Poker: WSOP Recap, June 19
Posted by admin on Jun 22, 2010
June 19th, 2010 was another action packed day at the World Series of Poker. Event #32 and #33 wrapped up their action and crowned two more World Series of Poker champions. Event #32, a $5,000 buy-in No Limit Hold’em Six Handed tourney, was won by Jeffrey Papola. This was Papola’s second chance at a bracelet in just 4 days.
Earlier in the week he was heads up against online sportsbook poker favorite, Will Haydon in the $2,500 buy-in version of the same event. However, this time Papola was able to beat his opponent, Men Nguyen, in a heads up match that lasted just over 4 hours. Other notable poker pro Erick Lindgren was also at this final table, and finished 6th for $82,000. Papola will take home $667,000 for beating a field of 568 players.
The other event that held its final table on June 19th was event #33, which is a $2,500 Pot Limit Hold’em/Omaha tournament. This event, which drew a field of 482 poker players, was won by Jose Luis Velador. This is actually Velador’s second WSOP bracelet. He won one back in 2008 in a no limit event. Velador will be taking home $260,000 for his efforts along with that second gold bracelet.
Event #36, a $1,000 No Limit Hold’em event, and Event #37, a $3,000 HORSE event, got underway on the 19th as well. Event #36 is expected to be a huge field, and actually has two day 1’s. Day 1A was on the 19th while Day 1B is on the 20th. The final table will be held on June 22nd. This is one of the few $1,000 buy-in events making it possible for more recreational players to afford the buy-in. Event #37 will hold its final table on June 21.
