Event 13 - $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em... we have a winner: Duncan "Pumper" Bell and he takes home the $666,697 and the bracelet! Congratulations Mr. Bell! You'll recall that I mentioned that there was a player from Fairmont, WV named Steve Merrifield. Although he didn't win the event, he DID make it to 2nd place. Unfortunately, his pocket 10's ran smack dab into pocket Aces!!! Ouch! Sorry Steve, but hopefully the $428,949 cushions the blow just a bit. We look forward to seeing again in the future. Hey with a little extra cashflow, we might even see you again in another WSOP event in the near future. Congratulations to the both of them!!! And thanks MeanGene for the excellent coverage. Don't forget to read all about it over at http://www.pokernews.com/live-reporting/.
Event 14 - $10,000 Seven-Card Stud World Championship is currently down to the final 5. The only recognizable pro still in the running for the top prize is Erik Seidel, but to get there, he's going to need a double-up very , very soon. Hang in there Erik!
Sadly, Evelyn Ng went out in 48th place in Event 15 - $1,000 Ladies No-Limit Hold'em World Championship. I was rooting for her! Good luck through the remainder of the series! As of now, only 23 of the original 1,190 ladies remain.
Event 16 - $2,000 Omaha Hi/Lo still has 81 of the original 553 players left. There's still plenty of poker to be played before morning... : )
Event 17 $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout and Event 18 $5,000 No-Limit 2-7 Draw w/ Rebuys are far from over and there's much too much still to happen. We'll just have to wait on those.
Back here on the homefront, Cole and I returned from the baseball game and went for a quick swim in the pool. Ahhh, now that was relaxing. Unfortunately tomorrow it's back to the old grind. How can I possibly be expected to focus on work while the Series continues to roll along? We'll see what tomorrow brings us.
