Phil Ivey has been eliminated.

Ivey had QQ against KK all-in preflop.... Q hits the turn, then a K hits the river.

 

[Hordling]

Just Checked Paul hoppe's tweet's.

He's over 100k atm. very cool.

Wow... on Ivey's hand. Talk about highs and lows in a single hand.

The best part would be Phil Hellmouth explainin how he were still the best ever.

Following also - but can't find his name on the chip counts listing.

Lol at 4bet shoves with those stack sizes

With stacks that deep, the huge overshove (4bet ai).. might be for deception.

Tony Korfman.... you mean 'Big Tony'? Tony sent me an autographed copy of his book (i forget the name of it now... somethin about farts & poker... or poker & farting.... whatever).
I see he's taken a 2nd before in wsop event for $200K +

GL Tony!!
(he also sent a microstakes player/buddy of mine a few bucks on Fulltilt before... I think it was $100. Not from railing.. just for the hell of it. Very cool!).

I found a YouTube interview with only_bridge after the end of Day 1 of the MainEvent. No clue how he's doing now with Day2. Any updates anybody?

Here's the link to the YouTube interview
YouTube- Jonatan Westerberg, aka only_bridge, at the 2010 WSOP

 

[Poker Orifice]

Too bad about the dorky shirt he's got on.... sigh...

GL Bridge!!!!

 

[LarkMarlow]

Oh wow. My paternal grandparents were from Sweden and hearing only-bridge talk made me homesick for them: that charming lilt; yaaa for yes.

I can just hear my grandma calling him "Yon" if she were alive, because J's are pronounced like Y's in Swedish.

Best of luck, Jon!

 

[Poker Orifice]

Thanks for the sweat guys. My Day 2 is Saturday, which will probably be really big since Day 1D is always the largest. At least I get to start in the Amazon room this time. I'll be updating my Twitter every time something interesting happens.

Looks like you're sitting with ~150bb's? Very nice!! GL Paul!!!! keep us posted when you get a chance.

Yeah, I'm now "down" to 96 bbs - 96k at 500/1000 blinds and 100 antes. I get to meet lots of cool people today, then play Day 3 on Monday.

At the end of day 2A my informal coach and friend, Frank Jordan sits at #144 with 156,500 in chips. JORDAN FTW!

 

[LarkMarlow]

NOLA that's wonderful! How great would that be if he made the FT and you got to watch him on TV?! Better yet, maybe he'd fly you out to Vegas to be part of his cheering section . Ah, yes, WSOP dreams...

When does he play next? Keep us up to date on his progress!

 

[arahel_jazz]

Day 3 has begun.
