WSOP Pool 2009

[Lathum]

Negreanu is lookinf like a solid MM pick. Ivey also going deep again

[hoopsguy]

Ivey is deep, but is really short stacked with 20 to play. He likely does not even have enough chips for one full orbit (depending on where blinds start today).

Negreanu is 2nd in chips with 11 left - really wishing I had him on my roster right about now.

[ntndeacon]

really need Men the Master and Michael Binger to step it up

[Lathum]

quick double up for Ivey

[Lathum]

and Ivey is out in 18th

[hoopsguy]

Negreanu wins a 550K pot without a showdown, now has nearly 50% of the chips at the table and twice that of his nearest competitor.

[Lathum]

Hoops, what site are you following from. the WSOP site just reported that hand

[MJ4H]

Live video stream: World Series of Poker

I actually sort of know Tommi Horkko.

[Lathum]

nice find!!

[hoopsguy]

Lathum, I've been watching off of the bluffmagazine.com site.

[MJ4H]

It's the same stream, but this one you can open in any media player.

[Lathum]

I thought they weren't broadcasting any events today. Is this a special add on because of Negranue?

[MJ4H]

Yep.

[Lathum]

2nd place for Negruanu. Still a nice score for those who have him

[MJ4H]

Must've been brutal there for him because he was steadily building a big chiplead and his whole stack disappeared in about 15 minutes.

[larrymcg421]

On top of that, he lost $200k when Ivey won a bracelet.

[hoopsguy]

Anyone know if Durr is playing events this year? I have not been seeing much of him in the updates.

he played the 40k event early on and busted on day 1 I tihnk, I have not seen anything since(but have not followed closely either)

[Comey]

A whole host of pros are doing well in the PLO8...Hellmuth 3rd, Ivey 6th lead the way for now with 105 left.

[ntndeacon]

hoops I think you missed one. Michael Binger won $21,357 coming in 16th in event 12.

[hoopsguy]

Thanks, NTN. I'm sure I'll miss them here (for those who haven't seen, I'm posting cashes near bottom of first page) so please call them out if I don't have guys listed that should be.

Hopefully this makes it easier for Larry when he has time to post standings.

[Lathum]

Great final table in the Omaha 8 10K event.

[MJ4H]

WMP link to watch it coming up in about 5-10 mins:

WSOP2009 brought to you by PKR.com

Event 20 will be bery bery good to me with both Liebert and Seidel cashing. With The Master finally cashing All i need is for Ferguson, Madsen, and Scotty Nguyen to get off the snide. I hope Mike Patrick cashes today too. but that is cuz it is fun to see celebreties do well.

Durrrr busto early in the 10K 2-7 draw event. After reviewing my picks, I think it is pretty clear that they suck so far.

[hoopsguy]

Binger out 8th, Juanda and Benyamine still in the hunt for 10K 2-7 draw title.

[larrymcg421]

Updated scores in 1st post.

[ntndeacon]

Tran started out so strong but hasn'tt gotten close since! Though it looks like Event 26 just hit the money and greenstein got in to the money again. Hopefully he will get 5 digits at least

[hoopsguy]

Ivey is in final 3 players, along with Carlos Mortenson (pretty sure no one has him) in Event 25.

[larrymcg421]

Ivey looking really good right now.

[larrymcg421]

Ivey now heads up against Ming Lee and has a 3.5:1 chip edge.

Amazing stuff. Seems like a good guy.

[ntndeacon]

hoops. Madsen and Negraneu cashed in Event 47...like 4 k and 5k respectively

[ntndeacon]

and FInally all of my guys have cashed!

[Lathum]

50K HORSE is underway

[Lathum]

dola- only 73 entrants, about half of last year

[Lathum]

I like this

After a bit of an extended break with a stop for the 2 p.m. bracelet ceremony (where $10K Pot-Limit Hold'em bracelet winner John Kabbaj had the Sex Pistols' version of "God Save the Queen" played"), the cards are back in the air.

I'm jealous, considering I have guys who have not played a single tournament this WSOP.

[larrymcg421]

Scoreboard update in the first post.

Ended up at 95, but definitely a few names not in that were surprising to me. Per Pokernews:

Notable Absences

We've told you who's here. Then we got curious about who decided to skip this year's $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. event and found ourselves scribbling down three entire pages of names. Here's a look at a few of the pros who did not buy in to this event:

Michael DeMichele (2008 Runner-Up), Lyle Berman (2008 5th Place), James Mackey (2008 Day 1 chip leader), Phil Hellmuth, T.J. Cloutier, Chris Reslock, Tad Jurgens, Mark Gregorich, Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond, Tom "durrrr" Dwan, Minh Ly, Rafi Amit, John D'Agostino, Mike Sexton, Katja Thater, Layne Flack, Brian "tsarrast" Rast, Dario Minieri, Tom Schneider, Michael Binger, Dan Harmetz, Brandon Adams, Keith Sexton, George Lind III, Robert Mizrachi, Michael Mizrachi, Lee Markholt, Kirill Gerasimov, Ram Vaswani, Hoyt Corkins, Dewey Tomko, Toto Leonidas, Phillipe Rouas, Amnon Filippi, David Williams, Isabelle Mercier, Raymond Davis (2008 10th Place), Ted Forrest, Kenny Tran, Tim Phan, Billy "The Croc" Argyros, Allen Cunningham, Marcel Luske, Shawn Sheikhan, Mickey Appleman, Robert Williamson III, Jan Von Halle and Markus Golser.

[Lathum]

thats a nice find Hoops.

If I ran a major online site I would be pissed as hell if my guys weren't in there. I am amazed Durr and Cunningham aren't in. Hellmuth doesn't surprise me, he really isn't great at other games.

[hoopsguy]

Hellmuth is in the money in another tournament at the moment, so he does have other things on his plate. If he was planning to make a deep run in that one then it is kind of hard to pony up 50K to get blinded off against a really tough field when he would be giving up an edge in the other games.

[hoopsguy]

Also, Cunningham's reward for skipping 50K HORSE to play in 1,500 Limit Shoot-out? Table with Shaun Deep, Jimmy Fricke, and Alan Goehring. Maybe not quite as tough as you would see in the 50K, but that sounds like a load for a 1,500 tourney with 600+ entries and missing 80 or so tough players due to the HORSE event.
