It's that time of year again, the time when 500 or 600 of guys and gals who want to be the best poker player in the world descend on Binion's Horseshoe.
Downtown is right in the middle of big things right now.
Then things get serious. For the uninitiated, Texas hold'em was started by 12 ranch hands in a bunkhouse with only one deck of cards. Each player gets two cards face down. Kind of high-stakes liar's poker. The best lady poker player in the world gets decided, starting May 13, the day before the really big event.
