4over Inc. : Gambling with Success

There are few experiences both intimidating and exhilarating as the World Series of Poker (WSOP). It’s basically your Saturday night card game on steroids; this year saw 6,865 close friends pack the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas this past summer for the 42nd annual main event.

The WSOP is an impossible event to win. It’s eight grueling days of 14-hour marathon No Limit Texas Hold ’em play. The so-called poker professionals—the guys (and gals) who play for a living—are generally ousted in the first four days due to the sheer volume of players. Those who make the final table boast a combination of skill, youth, stamina, focus and, of course, luck.
