James "Bo" Beauman III has made the long trip down from Alaska one more time. He played in an earlier event and was out within the first hour. "Bo" said, "I'm going to last more than one hour this time, even if I have to throw pocket kings away." That's going to be pretty hard, but you never know.

Kristi Smith has also joined the ranks of players that have traveled down from Alaska to try there luck and enjoy the experience. Many poker players travel thousands of miles from all over the world to play at the W.S.O.P., but the majority are professionals. The interest in poker has grown in Alaska to such an extent that over 20 players have attended so far this year and over 60 are already making plans for next year.
