  • WPT Festa Al Lago: Cole in Pole – Deeb Und Ferguson in Top 10
    WPT Festa al Lago: Cole in Pole – Deeb und Ferguson in Top 10 Von M. W. Im Rennen um die vier Millionen Dollar Preisgeld wird e simmer spannender. Corwin Cole holte sich die Pole-Position und ist mit knapp einer Million Chips Favorit auf den Titel, der mit 1.218.225 Dollar belohnt wird. Von den 96 Teilnehmern sind noch 37 im Turnier. Heute müssen noch zehn davon raus, damit sich die restlichen Spieler ein Preisgeld von mindestens 23.855 Dollar abholen können. Freddy Deeb und Chris Ferguson stiegen dank einer Sonderregelung erst am gestrigen zweiten Tag in die Veranstaltung ein und liegen bereits auf dem achten und zehnten Platz. Für Chris „Jesus“ Ferguson sah es kurz gar nicht gut aus, als er und sein Gegenüber auf dem Board von D710/9 All-In gingen. Es selbst hatte zwar die Dame zum High- Pair, doch auf der anderen Seite zeigte sich D/9 für zwei Paare. Ferguson muss allerdings einen Schutzengel gehabt haben, denn schon am Turn folgte der König. Der Gewinner der 2009 Legends of Poker Prahlad Friedman liegt mit 188.000 im hinteren Feld. Seine Ehefrau führt ihm derzeit vor, wie es besser ginge. Dee Luong (Bild) liegt nämlich mit 771.500 Chips auf dem ausgezeichneten vierten Platz und ist natürlich die beste Frau im Event. Für Tag 1-Chipleader Mike Matusow, Justin Bonomo, Jonathan Little, Scott Clements und Mike Leah ist die WPT Festa al Lago bereits gelaufen. Corwin Cole schmiss kurz vor Ende Bob Safai, der ein Paar Neuner hielt, hinaus. Cole callte mit A/J und sah am Flop eben diese zwei Karten in einer anderen Farbe auftauchen.

  • WSOP Tag 4: Affleck Voran – Hellmuth Draußen
    WSOP Tag 4: Affleck voran – Hellmuth draußen Michael Wulschnig Nach Tag 4 sind noch 407 Spieler im Rennen um den wichtigsten Preis des Jahres. Die Bubble platzte als Kia Hamadani seine letzten Chips als Blind in die Mitte schob und mit J/4 nichts mehr zu lachen hatte. Nachdem zuvor etwa eine Stunde „Hand for Hand Play“ betrieben wurde, blieb ihm als Trostpreis der Buy- In für den Main Event 2010. Die restlichen 648 Spieler waren somit in den Geldrängen. Auch für einige Poker-Pros ist die diesjährige World Series of Poker gestern zu Ende gegangen. Dazu gehören Greg Mueller, Chris Ferguson, Justin Bonomo und der Mann mit den meisten Bracelets Phil Hellmuth. Letzterer hatte besonders viel Pech, da er mit Pocket Assen All-In ging und gegen eine niedere Straße das Nachsehen hatte. Die Führung erspielte sich Matt Affleck. Er steht im Moment bei 1.819.000 Chips. Bertrand Grospellier, der am Vortag noch ganz oben stand, rutschte auf Rang 16 zurück und liegt damit unmittelbar hinter Phil Ivey. Die beiden besitzten rund 1.200.000 Chips. Den zweiten Rang konnte der Franzose Lacay Ludovic (1.600.000) erfolgreich verteidigen. An sensationeller achter Stelle ist der Österreicher Bernhard Perner mit über 1.400.000 Chips zu finden. Bester Deutscher ist derzeit Tim Kahlmayer, der mit 840.000 auf dem 56 Platz liegt. Unwesentlich weniger Chips hat Christian Heich, der genauso wie Nasr El Nasr noch Titelchancen hat. Für Hans Hein, Rainer Meyer, Alex Jalali, Benjamin Kang und Felix Osterland lebt die Chance ebenfalls weiter, auch wenn es für manche schon eines kleinen Wunders bedarf.
