I can't suggest this is a great article but it always makes me laugh when the traditionalists spout their nonsense.

Taking a stance against the WSOP spreading its wings and staging an event in Europe the author says "I thought “World” Series of Poker meant just that. The world’s best players would travel to Las Vegas to play with the best of best and prove their worthiness."

So the "US" is the world?

The later arguements against the worthiness of Annette Obrestad winning the title and her opinions of fellow professionals are equally farcical.

I think Annette Obrestad talks poker as she sees it. There is no real agenda with her and if she thinks players played poorly against her she will say - no matter how many WSOP bracelets they have won.
