events where the players are falling asleep at the table, showing cards, and falling out of their wheelchairs. Or so one would think. But I've played well over 30 senior events in poker and have...more

  • 2008 WSOP $10,000 NLHE World Championship Day 7: Dennis Phillips Maintains Lead, Heads November Final

    Tuesday, July 15, 2008, Amy Calistri
