WSOP Main Event Review July 5
Posted by admin on Jul 8, 2010
The long anticipated Main Event got under way yesterday at the World Series of Poker. A $10,000 No Limit Hold’em event that is expected to draw well over 4,000 players to play poker and it is the biggest, most prestigious poker tournament in the world. This year’s main event is going to be broken down into four separate day 1s. The first of these day 1s drew 1,125 players, which was whittled down to roughly 800 players, who will return on Friday for day 2A.
There were not too many notable poker pros amongst the chip leaders on the first day of competition. Perhaps the most well known player among the chip leaders is Michale Mizrachi. Mizrachi is continuing a strong World Series of Poker with his fine performance on day 1 of the main event.
Rather than having more notable players at the top of the leader board, day 1A has been known for the players that were eliminated. Former WSOP Main Event champ Greg Raymer busted out early when his pair of queens and flush draw lost to a flopped set of 10s. Raymer was not the only high profile victim today, other notable pros to make an early exit include Nick Shulman, Chino Rheem and Victor Ramdin.
Day 1 play will continue for the rest of the week with day 1B through 1D. Day 2A will commence on Friday and will consist of players from day 1A and 1C.
