Tonight has got to be the slowest night of the year as far as sports is concerned the only rival for that title would have to be All-Star Monday night when there was also basically nothing going on except for the home-run hitting contest.
Let s see, now. I guess the ESPN ESPY awards were tonight, and there was an MLS soccer game between Toronto and Vancouver travel channel tv (who cares zzzz), travel channel tv and the Calgary Stampede has its Rangeland Derby and rodeo going o n. Apart from maybe a few other horse races at the local tracks and the usual minor league sports, travel channel tv that is pretty much it .
WHICH LEAVES THE FIELD WIDE OPEN FOR POKER , with the World Series of Poker $10,000 Main Event still going on as we speak in Las Vegas at the Rio. The field continues to whittle down and you can follow the updates here at the WSOP website .
As usual the main event has attracted its fair share of celebrities, with the likes of Ray Romano, Jason Alexander, Kevin Pollak and others in the field much to the amusement of everyone. The appearance of the usual celebrities is part of what makes the Main Event what it is, and some of them turn out to be pretty good at the game (ie. Jennifer Tilly ).
Yes, indeed, he s playing in the Main Event. Folks in Vancouver seem to be making a scandal travel channel tv out of the fact that he s been sponsored for his $1 0,000 stake by BC Lottery Corporation travel channel tv , and as usual the whiners are calling it a waste of taxpayers money.
If Luongo does well, it s great for BC Lottery Corporation because it means he ll get on TV when ESPN runs the highlights travel channel tv from the WSOP on Tuesday nights. It ll mean lots of publicity for the casinos and online activities that BC Lottery  runs. And as a matter of fact, Luongo has been doing pretty well and at last report was still alive  and in contention. So give Luongo a break, eh?
Another sports celebrity who made his way into the WSOP field is none other than Canadian UFC star Georges St.Pierre . I noticed he even made the cover of this month s WPT Poker magazine. Alas, he didn t last long, busting out quickly on his very first day.
