466 Make Main Event Day 2A Cut WSOP 2008 Day 41: 466 make Main Event Day 2a cut There may have been 1,251 players coming into Day 2a of the 2008 World Series of Poker Main Event on Tuesday, but only 466 came out of it by the time the last hand was dealt for the day. By the end of the day, all eyes were on Brian Schaedlich, from Cleveland, Ohio, who was sitting with one of the most impressive chip leads for a player at the end of a Day 2 that the WSOP has seen in years. He ended the day with about USD 801,000 in chips, and his closest rival is sitting with just USD 397,000. Brandon Adams is sitting in a strong position as well after Day 2a with USD 353,600. The Full Tilt Poker pro had a good stack of more than USD 70k after his Day 1 and said he played a lot of smaller and mid-size pots on Day 2a to continue his climb. „Today I started out playing very fast but then treaded water for a while,“ Adams said in his interview with PokerListings. „I think I ended up the second level of the day with around USD 160,000. I just had a good level and got it all the way up to USD 207,000.“ As he continued to accumulate chips, Adams landed at the ESPN feature table as well, where he had to play under the watchful eyes of the cameras. Adams is a renowned cash-game player who has managed to keep a fairly low tournament profile so far, but his exposure in the Main Event if he goes deep could change all that. Some other pros who are sitting well with more than USD 100k after two days of play are Robert Mizrachi, Kido Pham, Alex Borteh, Tony Hachem, Chau Giang, Hoyt Corkins, Darrell Dicken, Erik Seidel, Dave Colclough, and 888-sponsored pro Shane Warne, who is heading up Pacific Poker’s online qualifiers. Maya Geller-Antonius has also moved her stack up to about USD 135,000 after Day 2, leaving her in much healthier shape to start Day 3 on Thursday than her husband Patrik Antonius, who just barely clings to life with USD 29,500 in chips after Day 2a. He’s not the only one from Day 2a looking a little low in chips. Tony Cousineau, Toto Leonidas and Alex Kravchenko are all under the USD 50,000 mark, while Chris Reslock, John Duthie, Barney Boatman and Mickey Appleman sit between there and the USD 100,000 mark. Unfortunately, the two former Main Event champions, Scotty Nguyen and Robert Varkonyi, who were playing in Day 2a were both eliminated. Nguyen, who is this year’s USD 50k H.O.R.S.E. champion, busted out about mid-afternoon when his pocket nines were topped by Alexandre Schwab’s pocket kings. Varkonyi didn’t last much longer than Nguyen, busting out a short time later. That leaves seven former Main Event champs who will be playing their second day today. They are Jerry Yang, Johnny Chan, Phil Hellmuth, Carlos Mortensen, Brad Daugherty, Chris Moneymaker and Joe Hachem. Some other notables who will play today from Day 1c are David Singer, Brad Booth, Evelyn Ng, Nenad Medic, Brian Townsend, Liz Lieu, Rolf Slotboom, Mike Matusow, Minh Nguyen, Bertrand Grospellier, Bill Chen, Matt Graham, Mike Binger, Eric Lynch, Clonie Gowen, Lacey Jones and Mel Judah. Some of the pros who survived Day 1d to return to play today are David Oppenheim, Gus Hansen, Cliff Josephy, Antonio Esfandiari, Brandon Cantu, Nam Le, Steve Billirakis, Jean- Robert Bellande, Jennifer Harman, Phil Gordon, Hevad Khan, Allen Cunningham, Men Nguyen, Scott Clements, Van Nguyen, Shannon Elizabeth, Nick Binger, Eric Mizrachi and Johan Storakers. Because more players showed up for Days 1c and 1d, there are 2,378 players returning to the felt today. Once they’ve finished play for the day, all the players will converge at the Rio on Thursday finally as one playing field for Day 3..

  • Hellmuth-Jelassi Skirmishes Add Spice to the World Series of Poker
    Hellmuth-Jelassi skirmishes add spice to the World Series of Poker Las Vegas – As the field of 2,378 players at Day 2B of the World Series of Poker Main Event dwindled to 855 Wednesday, players like Raja Kattamuri, Alexander Kostristyn and Victor Ramdin climbed their way up the leaderboard. But by the sheer force of their personalities, two players with fewer chips stole the show with a drama of their own. Phil Hellmuth, playing Phil Hellmuth, was the lead character. Ramzi Jelassi, the plucky poker player who wouldn’t back down, served as Hellmuth’s foil. And the rest of the players at the table had supporting roles. The fireworks began when Hellmuth, wearing a leather jacket over his UltimateBet „Poker Brat“ jersey and UltimateBet baseball hat, decided to push Las Vegas‘ Bobby Law all in with a sizable bet. „You think you’re just going to keep running over me?“ Hellmuth asked. Law, wearing a short-sleeved Green Bay Packers golf shirt, clearly had a good hand and didn’t know what to do. „You’ve got queens,“ Hellmuth said. „I know you’ve got queens.“ Then Hellmuth called for a clock and Law pushed back. „Everyone has been taking an hour to make a decision,“ Law said. Hellmuth quickly withdrew his request and started talking to his wife, seated at a podium immediately behind him. „Honey, honey, warm up the car,“ Hellmuth said, as Law continued to ponder his decision. Finally, Law mucked his hand, and Hellmuth revealed he’d bluffed Law out of the pot with a two and a four.

  • WSOP 2008: Wieder Deutsche Im Geld! Update (17:00 Uhr)
    WSOP 2008: Wieder Deutsche im Geld! Update (17:00 Uhr) Event #2: No Limit Hold’em USD 1.500 Auch am vierten Tag der 39. World Series Of Poker im Rio All- Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas war die Szenerie kaum überschaubar. Drei Events gleichzeitig zogen die Railbirds in ihren Bann, darunter die Rekordveranstaltung, das USD 1.500 No-Limit Hold’em, das mit exakt 3.929 Startern bestgebuchte Side-Event in der Geschichte der WSOP. 448 Spieler hatten die Tage 1A und 1B überstanden. darunter auch PokerStars.de ShootingStar Johannes Strassmann, der mit 32.400 in Chips in Tag zwei gestartet war. Für den letzten im Feld verbliebenen Deutschen lief es zunächst überaus verheißungsvoll: In Level 12 (Blinds 1.000/2.000, Ante: 300) fand Strassmann, der seinen Stack bis dahin kontinuierlich aufgebaut hatte, Q [key:card_diamonds] Q [key:card_hearts] und callte mit dieser Hand die All-ins von gleich zwei weiteren Spielern, die A [key:card_spades] K [key:card_hearts] beziehungsweise 8 [key:card_spades] 8 [key:card_clubs] umdrehten. Das Board lautete J [key:card_spades] J [key:card_clubs] 7 [key:card_diamonds] 3 [key:card_spades] 9 [key:card_spades]. Somit nahm Strassmann in dieser Situation gleich zwei Kontrahenten vom Tisch und verbesserte seinen Stack auf satte 215.000, was ihn im Leaderboard weit nach vorn katapultierte. Kurz vor dem Dinnerbreak fand er mit K J zwei Buben auf dem Board und stackte auf annähernd 300.000 auf. Doch eine gute Stunde später war es mit der großen Glückssträhne vorbei. Mit einer leider nicht dokumentierten Hand verlor er exakt 144.500 Chips und zählte plötzlich zu den Shortstacks.
