Well of course I've fallen behind. After our second All-Star game on Saturday, the family and I headed South for Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Unfortunately it wasn't until today that I was able to secure a network cable to attach. I had assumed wireless connectivity was available here at the Baywatch complex. I thought wrong. But before we cover beach time, let's recap where I left off with the Main Event of the WSOP.
Way back on Day 5, players returned to finish out about 38 minutes of Level 19 and then continue on playing an additional 5 levels. A number of ups and downs occurred, including a "down" for Phil Hellmuth. As players headed into Round 20 Mr. Hellmuth asked to remain in the Amazon Room which doesn't happen for anyone. He said he wanted to pace. Officials directed him to the hallway where he could pace his little heart out.
Ahhhh man Hoyt Corkins has been eliminated. One of those hands where you've got pocket Queens, and they run into pocket Aces, and don't improve. Ouch!
Other notables who were eliminated are Chip Jett, Gus Hansen, Jeremmiah Smith, Justin St. John, Allen Cunningham and Shawn "Sheiky" Sheikhan, and Kara Scott.
Somewhere during the action, Phil Hellmuth was directed to his new seat right next to Mike Matusow in Seat 6.
Tiffany Michelle is on top of one helluva stack, looking as lovely as ever.
And as much as you gotta love to hate the guy, Phil Hellmuth has gone deep into the Main Event, but his journey came to an end as welll, as he finished in 45th place and takes home $154,400 for his efforts. I'm still he hasn't stopped his whining yet.
Aww man Mike Matusow was eliminated in 30th place. Pre flop his AJ was best, but a turned nine gave Paul Snead two pair aces and nines to take down the pot. Congratulations, on going so deep in the tournament and for a cool $193,000.
Day 6 came to a close with only 27 players remaining. Dennis Phillips found himself on a mountian of chips with 11.9 million. Tiffany Michelle is way up there as well with over 9.7 million.
Day 7 then fired up...One of the most notable events was that Tiffany Michelle busted out in 17th place. She's had an amazing run.. Congratulations, and I look forward to watching you on TV when ESPN runs the series later this year. For her fantastic showing she takes home $334,534.
There are currently only 14 players remaining, and play will have to get down to the final 9 and then comes the extended break. But for tonight, I'm done with my coverage. I'll check back in, in the morning gang to see what went down. It's late, I'm tired, and the sound of the ocean is slowly putting me to sleep.
Good Night.
