Event 11 - $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout has come to a close. Phil Tom found himself at the top of the heap earning the $477,990 and a WSOP bracelet. Recall that I mentioned that Greg Mueller remained in this race, and although he didn't get to the top he didn't go away empty handed in 2nd place, winning $298,638. Regardless, the big congratulations goes to to Phil Tom!
Event 12 - $1,500 Limit Hold'em has come to a close. Jimmy Shultz bested the field of 880 and took it down. He earned the bracelet and the $257,105. Congratulations are in order! Also, worth mentioning is Vinny Vinh's 3rd place finish and his $99,099 payday. Erick Lindgren unfortunately just missed a final table appearance in this event, exiting in 10th place for $14,774. Well at least this'll cover his Main Event buyin and maybe couple of buffet meal tickets. : )
Event 13 - $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em gets back underway today at 2:00pm, having thinned the herd down to its final 9. Of great interest to me is the presence of the man in Seat 2, Steve Merrifield who hails from Fairmont, West "by-god" Virginia. With 1,109,000 chips remaining he is one of only 4 players left who is over the 1 Million chip mark. Steve we've never met you but know this that the members of the NDPT here in the Mountain State will all be pulling for you! Good Luck! The bracelet and $666,777 remain to be claimed.
Event 14 - $10,000 Seven-Card Stud World Championship made it down to the final 8 when Phil Ivey bubbled in 9th. The top prize remains to be won, $415,856. Notable Erik Seidel still remains in the running but is short stacked, compared to most of the field. Currently in the chip lead is David Oppenheim with 508,000 in chips.
Event 15 - $1,000 Ladies No-Limit Hold'em World Championship enters Day 2 today at 2:00pm PDT. Of the original 1,190 only 61 players remain. Still recognizable in the remaining field are Evelyn Ng and Kathy Liebert. A $244,702 payday awaits some lucky lady!
Event 16 - $2,000 Omaha Hi/Lo gets day 2 started today at 3:00pm PDT. They are down to 169 of the original 553 in this event. Still among the hopeful for this one are Josh Arieh, David Williams, Scott Clements, Dutch Boyd, David Chiu, and Barry Greenstein, among others.
Event 17 - $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout gets under way today at Noon PDT.
Event 18 - $5,000 No-Limit 2-7 Draw w/ Rebuys starts up at 5:00pm PDT.
Stay tuned for additional updates but as always head over to http://www.pokernews.com/live-reporting/. Those bloggers are doing the job I only wish I could do. : )
I on the other hand have been taking care of an oil change on my truck, fixing the chemical levels in the pool, mowing the lawn and sweating my ass off, in the 95+ degree heat here at home. One of our last 2 baseball games is scheduled for tonight, more sun, more sweat...
