And it HAS become a National Sport! The most fascinating thing is that those of us who play, even a little, can all identify with these folks. After all, many of those at the final table and even winners over the past few years have not been professionals, but rather, ordinary people, both men and women who have been playing online like we have. There but for the Grace of God . . . Well, maybe not. But we're still hoping! Congratulations to Joseph Hachem, 2005 World Series of Poker Champion!
