NOTE: I will be travelling from Wednesday through Saturday and will have limited internet access. If there are any open issues at that time, I will try to address them when I return. I ask that this not be closed as a failure if on Saturday if there are open issues.---I'm Spartacus! NO! I'm Spartacus! 19:29, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
WP:POKER is proud to bring the 2007 WSOP results to be considered for a FL. I think I've prepared this per the guidelines that have been used in previous Poker FL's.---I'm Spartacus! NO! I'm Spartacus! 07:17, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are some MOS issues that need to be fixed here. Some of the ones that jumped out at me are below.
Hope that these comments give you somewhere to start. This was just a quick, 15-minute once-over, so there may be myriad other issues which could have been fixed, as I mentioned, at a peer review. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 15:29, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Support -- Although I see that other prose issues were found, I think they have been addressed (as were mine), so the list should meet WP:FL? now.--Truco 18:44, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reference 4 is broken. Giants2008 (17-14) 21:10, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- I'm still uneasy about supporting this. Besides another error I caught (according to the source, Lubarsky finished 193rd and not 197th), the last paragraph has some new problems. The prize/glory dichomoty is only sourced in regards to Korfman and Bennett, not the field in general. Also, the source for Yang's Main Event win doesn't say anything about how money was important to him, and doesn't indicate that he quit his job. Giants2008 (17-14) 23:37, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- 197th was the official standing, added link to that. The first ref is good because it talks about the disability. I'll look at the other issues later this evening.---I'm Spartacus! NO! I'm Spartacus! 00:00, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- As for the money/bracelets debate, that is a common theme among poker players. Michael Mizrachi is known for his mantra of "Money over Bracelets." David Rheem similarly makes no bones about it. Many of the first timers are just hoping to make it big. Phil Gordon and many of the big names talk more about winning the bracelet than the money. I could give example after example on both sides that it isn't even funny.
- As for Yang, expanded section... I wish I could find the quote, "I would say the money. The bracelet to me is a title where you get the notoriety. However, with the money, you can do a lot of good. You can help a lot of people." In a more reliable source.---I'm Spartacus! NO! I'm Spartacus! 04:33, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The dead-link checker shows that several links are having trouble with their connections. Dabomb87 (talk) 19:23, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- From what I saw, apparently the software doesn't like the WSOP cite.---I'm Spartacus! NO! I'm Spartacus! 23:30, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
