Event 21 - $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Scott Seiver won his first WSOP bracelet and the $755,891 first prize. Congratulations on a long, hard-fought battle.
Event 22 - $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. Jens Voertmann finally bested the field of 414 entrants to take down the top spot, WSOP bracelet and $298,253 for his trouble. Sadly, Marcel Luske could not battle his way back and busted in 3rd place. Hopefully, his win of $110,264 will soften the blow just a bit. Jennifer Harman finished up in 8th position with $30,851 as well.
Event 23 - $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em has narrowed the field down to the final 9 from the original starting 1,344. The $507,613 prize awaits one of them, as action gets underway again today at 2:00pm PDT.
Event 24 - $2,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em/Omaha has whittled the pack down to the final 9 as well, from its starting 457. Most notable remaining at the final table and currently 2nd in chip count, is Allen Cunningham. This event will reconvene at 3:00pm PDT.
Event 25 - $10,000 Heads Up No-Limit Hold'em World Championship heads into Day 2 toay with 32 of the original 256 players remaining. A number of pros still remain in this heads up war, including Erick "E-Dog" Lindgren! He's on fire this year!!! Additionally, David Williams, Gavin Griffin, Kenny Tran, Robert Mizrachi, Sammy Farha, and Vanessa Selbst. (Sadly, Clonie Gowen went out in 60th place, but $14,438 kept her from leaving empty handed.) Clonie, if you're sad and need a shoulder to cry on... cheer_dad's here for you! : )
Event 26 - $1,500 Razz enters Day 2 with 104 of the initial 453 players remaining. They'll get under way today at 3:00pm PDT. The bracelet and $157,619 awaits the eventual winner. The current chip leader is Barry Greenstein. Not far behind him in 6th place is the Vanessa Rousso. Hang in there! She is another I would really like to see take down the WSOP bracelet this year. (Sorry Barry, but I'm sure you'll understand.)
Event 27 - $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em and Event 28 - $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha w/ Rebuys are on tap for today.
And then there's also this lesser known event known only to a select few of you as NDPT #8, that'll be a little further away from the Vegas glitz. That's right, cheer_dad plays host tonight to yet another gathering of the low-stakes and lower-standards crowd. The cards get in the air tonight beginning at 6:00pm EST. Last count had us at around 24 players. See you all real soon.
I'll also have to recap a little of the action from last night at the Yanok's poker night. Thanks to Brian and Shelley for being fantastic hosts. Big Red and I only made it for Game #2 of the night, but just couldn't really make anything materialise. We both made the final table, but just couldn't outlast the pack, with our short stacks. I got the remainder of mine in on a flush draw, with 2 callers, but there was no other spade to be found. To the rail I went. I'll have to find out how that ended up. In game #1 I believe JR (Uncle June) took it down, in a big way, but I think he has some commentary he wants to post up on this, so I think I'll let him do a guest post to recap the action that I wasn't there to see.
That's all for now... but as always stop back by for further updates, but for the in-depth blow-by-blow coverage, head on over to http://www.pokernews.com/live-reporting/. What you haven't bookmarked it yet!!!
Regards,
cheer_dad
