 VERSUS: WORLD SERIES VS. WORLD SERIES POKER I GOT A CHUCKLE OUT OF THIS! VERSUS: WORLD SERIES VS. WORLD SERIES POKER News Tribune Staff; The News Tribune Baseball is not the only sport with a World Series. The World Series of Poker is held every May. How do the two compare? ENTRY FEE Poker: $10,000 if you qualify by winning a satellite tournament. Baseball: If you don't have a payroll of $90 million, you probably won't get in the World Series. Edge: Poker. Because even George Steinbrenner can't buy a World Series of Poker title. LOCATION Poker: Binion's Horseshoe Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas. Baseball: Likely one of the sites will be Yankee Stadium (again). Edge: Poker. If you're itchin' to see the Big Apple while in Vegas, catch a cab to New York, New York Casino. LONE STAR STATE Poker: Game is Texas Hold 'Em. Baseball: Because Texas pitchers can't hold 'em, Rangers dead last in AL West. Edge: Poker. A-Rod has a better shot to win World Series of Poker than a World Series with Rangers. FOOD Poker: You can get steak and eggs for $2.99 at Vegas casinos. Baseball: Hot dogs around $6, large soda around $5. Edge: Poker. Maybe baseball should offer all-you-can-eat buffet. WAGERING Poker: You can pretty much bet on anything while in Vegas. Baseball: No betting allowed in baseball (see: Rose, Pete). Edge: Baseball. If betting was good for you, why is it illegal everywhere but Nevada? POWER Poker: Flush beats a pair. Baseball: Pair of aces (Randy Johnson, Curt Schilling) beat team flush with stars (Yankees) last year. Edge: Baseball. If only the Mariners could've bluffed the Yankees last postseason ... HUMORLESS GUY IN A SUIT Poker: Pit boss. Baseball: Bud Selig. Edge: Poker. A pit boss can comp your hotel room. Bud Selig can complicate the All-Star Game. AND THE WINNER IS ... The World Series of Poker, 5-2. Say, aren't those the odds that Atlanta will win the National League pennant? News Tribune staff  |

| Chances of Binion's closing down 100% (aren't they already?) Chances of MLB closing down 0% (they've tried numerous times yet seem indestructable) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
