2009 WSOP Main Event Discussion (Caution: Most likely has spoiler news within)

jdeliverer · Jul 3, 2009

The main event starts today; players will certainly be posting updates on Twitter, etc.

So... let's keep all the thoughts in one thread for cleanliness/sanity. Who's going to win the ME? A pro? A Jerry Yang?

By the way, does anyone know when the episodes start airing?

Everyone should come see this thread: Re-Vamped Last Pro Standing Contest

Crystal Blue is running it. For a $5.00 entry fee you get to choose two ME players. If they outlast all the other chosen players then you win the prizepool. They don't have to win the thing they just need to last longer than all others picked in this event. gogogo.

Oh, and if you want to play more than two, you can. For every increment of $5 you can pick two more players.

I don't got monies but if I did they'd be on Hellmuth and Matusow. Most consistent in the ME in the last 5 years.

That would be lovely if a cards chat member one... I am going to be there on the 9th so i will put a little update on whats going on... i know last year i kept up with chip counts on cardplayer i believe

coolnout · Jul 5, 2009

I want a good final table. ESPN Classic has been running poker all night. One of the Omaha finals from 2005 had Cunningham, Ivey, Hellmuth, Williamson. Would be nice for some pros to have a good ME.

OzExorcist · Jul 5, 2009

Day 1C and looks like they'll be lucky to break 6000 entrants this year.

Infamous1020 · Jul 5, 2009

lol PH as caesar

jdeliverer · Jul 5, 2009

Jeff Lisandro is chip leader for Day 1C... if he took this down that would be amazing

JOEBOB69 · Jul 6, 2009

Phill is a self promoting a** hole.Sure he's a damn good poker player but i get so very very tired of his antics.Jeff L so far is haveing one of the best wsop i can remember,an good for him he went so long getting out lucked on finial tables in the past.

"Lady Penalized, Patronized
An unfortunate lady was taken aside by a floorman who most apologetically explained to her that she was being penalized for checking the nuts. "You see, you had the best hand possible, so if someone bets you have to raise and if someone checks you have to bet, you have to create action. See, if you don't, then it's more like a home game, with everyone just checking and all friendly..." The lady in question looked suitably patronized, and was issued her penalty on top of that."

WSOP official update

That's actually a rule?

Yes, its in place to stop/minimize collusion/softplay.

Floorman: You can not check the nuts, ma'am. You must bet.

Lady: What's "bet?"

OzExorcist · Jul 6, 2009

Interesting to note that Day 1D is definitely sold out and they're actually turning people away - they're not accepting alternates or anything else.

With exceptions for guys like Patrik Antonius and Sully Erna from Godsmack, naturally.

Mase31683 · Jul 6, 2009

Congrats to Ivey for the early jump to 70k. Hyper-aggro with a stack is going to be a force to deal with. I'd like to see him go deep for sure.

Definitely sucks. Guess the cap was 3k.

vanquish · Jul 6, 2009

lol i don't get how sully erna gets so much face-time. like, who the f knows anything about godsmack or whatever they're called?

Emperor IX · Jul 6, 2009

He'll get some TV time this year. Didn't he cash the last three years? idk about 08 but I'm pretty sure it was 06/07 for back to back ME cashes.
