Amazingly to me anyway the World Series of Poker numbers are up so far this year. This is despite many players declaring the doom of the US online poker industry after Black Friday. Entries as on June 14th has increased in most of the events compared to 2010.

Most thought the numbers would be down especially in the higher buy in events but that just isn’t the case again at least so far. Many online poker players such as yours truly still have significant money tied up at Full Tilt Poker or heaven forbid Absolute/UltimateBet Poker from Black Friday. Pokerstars as you may know paid out most US players within 2 weeks. Kudos to Pokerstars.
