Because you read the Chiliblog every time we post and because you love Chilipoker (yes you do), you are not without knowing that we sent quite a few players to the WSOP main event in Las Vegas. In case you missed it please catch up by reading this and this

Well, although it is really hard to be a November Nine, like Matt Gianetti, who is warming up quite well lately, even winning the WPT Malta, it is also very hard to deep run in a tournament when about 7,000 players started (and even more when the buy in is $10,000). Well, two of our players, Nelson and Norson, decided that this year they would take the Chilipoker colors up high. Nelsinho Dantas won the chilipoker “last longer” and finished 236th in this event. Eventhough he didn’t reach the money, Norson certainly distinguished himself from the rest of the field.

While trying to build a decent stack for the rest of the day, Norson was brought to a new table, like is always happen during a long tournament. A couple of sharks were waiting for him at this very same table, as poker pros Daniel Negreanu and Sami Kelopuro were already bullying the table.

Whatever the issue, we were glad to see our colors on ESPN, when we started to watch the 2011 WSOP Series.

You will find Norson playing a couple of hands on the feature table on the pokercast website, at 1:18:20 onwards.
