Each week we will be handpicking our favorite four videos from around the hallways of the 43rd Annual World Series of Poker.

Being that it’s just the first week, not everyone has made it into town yet. If you’re still planning your trip to Sin City, or if you’ve never been and find yourself wondering how exactly the Rio is laid out for the “poker event of the year,” then check out Kristy Arnett and Sarah Grant’s guided tour.

Before the WSOP kicked off, Shaun Deeb was a name on many people’s lips, tweets and thread posts when he accumulated some outstanding PokerStars SCOOP results. A new segment we’ve started on PokerNews is “Explain This,” where players explain various pictures or articles we find after trolling through their Facebook pages, Twitter accounts, etc. Without a doubt, Shaun Deeb was a perfect candidate.

She is super hot, and she’s off to an excellent year in poker, so why wouldn’t Kristy Arnett call the clock on Xuan Liu?

On Friday, myself and Kristy Arnett joined together on the secondary feature table on the stage of the Pavillion at the Rio to bring you all the highlights that came out of the first week of the WSOP. You can check that out in the PokerNews Weekly. Fellas, be sure to wait for the little “gift” at the end.
