Re: WSOP Main Event

Turning the Tables Andrew Barnes raised to 25,000 from middle position and Ron Kluber moved all-in for 506,000 from the small blind. Barnes called and showed KK, Kluber had A-K and looked to be in serious danger of elimination. Until the 4-A-3 flop, that is. Barnes didn't catch a King on the turn or river and the Ace Kluber flopped not only reversed the advantage in the hand, it also reversed their chip counts. Kluber now sits with 1.1 million while Barnes is down to 420,000.

maybe its me but why are they playing like magyars? blinds are 5K/10K and he shoves for 1/2 mill - why? why shove when you have 50BB?? why not pop it to between 80-120K? They are 2 hour levels, why increase your volitility by shoving when a smaller raise or even call with position to play a stop n go might be a better play? just mad IMHO Damo

[robilaruk]

Re: WSOP Main Event magyars again? this is why I will never play at the WSOP - I would never make the shove with the KQ - I might call with the 89 for the str/flush/st flush Damo

Re: WSOP Main Event 13 minutes ago The Cost Per Round In Dan Harrington's book "Harrington on Hold'em" he introduces readers to the concept of "M," which is just a fancy way of referring to what it costs a player in blinds and antes to play one orbit in a tournament. At the current blind level, 12,000-24,000 with a 3,000 ante, it costs players 63,000 just to play one round. With the current average stack of 1,428,700, the average chip stack's "M" is 22.67 (meaning, they could fold every hand for 22 2/3 orbits before going broke). According to Harrington, an "M" of 5 is considered a short stack while an "M" of 30 or more is a very comfortable stack to play with.

Re: WSOP Main Event This is the guy who's chip leader :ok 2 minutes ago Player Profile: Dag Martin Mikkelsen Dag Martin Mikkelsen ended Day 4 of the WSOP as the chipleader. He's not well-known in America, but if you play online, you might have come across "dmmikkel." He frequently can be found playing cash games or SNGs on PokerStars. Mikkelsen doesn't have too much live experience since he's just 21 years old. He has played a few events on the EPT, but this is the first year he's playing in the WSOP. Originally from Stavanger, Norway, he started out as an online sports bettor gambling on soccer matches. One site that he wagered on offered micro-limit poker and that's where Dag Martin Mikkelsen got his start. He switched sites and quickly jumped up in levels. He's been playing $500 and $1,000 SNGs. He's also made two final tables at the PokerStars Sunday Million. In a previous interview, Mikkelsen said his favorite player was Phil Ivey. When asked about five words to describe himself, he mentioned... arrogant, aggressive, calm, confident, and paranoid.

Re: WSOP Main Event You mean legitimately?

Re: WSOP Main Event Less than 90 left.... 3 minutes ago A Good Time For Aces Pocket Aces are always welcome, but especially so when you've lost a few big hands and are badly short-stacked. Gus Hansen just looked down at bullets and moved in the last of his 389,000. Ryan Elson called with and, after the flop and on the turn, he picked up a flush draw. Elson was bouncing up and down by the table calling "One more club!", and on the river...the .

Re: WSOP Main Event

1 minutes ago Players Take a 20-Minute Break

2 minutes ago Aces Giveth, and Aces Taketh Away After doubling up with pocket Aces a bit earlier in the day Gus Hansen just lost half his stack after he ran up against them. He raised to 74,000 and Allan King moved all-in for 500,000. King was just moved to the table and Hansen said, "I have absolutely no idea what you have." He thought it over a bit more and said, "This is a big chunk of my money..I won a big pot with this hand...I call." His pocket Tens trailed badly and the board gave the 1.2 million pot to King, while Gus was left with just 420,000.

Re: WSOP Main Event Does anyone know if there are any other UK Players left except Willie Tann and Julian Gardner ?? - I don't recognise any others :unsure (but then again if I was in the last 80 then nobody would recognise my name either - at least not until I went back to defend the title:) )

Re: WSOP Main Event Hevad Khan Eliminates Humberto Brenes After Brenes raised to 85,000 from middle position Hevad "Rain" Khan re-raised from the big blind to 205,000. And as he always does in these situations Brenes got up from his chair and, with a great flourish, announced "All-In!" And Khan instantly called. Yes, the Shark's had run into pocket Aces. A huge roar rose from the crowd as the flop was dealt and spectators watching at the outer tables rushed over to the ESPN Feature Table to watch the action on the TV screens. The paired Humberto but gave Khan the nut flush draw, and after the hit on the turn Brenes needed a King to stay alive.

Re: WSOP Main Event No 'runaway train' seemingly emerging like when Greg Raymer and Jamie Gold won in their years. Yet. It could be a fairly lively betting heat (come on bookies! Pull your fingers out! You were so much better last year!). Lee Watkinson's poker credibility is probably going to up a fair bit if he makes the final table. Scotty Nguyen's reputation is probably gonna skyrocket if he does. Alex Kravchenko and Bill Edler are two bracelet winners from this year still remaining. Either of them could put a tick box on a list of achievements if they made the final table to have a fairly remarkable year so far. Maria Ho's rep is probably whatever happens after this is going to be a lot kinder than say oooh, Tiffany 'Crazy Bitch' Williamson. I hope Maria doesn't go down the Liz Lieu route of promoting herself.
