Today is the 14th day of the 2008 WSOP running at the Rio in Las Vegas, and two more events kick off in the Amazon room. There is yet another No Limit Holdem event, and something new, a mixed Pot Limit Holdem + Pot Limit Omaha event.

Our prediction was Andy Bloch. Here's why. At the start of the season we said Andy was going to do well in every $10,000 event he played in, and so far he's done very well. He made it to 2nd in the Pot Limit event and pulled down over $250,000, and 7th in the Limit event and picked up over $80,000. In the $5,000 mixed event he made it to 16th.
