Ian Munns Als Chipleader – Naujoks Und Golser Ausgeschieden WSOPE Main Event, Tag 2: Ian Munns als Chipleader – Naujoks und Golser ausgeschieden Von Lilly Wolf Gestern ging in London Tag 2 des Main Events der von Betfair gesponserten World Series of Poker Europe über die Bühne. Mit dabei Daniel Negreanu, Markus Golser, Sandra Naujoks, Tobias Reinkemeier, Doyle Brunson, Liz Lieu, Jason Mercier, Antonio Esfandiari, John Tabatabai, Annette Obrestad, Phil Hellmuth und Freddy Deeb. Für Scott Montgomery war dieser Turniertag ein kurzer, als er mit dem Paar Siebener gegen Jussi Nevanlinna ausschied: Montgomery: 7 [key:card_spades] 7 [key:card_hearts] Jussi Nevanlinna: A [key:card_diamonds] K [key:card_spades] Board: K [key:card_diamonds] 3 [key:card_hearts] 5 [key:card_spades] 6 [key:card_hearts] Q [key:card_clubs] Antonio Esfandiari der preflop mit Q-J geraist hatte, setzte am Flop mit Q-10-8 und checkte am Turn mit 10. Phil Hellmuth check-callte und pushte am River mit noch einer Zehn All-In. Seine Acht war nicht genug und Hellmuth schied aus. Esfandiari, der sich mit Hellmuth viel Trash Talk am Tisch geliefert hatte, rief ihm nach: „ Ich liebe dich immer noch Phil!“ Sandra Naujoks musste sich am Tag 2 der WSOPE geschlagen geben. Sie setzte ihre letzten Chips auf 7 [key:card_spades] 7 [key:card_diamonds] und wurde von Jussi Nevanlinna mit K [key:card_hearts] K [key:card_clubs] gecallt. Das Board brachte mit 6 [key:card_diamonds] 6 [key:card_spades] 3 [key:card_hearts] 2 [key:card_spades] A [key:card_spades] das Aus für die EPT Gewinnerin. Auch Österreichs Hoffnung Markus Golser folgte seiner deutschen Poker Kollegin kurze Zeit später. 92 Spieler werden heute in den Tag 3 der WSOPE starten. Darunter Ian Munns als Chipleader mit 528.300 an Chips, gefolgt von Praz Bansi (299.000) und Oyvind Riisem (255.300). Gut im Rennen liegen auch Doyle Brunson, Ram Vaswani und Jason Mercier. Die deutschen Pokerfans dürfen noch weiter Daumen drücken, denn Tobias Reinkemeier und Daniel Drescher werden ebenfalls in den dritten Main Event Tag starten. Top Ten Chipcounts nach Tag 2: Ian Munns, 528300 Praz Bansi, 299000 Oyvind Riisem, 255300 Amnon Filippi, 216500 David Docherty, 216200 Doyle Brunson, 210900 Sandor Demjan, 209000 Markus Ristola, 205000 Ram Vaswani, 202500 Jason Mercier, 202300.

  • 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 2008: Zusammenfassung Der Events #36 Bis #38
    WSOP 2008: Zusammenfassung der Events #36 bis #38 Event #36: USD 1.500 No-Limit Hold’em, Tag zwei Beim mittlerweile vierten USD 1.500-No-Limit-Hold’em-Event waren die 187 Spieler für Tag zwei bereits im Geld und diesmal waren auch noch ein paar bekanntere Namen vertreten, wie beispielsweise Team-PokerStars-Pro Luca Pagano, Freddy Deeb, Aaron Kanter, Danny Wong, Isaac Haxton oder Dag Martin Mikkelsen. Ganz nach vorn reichte es für die meisten von ihnen allerdings nicht. Luca Pagano schied auf Platz 149 aus, Mikkelsen wurde 138. (beide kassierten USD 3.340), Freddy Deeb 80. (USD 6.012) und Isaac Haxton erwischte es auf Rang 66 (USD 7.014). Kanter und Wong werden wir dagegen am Final Table wiedersehen. 2005 bekam Aaron Kanter den Spitznamen „The Big Killer“ verpasst. Er spielte damals einen sensationellen Main Event und bugsierte unter anderem Titelverteidiger Greg Raymer sowie Phil Ivey aus dem Turnier. Damals hatte er sich online qualifiziert, belegte schließlich den vierten Platz und kassierte USD 2.000.000 Preisgeld. Zwar spielte er auch danach immer wieder Liveturniere, sein Geld verdient er allerdings weiter beim Onlinepoker. Am Freitag machte er jetzt aber wieder bei der WSOP auf sich aufmerksam und hat den Sprung an den Finaltisch beim USD 1.500 No-Limit Hold’em geschafft. Mit 200.000 in Chips ist er allerdings der Shortstack und hat zudem harte Konkurrenz. Danny Wong aus Los Angeles zum Beispiel, der in seiner noch jungen Karriere schon fast zwei Millionen an Preisgeldern abgeräumt hat. Darunter ein zweiter Platz beim Main Event des Bellagio Cup II im Jahr 2006 für USD 561.115 sowie Siege beim Five Diamond World Poker Classic und bei der Turnierserie Legends of Poker 2007.

    Stat 100a: Introduction to Probability. Outline for the day: 1. Hand in HW1. See hw2. 2. All in with 55. 3. Expected value and pot odds. 4. Pot odds example, Elezra and Violette. 5. P(flop 4 of a kind). 6. Variance and SD. 7. Markov and Chebyshev inequalities. 8. Luck and skill in poker. 9. Lederer and Minieri. I will assign you to teams on Tuesday. ♠ ♣ ♥ ♦ 1. Hand in HW1. 2. All in with 55? a) You have $100 and 55 and are up against A9. You are 56% to win, so your expected value is $112. b) You have $100 and 55 and are up against A9, KJ, and QJs. Seems pretty terrible, doesn't it? But you have a probability of 27.3% to quadruple, so your expected value is 0.273 x $400 = $109. About the same as #1! [ For these probabilities, see the online Texas Holdem odds calculator at http://www.cardplayer.com .] 2. Expected value and pot odds. Suppose someone bets (or raises) you, going all-in. What should your chances of winning be in order for you to correctly call? Let B = the amount bet to you, i.e. the additional amount you'd need to put in if you want to call. So, if you bet 100 & your opponent with 800 left went all-in, B = 700. Let POT = the amount in the pot right now (including your opponent's bet). Let p = your probability of winning the hand if you call. So prob. of losing = 1-p. Let CHIPS = the number of chips you have right now.
