New Poker Champion of World Series Announced

Donny Chia reported, “Paul Wasicka the prodigy wins Tunica Championship and he overcame 96 Players to win $139,422. Such stories are really inspiring for young fellows like us who dream a lot to win a poker tournament. But the bad news is that only God knows when the US laws are going to legalize the poker games online.

“Paul J. Wasicka (born February 17, 1981 in Dallas, Texas) is a professional poker player, based in Las Vegas, Nevada who was the runner-up at the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event and the winner of the 2007 NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship.

Wasicka started playing poker in 2004 when he attended an underground tournament in Denver, Colorado. He formerly worked as a bartender and restaurant manager before shifting over to poker. Wasicka finished as runner-up to Jamie Gold in the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event, winning over $6,000,000.”

“Though few states have shown some interest in table games as well as electronic bingo, online poker has miles to go before it becomes a dream of every college or university poker player to play it from his apartment or hostel room. Even though a few dared to play the game online with websites based in some other countries, the new laws have even directed credit card companies to block deposits money to online or illegal poker sites.

Well, our bad days would soon be over, what do you say guys? Hope so! Coming back to this fellow, Paul Wasicka, the 2006 World Series Poker main event runner up is the champion of 2010. He is a great motivator and inspiration for those who wish to really make big in poker. Just imagine his perseverance and patience.

He took four years to achieve this feat. And so, guys we learn a lesson that dumb heads like us should not think of becoming a millionaire in one day because Rome was not built in a Day! Wasicka is a well known poker professional, and you can learn a lot from his blog. Many poker players are his fan. He loves to play the game in his own style and that’s where he stands different from others. He really kicked start this year with this win.

The second position has been occupied by another champion, Mr. Hoyt Corkins, who recently in January won the World Poker Tour Southern Poker Championship; that was his second WPT title. Jeff Madsen another popular poker player could not make a slot in this tournament though he made his career earnings nearly $3,245,105 with his last win of Borgata Winter Open Championship.

The World Series Poker Event was held in Tunica, Mississippi on Wednesday February 10, and he Wasicka won the World Series of Poker Circuit $5,000 no-limit hold’em. And guys when it is Texas hold’em you must realize how much patience and brilliant game he might have played to outsmart other masters in the event. With this win of $139,422 he made total $7,768,115 of his career earnings.

Throughout the event, the man remained cool and didn’t let his cool temper and emotions a slip, and when he came to the final table, he became more confident with a chip lead of 454,000. While giving an interview to the representatives of WSOP Wasika said, “Other than the heads-up championship, this was my first major tournament win.

This is something that I’ve been searching for, for a very long time.” (Lucchesi, 2010) So, even we can also have something that we are searching for. All we need is half inspiration and half dedication. Half inspiration we got from Wasicka and the dedication now depends on our activity.”
