WSOP: July 1 Recap
Posted by admin on Jul 2, 2010
If June 30th was a calm day at the World Series of Poker then July 1st was just the opposite. With 5 tournaments happening simultaneously this was one of the busiest days at this year’s World Series of Poker. Of those 5 tournaments only one champion was crowned, this was in event #51 ($3,000 No Limit Hold’em Triple Chance).
Ryan Welch, a long time internet poker pro, finally won his first live tournament, which happened to be the $3,000 No Limit Hold’em Triple Chance tournament at the WSOP. Welch won a 3 hour heads up match against fellow internet pro Jon Eaton to take down the title. For his efforts Welch will receive $559,000 bringing his lifetime winnings to just under $2 Million.
While there was only one tournament that wrapped up today two others continued towards their respective final tables. Event #52 ($25,000 No Limit Hold’em 6 Handed) continued with its second day of play. Famous poker pro Daniel Negreanu was one of the chip leaders after day one. Negreanu has had a relatively disappointing Series so far, and he would love a deep run in this high profile event.
Event #53 is also entering its second day of competition. 548 players have signed up for this $1,500 No Limit Hold’em Shooutout tourney. First place will receive $185,000 when the final table happens on July 2nd. Event #54 ($1,000 No Limit Hold’em) and event #55 $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha Championship both got started today. Play will continue through the weekend with each tournament ending on July 4th and July 3rd respectively.
