There's never truly a down time at the World Series of Poker, once festivities begin. It's essentially a poker festival running for well over 1,200 consecutive hours, from the opening of the registration booths and satellite and cash-game play in late May through the resolution of the Main Event in July. This year, of course, that last final table won't be held until November, yet there will come a point in mid-July that the sprawling hive of activity in the Rio Convention Center called the World Series of Poker will cease to be.
