The Big Poker Show rolls into town today for the 41st time and will add another chapter to the rich history of the game. The 2010 World Series of Poker opens today with the Poker Player’s Championship event #2, a $50,000 Buy-In challenge that draws poker’s elite from dozens of countries around the world.
There’s also a WSOP tradition, the Casino Employees No-Limit Hold’em event #1, a $500 Buy-In tournament limited to workers of the poker industry.
For the only official live blog coverage direct from the green felt of the WSOP tables go to PokerNews.com. Hundreds of photos published as it happens.
Today, Friday 28th, sees a full moon rising in the East. How many years before another WSOP begins on a full moon?

Tonight at 8
Game 5 of Eastern Conference first-round playoffs
(Cavs lead best-of-seven series, 3-1)
TV: TNT, Fox Sports Ohio, WUAB
RADIO: WTAM
WHAT WILL HAPPEN: The Cavs have an opportunity to close out the Bulls tonight. Expect that to happen.
Teams don’t want to prolong the series. If the Cavs win tonight, they’d probably be off until Sunday for Game 1 of the East semifinals. Boston can also close out the Miami Heat tonight.
Bulls guard Derrick Rose had an MRI on his left ankle on Monday. He’ll play, but he might not be as explosive. No one will know until the teams get out on the court.
Forward Luol Deng, who’s had to defend LeBron James in the series, is also not 100 percent. He’s is suffering from calf and knee injuries. He was held out of practice on Monday, along with Rose.
The 6-9 Deng has made James work, but the latter is averaging 35 points, 9.0 rebounds and 8.0 assists. That’s not bad in the Painesville rec league, no less the NBA.
The Cavs have made an average of 11 3-pointers in the first four games of the series in 26 attempts. GM Danny Ferry has surrounded James with 3-point shooters in Mo Williams, Anthony Parker, Jamario Moon and others. When they are on their game, they are unbeatable.
* * *
LBJ’S SHOT: LeBron James’ 40-some foot shot against the Bulls wasn’t a heave. It was a regular shot from just over midcourt.

BANGO STUNT: OK, I don’t usually get too excited about mascot’s stunts. But this one by Bucks mascot, Bango, is crazy.

I think I might have mentioned something last week about having had plans to interview Kara Scott, the poker player who has appeared as a host or presenter on numerous poker shows, including currently on “High Stakes Poker.” We did get a chance to talk this week, and the interview can now be read over on Betfair.
I asked her about various topics, including how she got into poker and poker TV, “High Stakes Poker,” the recent PartyPoker Big Game IV in London, her joining up with team PartyPoker, and her own play, in particular those two deep runs in the WSOP Main Event she has had over the last couple of years (finishing 104th and 238th).
As was the case last week with Matthew Hilger, I had a lot of fun talking with Kara, especially regarding her experience at the 2008 WSOP. I was also surprised a little about the story of her having trained as a Thai boxer (and that being an avenue to television for her). I guess I had heard that about her at some point along the way, but had forgotten.
There was one question I didn’t ask her which didn’t occur to me until later on, a question having to do with her new affiliation with PartyPoker. She mentioned how there would be some television work there for her with Party — the Big Game IV was an example. I remembered afterwards that PartyGaming had purchased the World Poker Tour last year, so I might’ve asked if she knew anything about the future of that relationship (including the TV side of things).
We also talked a bit about interviewing players, generally speaking — something with which Kara has a lot of experience. Speaking of, I mentioned last week I was thinking of compiling a list of poker-related interviews I’ve done, so here that is:
Dennis Phillips (October 2008)
Barry Greenstein (April 2009) — Part 1 & Part 2
Andy Bloch (May 2009)
James McManus (November 2009)
Victoria Coren (January 2010)
Kevin Mathers (February 2010)
Lou Krieger (February 2010)
Ilya Gorodetsky (March 2010)
Matthew Hilger (April 2010)
Kara Scott (April 2010)
Have other fun stuff coming up over on Betfair Poker in the near future, including involving contributions from some of your favorite poker bloggers regarding the good-gawd-is-it-less-than-five-weeks-away-that-can’t-be-right-I-guess-it-is 2010 WSOP. (Stay tuned!)
Meanwhile, enjoy the weekend, all! Don’t forget the BBT5 continues over on Full Tilt Poker (details here).
