WSOP Representative Nolan Dalla, who joined the PocketFives Podcast (http://www.pocketfives.com/Podcast) this week, commented on the massive turnout at the 2008 World Series of Poker: "We had an 8% increase in the number of participants. We had a 13% increase in the total prize money paid out, which is $180 million in 55 events."

Anthony "holdplz" Spinella won the Full Tilt $750K Guaranteed for close to $133K, and "JohnnyBelow" of Norway won the Full Tilt Sunday Brawl for $61,500. "Webez" earned $37,500 for his victory in the Absolute Poker $150K Guaranteed Weekly tournament, while "Deckzor" of Germany won the PokerStars $200 Sunday rebuy for $49k.

Long time member "pkb6786" received $23,600 for his win in the Bodog $100K Guaranteed and "dipthrong" won the Full Tilt Sunday Mulligan for $44,400.

Jon "PearlJammer" Turner and Phil "USCphildo" Collins moved up two spots to #5 and #7 respectively this week, but the big leap came from Stian "JohnnyBelow" Stabell of Norway.
