Denis Grigoriev's WSOP 2008 Adventures: Travel Troubles and Poker Triumphs
Denis Grigoriev and Mikhail Savinov were sent to cover the WSOP 2008 for PokerNews. Their journey to Las Vegas was fraught with delays and issues, including problems with baggage and security checks.
Despite the travel troubles, Grigoriev and Savinov managed to make it to the WSOP 2008 and immediately began their coverage. They met several Russian poker players, including Nikolai Evdakov, Sergey Rybachenko, Lika Gerasimova, and Andrey Zaichenko. They also witnessed Alexander Denisov, playing under the Belarusian flag, finish in 6th place in a $1,000 rebuy tournament, earning $144,187.
Nikolai Evdakov set a new record by making 10 in-the-money finishes at the WSOP 2008, surpassing the previous record of 8 ITM finishes held by several other players.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
