Whether you're a longtime grinder of the game or a relative newbie, everybody likes getting their picture taken at the poker table. Well, for the most part — as long as it's a good shot.
Over the past two months, PokerOrg and the 8131 Media photographers have put together quite a collection of snapshots from the action at the World Series of Poker. Below, we've selected a handful of photographs to highlight with the intent of providing a feeling for what it's like to be on the ground at poker's summer camp.

It's tough to stand out amongst the hordes of poker players walking the halls and sitting the tables at the WSOP, but there's one surefire way to get a photographer's attention: wear a funky hat.
The big-name winners
It was another record-breaking summer at the WSOP and, along the way, several big names added new bracelets to their collections. Among them were Daniel Negreanu, Phil Ivey, Scott Seiver, John Hennigan, Nick Schulman, and Robert Mizrachi.
