WSOP started yesterday with a $40K buy in NLHE event. Any predictions on how big the Main Event will be this year with the economy and all?


great sites for following poker...

Ivey gets his sixth bracelet - $2500 NL 2-7 Draw

http://www.pokernews.com/wsop/2009/event-8/

He won $3 mil on prop bets w/ that, and he said he's going to put it all back into prop bets into another bracelet (although I don't know if he'll get action again).

I was watching a stream of that on the net, and holy crap was the guy he was HU against a total douchebag. I hate dealer abuse, and that guy just insulted every single dealer for no reason.

where do you watch a stream of that? They are only televising 4 events i think which sucks. Just think if they decided not to film the HORSE $50k event last year? We would have missed out on Nguyen's aholeness.

Yes, I'd like to know also. I sat refreshing poker news last night for updates on Ivey's run.

I found the link off of twoplustwo.com forums, but I think it was Bluff Media that was providing it.

I just had a vision of AK in the pimp suit at the final table.

Its amazing how many times Daniel paid that guy off on the river out of curiousity, knowing he only had one pair.

DN one of 17 left in the $10K O8ob. 4 cash of the series.

fun final table to watch. especially at the end when DN was short stacked..
Looks like DN is going on a run again in the $3K HORSE. pretty sick run

If any of you play free poker in Denver (thepokertour.net)

Rico Ramirez in the owner of that tour and currently chip leader in even #28 with 10 left

[ak1971]

Ivey's making a serious run in the ME. 5th in chips with 58 left

[broncocalijohn]

I think he ended 4th with 27 left. This is amazing but I thought Dennis Phillips making it 45th when he was 3rd last year is amazing. His AK suited went up against AK spade suited and spades hit. Horrible way to end your tourney!

[ak1971]

If Ivey somehow wins the damn thing, I hear he has 2-3x the payout in side bets. ESPN is praying he makes the FT

[ak1971]

2009 November Nine:
Seat 1: Darvin Moon
Seat 2: James Akenhead
Seat 3: Phil Ivey
Seat 4: Kevin Schaffel
Seat 5: Steven Begleiter
Seat 6: Eric Buchman
Seat 7: Joe Cada
Seat 8: Antoine Saout
Seat 9: Happy Shulman

[broncocalijohn]

Never thought Shulman was good enough for this deep of a run but TV is going to love Ivey in the final 9. Amazing how good this guy is in the poker world. He gets a bracelet in 2 to 7 lowball when he barely plays it.

[ak1971]

Final table is Nov 7th...be interesting to see if Ivey can make a run. I hear he has over $20MM in side bets..amazing

Just curious what you mean by side bets? How so?

[ak1971]

I guess he has a bunch of bets with people to win the thing. I hear that Andy Bloch will owe him $2MM, Howard Lederer $5MM, Durr...$1MM. etc ...crazy crap. Ivey has some crazy gamble in him.

Howard Lederer said on Poker after Dark that he would pay $10MM for a 25% piece of Ivey's cash game winnings, which means Ivey must be raking in like $40MM in cash games a year. Hell he won $8MM on line last year.

[broncocalijohn]

Is the side bets if he wins it or top 3? he is one of the low chip stacks so amazing if he bet to win it all. The final table starts this Sunday and top 2 come back on Monday at 10PM PST (why so damn late?) to see who wins the 8 plus million. It will then be aired the next day. Nice of ESPN to give the editting crew hours to get it together if the heads up match takes forever.

I think its winning the thing..hopefully this years coverage is better. I just dont want to see the bust out hands...I think they only showed 2 hands of the heads up last year

Well that final table pretty sucked. Glad Moon didnt win though.

[broncocalijohn]

I would have loved to see that guy win. He stayed overly aggressive (which almost killed his chip stack) as he wanted everyone to know that he was still picking up cards. He was doing well heads up but his bluffs of all in would have worked with a less shove and saved some chips. I think Cada thought they were bluffs based on his all in shove. Last hand of QJ has to be folded once it was 4 betted. He has to know that he is a total dog in that situation even if it was a coin flip. Seems he got away from his confidence that he should have picked up while playing Cada. I wish Ivey made it #1 or at least top3. Even with a short stack, he would be dangerous in short handed play. Worse for him was folding the JJ and putting himself in a hole again. I liked to match up as it reminded me of Steve Dannemann vs Joe Hachem.

[broncocalijohn]

BTW, toughest part was not going on the internet to find out the results on Sunday and Monday. I didnt want to know until I saw it last night at 10PM.

[ak1971]

Ivey wins either one of those big hands...Cada 44 vs A8 or Moon AK vs AQ and I think he would have run real deep..3rd or better.

I went to Wendover a few times when I was in SLC. Cant remember much about it other than going like 120mph across the salt flats to get there.

Id probably go to Reno or something if I wasnt going to Vegas.
