This summer’s WSOP is no different, running as fast as an electronic shuffle machine through three-and-a-half weeks. More than half of the championship bracelets have already been handed out, and today marks the official midway point with 24 sessions officially completed. Three-and-a-half short weeks from now, a new Main Event final table of nine players will be the talk of the poker world. There’s still plenty to figure out before then, and a lot is already settled, at the Rio.
