Poker: World Series of Poker Review, July 13 and 14
Posted by admin on Jul 16, 2010
Players returned to the World Series of Poker Main Event for day 3 on Monday, after they had a day off on Sunday. In this year’s Main Event, day 3 was the first time that all of the players were not in different poker rooms, but in the same room at the same time. Day 3 had lots of action, similar to the other days of the WSOP. The success of two-time Main Event champion Johnny Chan is one of the more compelling stories from this year’s Main Event. On day 3, with 636,000 chips, Chan ended his day and he was among the chip leaders at the end of the day.
Another chip leader after day 3 was Jim Collopy. When his opponent shoved all in preflop with A3 against his pocket kings, he was able to win a huge pot. Collopy’s kings enabled him and held up to amass a chip stack well over 600k. Robert Mizrachi, Eric Baldwin, Alexander , Shannon Shorr, Jean-Robert Bellande , Kostritsyn, Steve Billirakis, Lauren Kling, Scott Clements, Johnny Lodden and Barry Shulman, reigning WSOP Europe main event champion, were the other notable players who were able to survive day 3.
There were a few poker pros, which were unlucky and they hit the rail early, while there were many poker pros, who continued to have a successful Main Event. Roland de Wolfe, Chad Batista, Erik Seidel, Allyn Jaffrey Shulman, Daniel Negreanu, Vanessa Rousso, Jon Turner, Prahlad Friedman, David Williams and Kenny Tran were some of the notable poker players included. Joe Cada, defending champion was also included in this group. When Cada’s AQ was unable to beat his opponent’s pocket 10s, he was eliminated on day 3. For Cada, the 2010 World Series of Poker was rather disappointing and he was unable to cash in a single event.
During the Main Event, on Day 4 Tuesday, the money bubble finally burst. With the hopes of continuing their quest to become a world champion, 1,205 players started day 4. At the Main Event, in the end only 747 players are now able to say they made the money. David Sands, Matt Savage, Annie Duke, Barry Shulman, Matt Graham, Adam Junglen, Erica Schoenberg and Barry Greenstein were some of the notable players who were eliminated just before the money. While those players who were able to survive day 4 and were unlucky and unable to make the money these players were Alexander Kostritsyn, Scott Clements, Adam Levy, Shannon Shorr, Scotty Nguyen, Jesper Hougaard and Hasan Habib. Tony Dunst who has 1.546 Million chips is the current chip leader.
