WSOP Main Event Discussion Thread (***Contains Spoilers***)

Here's something amazing - My favorite ESPN Poker dude Bernard Lee is still in it with around 140K!

Paul's hanging in with 65K... barely... nearly 10bb.

Now at 774. Bubble before dinner break??? Doubt it.

 

[Mortis]

Dinner break.. 751 left.

 

[NOLA Red]

Frank Jordan was up to as much as 750k earlier, but has had a small downswing and is at 510k at the dinner break.

Still can't figure out why they keep calling him 'Jimmy'....

 

[BrentD22]

KK's beat AA's all the time on suckouts. No big deal.

But when the BOTH hit a set and KK's sucks out on the river with the case K? SOOOOOO SICKKKKKKK!!!!!!!

Poor Brandon!

HUH? Ya it happens 19% of the time... 19%<all the time

 

[BrentD22]

Wow. The Hellmuth entrance. I don't even get the point anymore. So terrible. http://www.rawvegas.tv/watch/phil-h...-the-2010-wsop/2225baca39a0dec23456b3b1785bc8

WTF I umm I feel somewhat ashamed to also be a poker player. It's like being a preist that doesn't molest kids or a dentist that doesn't rape their patients, you just feel ashamed.

 

[HillmanB]

They are now in the money!

 

[NOLA Red]

YESSSS!!!! Frank has made the money! That's just freakin' awesome.
:congrats: :congrats: :congrats: :congrats: :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:

 

[NOLA Red]

uh oh...not looking good for Frank Jordan. His last tweet:

"Crippled...."


But he did cash, so all's not lost!

 

[OzExorcist]

Apparently all four Mizrachi brothers cashed, setting some new kind of obscure-and-probably-hard-to-beat record.

We need to send him Jack Strauss vibes...a chip and a chair...a chip and a chair. It's only over when it's over. I have a feeling he'll regroup and start grinding back. Let's hope so .

 

[Poker Orifice]

Tony Dunst (Bond18) is sitting in 2nd place at the moment. He's been up near the top for awhile now... wtg Tony!!!
I've benefitted a bunch from watching Tony's vids., reading most of his strategy articles & have railed him a bunch of times on Fulltilt (1 of a half-dozen mtt players I rail on occassion). Would be cool to see him go deep in this.

 

[Poker Orifice]

Paul is out in 651st. WTG Paul!
Did the guy actually go out with 1 to go til' the bubble... with AA on your table? That would be soul crushing for me.

 

[NOLA Red]

Frank managed to start a comeback...up to 142k at end of day.

I was at Eric Mizrachi's table all day - the cameras were swarming around us.

With 749 players remaining (747 get paid), UTG opened for 15k, MP PStars Pro shoved fro $140k, folds to UTG who tanks and calls with JJ. Flop: J55 and MP's AA no good. He busts in 749th place, which is the true bubble, since 748th place wins a free 2011 wsop main event entry.

OUCH

 

[bazerk]

:icon_thum Congrats & WTG on ITM Paul -- GG!!

That darn Eric Mizrachi, most of the Series I've had him in my FTPFL & he spent most of the time hanging out @ Wet Republic...so I removed him for the ME...sheesh.

 

[Tangerine 53]

For some reason the WSOP site is showing Paul as busting out in 748th - i.e. bubble boy!

Though tbh I'm not sure how relaible the site is to be truthful....

 

[NOLA Red]

The site is not all that reliable, at least not while play is on. AFAIK their counts are correct to start the day.

Frank Jordan (at least they got his name right this time) is sitting at #474 with 142k. Quite the change from yesterday, but considering he was down to 18.3k 1 hour before the end of the day yesterday, quite a nice little comeback. Let's hope it can continue today.

I have faith...a lot of faith.

 

[Mortis]

Nice job, Paul! Doubling your money isn't so bad.

Looking at my recently acquired stack of bills, I can say it's not that reliable. Thank goodness!

Can someone fix my post above so it doesn't butcher Eric's name? I tried to edit last night, but my internet is crap at the Rio. I miss Vdara.

 

[Pokerstudent]

HUH? Ya it happens 19% of the time... 19%<all the time

Of course you are right, but tell that to the guys who's aces get sucked out on! lol

 

[NOLA Red]

Frank (Jimmy) Jordan out at #461. A great run, and he'll be back at it next year.
:congrats: :congrats: :congrats:

 

[xXSmuggla]

Congrats Paul on ITM, good to see a CCer make a splash at the ME.

 

[Trimming1]

rich idiot
