KD in CA Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I just found out that I know the guy who is leading today's event (#7). $600k for first place if he hangs on....not bad! I've thought it would be fun to enter one of those. If you plan on gambling anyway, why not drop $1000 on one of these tournaments and take a shot? As popular is it is now, these preliminary tourneys are bigger than the main event was just a few years ago. http://www.pokerlistings.com/world-series-of-poker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me, I prefer to keep my money. Don't get me wrong. I love playing hold'em. I just can't see dropping a grand on one tourney. Not yet anyway.

BF_in_Indiana Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 1 Chuck Thompson (Santa Cruz, CA, USA) Going to final table with 549,000 chips in seat 8 2 C T Law (United Kingdom) Going to final table with 516,000 chips in seat 4 3 David Pham (Cerritos, CA, USA) Going to final table with 323,000 chips in seat 1 4 Shae Drobashevich (Moline, IL, USA) Going to final table with 248,000 chips in seat 2 5 Pascal Perrault (Paris, France) Going to final table with 225,000 chips in seat 7 6 Mike Gracz (Poland) Going to final table with 173,000 chips in seat 5 7 Shane Schleger (New York, NY, USA) Going to final table with 134,000 chips in seat 6 8 Phil Gordon (South Lake Tahoe, CA, USA) Going to final table with 91,000 chips in seat 3 9 Meng La (Torrence, CA, USA) Going to final table with 71,000 chips in seat 9 KD I'm gonna assume the guy you know is Shane Schleger? He's in a tough seat with only 134,000 in chips. The big stack at the table is behind him and if Meng La doubles up he also will act behind him most of the day. David Pham is there as well as Phil Gordon. I'm pulling for Phil Gordon or your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pulling for Phil Gordon or your friend. 354962[/snapback] Correct. Apparently he took a couple of beats and fell back. My friend who works with him (well, he doesn't really work any more except for playing poker) almost flew out to Vegas to watch the final table but he told her not to since he's short stacked now and could be out early. Still, nice to clear a minimum of $50k. That'll more than pay for his entry into the rest of the tournaments and his expenses for the month.

Not bad for 3 days work. 6:02 PM Pham's button. Schleger opens for $36,000, Gracz calls from the big blind. The flop comes 8h 7c 3s 7d. Both players check. The turn is the 7d. Gracz checks, and Schleger moves all in. Gracz thinks for a while, and calls. Schleger shows Ks Js, Gracz shows Ad 10h. Gracz makes the call with ace high, and he's correct! Schleger needs a king or jack on the river. The 10c hits, and Schleger is eliminated in 5th, earning $132,110. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BF_in_Indiana Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Eric Seidel won his 7th bracelet last night. The final three at that table in event number 9 were Seidel, Cindy Violette, and Perry Friedman, all well respected pros with Seidel being the most recognized.
