WSOP 2009 thread [Spoilers only in here please]

nicnicnic

thread for whats happening in the Rio needed imo



so Ivey won his 6th bracelet. Fair play to him but while the fan boys are creaming themselves how big an achievement is it to win this event. $96k for a new no limit low draw event with 147 runners. I'm not knocking Ivey but the event seems pretty meh. I'm thinking that there is way to many bracelet events, I know he cleaned up on the prop bets but thats beside the point. This event has a smaller field and prizepool then a side event at the IO, how much of an achievement was it for Ivey to win it. Watching the immediate aftermath of his win all Ivey wanted to do was jump straight into the $10k mixed event.

He probably won over a million in prop bets so any bracelet will do

nicnicnic

He said during the HU that he wins 3 million from props if he wins

Alot more than that.

There's small fields in most events that arent NLHE or PLO in fairness.

I watched a little bit of the headsup last night, 100% most boring thing ever.

wrong, if it was limit you would have capped yourself

nicnicnic

I watched about six hours of it FML seemed a very basic two street game

Limit would have been much more interesting IMO. At least then there'd be a little action... I watched it for a bit too, really just to see if Ivey would win, but my god, it was mind numbingly boring!!!

i watched 10 seconds of it and turned it off

To put this in perspective, Ivey left his first prize winnings as a tip for the dealers.

you can add me to this category the way I've been playing the last two months, how many starters do you reckon they'll get.

4-5 tables i'd say, i dont know too much about the place though, dont play there much, there isn't many poker tables in there last time i was there, but i'm sure they'll have enough to facilitate a good few, they'd need around 40 runners to meet the gtd i think

see that former SE regular (8th in last years winter festival ) Warran Woodall is 7th in chips with 25 out of 1646 starters remaining in the £2k nlh. Hellmuth still in that but low

mdwexford

Hellmuth is actually busted, 66 vs JT AIPF, 37QKA board.

Say he took that one on the chin.

Is that the young American dude-very good player if the most charming punter in the world.

CHD

Doyle and Huck Seed in with a shout of a bracelet today in the $10,000 World Championship Mixed Event, great to see either of them take it down.

yeah Oz's side kick, fair hair, went back to the states last Nov. I think he was affiliate manager at full tilt.

BigCityBanker

warren is a very nice guy - would love to see him scoop the bracelet.

DeWolfe and Ivey in the last 20 who return in the 2500 holdem event. Ivey is terminally short though.

Negranu has a bucket load if chips coming back as one of the 11 players in 2500 limit 6 handed holdem - he must be a the jolly to take this.

Juan Pablo

Andy Black through to Day 2 in the $5k NLH

Andy Black is in Good Spririts

Andy Black stepped away from his table to stretch his legs and we took the opportunity to ask him how he's doing. "I've got 72," he said. "I turned 40 into 2 bluffing, and turned 2 into 72. I'm OK."

165 left out of the 655 runners.

itsallgrand

Who the hell is this Wahlbeck guy from Finland??? 1st and 3rd in the two world championship events so far and now running deep in the Omaha Split? I never heard of him before

Any more Irish updates from Vegas? Have we many over there now? Presumably a lot still to fly out yet.

Also any thoughts on most cashes this year. Had a bet with a couple of mates and couldn't agree who would have Negraneau so he was excluded. Jason Mercier was one of my two picks in the end !

5starpool

I think this needs to be stickied for a few weeks.

nicnicnic

I had flights booked for the first of 1 st july until the 15th, planing on just playing the ME , it has got the better of me sitting around following whats happening and just changed my flight out to next Wednesday:)

Tony_Montana

Best of luck to all the Irish out there. Take it down

Some text updates from Rob Taylor (NorwichFanRob) playing today's shootout.

20 minutes into level 1, 4 gone from his table already! Some mental **** going on by all accounts. Rob claimed one victim who apparently openshipped AQo 5 hands in into Rob's KK.

5 mins to end of level 2 (50/100), 6 left, Rob on 8275, just over double starting stack.

Yup. Guarantedd over $5K if you do I beieve.

Three handed now, Rob on 9300

Rob out in trademark sickening fashion. After making a massive 3 bet ship call 3 handed for most of the chips in play with A5 preflop and finding himself up against K7, he was ahead all the way to the river.
