Jordan Farmar running deep in 2009 WSOP Main Event
Poker Listings: Jordan Farmar is three years into his career as a guard for the Los Angeles Lakers but he’s the ultimate rookie at the poker table.
Nonetheless, just weeks removed from winning an NBA championship with the Lakers, Farmar is finding success at the 2009 WSOP Main Event.
“I’ve never played online,” he said. “I played one day before I came here. The day before I flew out to Vegas I went to the casino in L.A. and played just so I knew what was going on at the table.”

Farmar is faring pretty well, considering there aren’t too many players in the field with the lack of experience he’s working with.

dang..farmar can run the point and the table?!?! he’s awesome
That is great! I can’t wait to see the main event in a couple of months on ESPN
Maybe he can donate his winnings toward Lamar Odom’s contract
He has the Ring, now he wants a bracelet!!
he’s going to do really well, up until shannon brown shows up and takes his spot on the table.
Farmar better win some money he’s going to need it. Flipping burgers after next year will be a big pay cut. Maybe he can work at Luke’s restraunt with sasha. Sasha already has the hairnet…
