World Series of Poker Review, July 16 and July 17: Poker
Posted by admin on Jul 21, 2010
The 7th day of the World Series of Poker Main Event was marked on 16th July. Only 21 players survived to make it to Day 8 even though with the hopes of becoming the next world champion, 78 players started the day.
For a very exciting final table, there are still quite a few notable poker pros in the field. Some of the pros are anticipating the chance of making the November Nine, include Scott Clements, David Baker, Matt Affleck, Jason Senti, Michael Mizrachi, Adam Levy, John Racene and William Thorson.
To make it through day 7, there were a few pros that were not as lucky, while still in the hunt for the bracelet are all of these well-known players. Josh Brikis, Jacobo Fernandez, Tony Dunst and David Benyamine are included in the list of the unfortunate players.
In order to see who would be this year’s November, in the 2010 WSOP Main Event play, July 17th saw an astonishing 17 straight hours of poker.
With 65.9 Million chips heading into the Main Event final table, the chip lead is held by the lucky entrant, jonathan duhamel. Seat number and chip count, here is the list of the lucky nine players, who will come back in November to Las Vegas to play for the first place prize of $8.9 Million.
Seat 1: Jason Senti — 7,625,000
Seat 2: Joseph Cheong — 23,525,000
Seat 3: John Dolan — 46,250,000
Seat 4: Jonathan Duhamel — 65,975,000
Seat 5: Michael Mizrachi — 14,450,000
Seat 6: Matthew Jarvis — 16,700,000
Seat 7: John Racener — 19,050,000
Seat 8: Filippo Candio — 16,400,000
Seat 9: Soi Nguyen — 9,650,000
At this year’s World Series of poker, Michael Mizrachi has a chance to cap off an amazing run. The $50,000 buy-in Players Championship tournament, has already won by “The Grinder” in June and from this year’s WSOP, he has the chance to win two of the most prestigious titles.
I am sure remaining players would like the first place prize of $8.9 Million much more, although $811,000 payday is guaranteed for all of the remaining players. Over the next few months, it will be interesting to learn the stories of each of these poker players, as a new world champion is awaited eagerly by the poker world.
