If you frequent the World Series of Poker often enough, it's easy to forget how special these events are. For the majority of poker players, it's a dream come true the first time they sit down at the table, even if they're unable to get anything going on the felt.
Minutes ago, a gentleman was all in holding 
on a 
board. Lisandro had him at risk, holding 
, and the 
on the river gave the 2009 WSOP Player of the Year the wheel. The player who had just been eliminated stood up, smiled, and proudly announced, "This was my first ever World Series of Poker event."
"Really?" Lisandro asked with a smile.
"See you tomorrow, then," Daniel Negreanu added.
The player politely asked Negreanu if he'd take a picture with him, and Negreanu happily agreed. After taking the picture, the table bid the gentleman adieu and he left grinning, despite falling nearly 400 spots from the money.
That's the WSOP for you.
