Today at the WSOP, the best story has four legs, a service vest, and a better sense of timing than half the players in the room. Ben Ditsch’s golden retriever, Chief, isn’t there for decoration or table-image warfare — he’s there because he can help keep Ditsch alive. Elsewhere, Gus Hansen is spending breaks juggling because poker apparently needed one more circus act. And then we’ve got the best smiles of the WSOP, because sometimes this place actually remembers joy.
