Phil Kessel will compete at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas this summer for the eighth consecutive year.
“I look forward to coming to Vegas, for the last eight years I’ve been coming out here for a few weeks," Kessel said in an interview with PokerCentral.com. "This summer I’m looking at playing the $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha and $25,000 Pot Limit Omaha events and it would mean a lot to do well in them even though I know how hard and unlikely it is.”
Kessel said that he plays a "decent amount" of poker during the year at Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh when he has time off.
