One of the best parts, from a poker media junkie point of view, about the World Series of Poker is that all the biggest names in the game are under one roof and most are willing to take a little time to answer some questions for the fans.

Over the course of the first part of the 2014 WSOP there have been some great profiles of poker pros – some you know and other who are new to the scene. So, we’ve decided to compile a list here (as everyone love a good list) of some longer articles and interviews you should check out before you actually decided to do any work today.
