Maybe the very last hand of the day, they both called an all-in from someone which they had covered by $10. They lose the pot and day 4 is over.

A chip and a chair is all you need. These guys look poised to win it all.

I thought every player after bagging their chips was required to have Harrah's get a count on them before taking them off the table? Is there a penalty for not reporting or did Harrah's just botch it?

Player I'm most happy to see in the bottom 3rd of chips: Humberto (pleasegoawayandtakethesharkwithyoukthx)
Most common last name left: Tran (5 players)
Most famous non-pro left: Toby "I will be known as Spiderman the rest of my life" Maquire
Most like to either fire up or burn out this round: Gus Hansen
Most likely to trigger repressed "feelings" (and is already making 2+2ers question their sexual identity): Dario Minieri

Old School Table:

65 1 Theodore Park 408,000
65 2 Steven D'Argenio 111,000
65 3 Berry Johnston 203,000 (5 bracelets, 3 ME final tables, 1 world championship)
65 4 Richard Sun 83,000
65 5 Fernando Reyes 358,000
65 6 Hans "Tuna" Lund 68,000 (2 bracelets, 2 ME final tables)
65 7 Randal McLoughlin 405,000
65 8 Bill Baxter 105,000 (7 bracelets)
65 9 Bart Hanson 738,000

Berry Johnston was the third player at this table to win a WSOP bracelet and he won his first in 1983. It would be sweet if this was the feature table but I am sure it won't be.

Former world champ, two other semi-names who have had at least some TV time before. Probably not though, as Carlos already was on a featured table with Gus and Gavin Smith.

35 1 Jim Geary 131,000
35 2 Sorel Mizzi 603,000
35 3 Rchard Klein 104,000
35 4 Justin King 714,000
35 5 Zachary Clark 599,000
35 6 Markus Gongalves 373,000
35 7 David O'Neal 321,000
35 8 Salvatore Erna 135,000

Godsmack lead singer and Sorel Mizzi is quickly gaining attention. Very low chance since Erna is so short stacked though.

44 1 Christoph Stiehler 108,000
44 2 Jeff Diambrosia Allen 93,000
44 3 Humberto Brenes 210,000
44 4 Tim Begley 441,000
44 5 Jason Koshi 346,000
44 6 Justin Sadauskas 618,000
44 7 Sean Walter 133,000
44 8 Alan Keating 566,000
44 9 William Spadea 1,057,000

I don't think Humberto has been on the feature table yet? They love covering him and with him below average chip wise they might want to "get him in" now...high likelihood.

59 1 Jeff Banghart 789,000
59 2 Marco Mills 294,000
59 3 Matt Cohen 374,000
59 4 Daniel Alaei 299,000
59 5 Daniel Melan 263,000
59 6 Bryan Swanson 216,000
59 7 Paul Spitzberg 629,000
59 8 Esfandiar Dara 520,000
59 9 Scotty Nguyen 321,000

Former world champ, semi-name in Alaei, Banghart is getting some attention too. Slight possibility, though Nguyen was already at the feature table on day 2 I believe.

62 1 Philip Yeh 224,000
62 2 Sebastian Zink 397,000
62 3 Brett W. Kimes 591,000
62 4 Jim McCrink 265,000
62 5 Reagan Silber 514,000
62 6 Bill Edler 673,000
62 7 Robert Varkonyi 424,000
62 8 Hyon Kim 145,000
62 9 Jared Hamby 379,000

Former world champ, bracelet winner in Edler, young star in Hamby...slight possibility but low as Varkonyi isn't really a draw compared to Humberto, in ESPN's eyes.

78 1 David Tran 434,000
78 2 John Spaavecchia 402,000
78 3 Julian Gardner 471,000
78 4 Philip Hilm 597,000
78 5 Alan Levin 316,000
78 6 Al Riccobono 204,000
78 7 Dario Minieri 2,398,000
78 8 Deb Blair 371,000
78 9 Mitch Garshofsky 158,000

Monster chip leader's table can be fun to follow, slight possibility.

Semi-OT question: Does the ME FT really start at 3 EST on Tues.? Or is that just a ballpark figure? Seems lame to start the PPV so early in the day.

[/ QUOTE ]

Every day of the tournament starts at noon Vegas time, so 3pm EST. The final table can take a lonnnnnng time (it went well into the next day last year, ended sometime after sunrise in the EST time zone) so if they started later it could literally go far into the next morning.

So yes, 3PM.

[Austiger]

You don't have Tobey Maguire 131000 as a feature table possibility.

[peterpjames]

With his dislike of any media coverage and no other big names at the table I thought probably not...but yeah, very slight possibility. I think they want a more engaging personality though, and will do frequent "away from the main table" updates about the "celebrities" still in.

Of the chips left in play:

Light Orange 25K
Orange 5K
Yellow 1K

I think that's all that's left as the 500s just came off the table. Yes, the orange and light orange coloring is retarded. It's hard to see the difference.

In this picture we see the chip leader Dario Minieri.

The yellow chips are 1K chips, and the Orange are 5K chips. Today there will be the introduction of the 25K chips so they will be a different color (i hope) than last year b/c last year they were tangerine-ish.

Thanx, I'll take your word for it seeing as you're actually there.

BTW, in the Dario pic just above, you can see what looks like 5 orange chips arranged in a 2-2-1 pyramid to the left (his left, our right) of his giant pile. They look slightly lighter in color than the 5k chips though. Are these the 25ks? I noticed they don't seem to have the dark stripes that the 5ks have.

The yellow chips are 1K chips, and the Orange are 5K chips. Today there will be the introduction of the 25K chips so they will be a different color (i hope) than last year b/c last year they were tangerine-ish.

[/ QUOTE ]
The 25K chips are already in play, and yes they are some ridiculous tangerine/orange/whatever color. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanx, I'll take your word for it seeing as you're actually there.

BTW, in the Dario pic just above, you can see what looks like 5 orange chips arranged in a 2-2-1 pyramid to the left (his left, our right) of his giant pile. They look slightly lighter in color than the 5k chips though. Are these the 25ks? I noticed they don't seem to have the dark stripes that the 5ks have.

[/ QUOTE ]

yes. those are the 25k chips.

http://www.pokerlistings.com/photos/large/james-mackey/james-mackey-8599.jpg

this picture shows the difference between the two. 5k chips on bottom. 25k's on top. I mean, i see that you can tell the difference, but why have consecutive chip denoms BOTH be orange? there are like, many many other colors to choose from.

also, petri is getting like no love whatsoever from you people, whats the deal?

This is an OK series of books, this one (really, two books, see later) is not very good. Two huge problems - first, it would have been nice if the author had consulted with someone, anyone, who had played even one hand of hold'em. Second, this is one story broken into two books and you don't find this out until you get near the end of book one and start wondering how he's going to tie everything together in 30 pages. Oops . . . to be continued. There's no indication at all on the first book that this is only half of a story. Kind of fun in parts but not very good, overall.

Josh Evans Eliminates Steve Miranda

The very short-stacked Miranda moved all-in with 9-10 and was called by Josh Evans with pocket Jacks. The flop was unnecessarily cruel--J-9-10. The 10 on the turn gave both players a full house but when the case Ten didn't hit on the river Miranda was eliminated.

Carl Olsen Is Eliminated by J. Franklin Benjamin

Olsen moved in from late position with {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and Benjamin called in the small blind with pocket Sevens. The {8-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop didn't help Olsen much but the {Q-Diamonds} on the turn opened up flush and straight possibilities. The {2-Spades} on the river, however, missed Olsen and his Main Event came to an end.

How many out was that after the turn? 22?

I also wonder how much people started to become pre-occupied with their stack size relative to the table average/leaders rather than the blinds.

I also wonder how much people started to become pre-occupied with their stack size relative to the table average/leaders rather than the blinds.

It's like they're seeing everyone accumulate chips as people get knocked out and they forget that they don't have to push 30BB UTG with 22.


[/ QUOTE ]

this is an excellent point. its so easy to do this, especially since players are not used to such deep tourneys, at this stage in a regular tourney they have to make a ton of moves.

i would wake up every morning and say to myself, remember, its a marathon not a sprint because i would feel myself wanting to do the same.

Bob Slezak Doubles Up through Sam Padgett

Bob Slezak pushed all-in from late position and Sam Padgett called from the big blind. Slezak had {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}, Padgett had {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and the board came {Q-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{4-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}. Slezak won the pot with two pair and doubled.

Hang in there, Sam!

At this rate, Day 4 will only last 5 hours or so.

David O'Neal Is Eliminated By Justin King

Before the flop O'Neal raised to 24,000 and King called in the small blind. They checked the {A-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop and the {7-Spades} on the turn, but when the {J-Spades} hit on the river and King again checked, O'Neal moved all-in 260,000.

It was a huge overbet (there was only about 60K in the pot) and King asked, "Why would you bet so much?" O'Neal didn't reply at first, but as King thought over the situation and asked the same question again O'Neal just shrugged. King announced his call and turned over {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}, which beat O'Neal's pocket Queens. He was eliminated and King is now up to 1,080,000.

This is what happens when they try to play after the flop.

[Nairb]

Looks like Gus lost more than 1/3 of his stack. He was at 1.6 mil and now at barely over 1 mil.

Good news: Slezak is reported to have only 320K chips.

Bad news: it's not clear if this was before or after the above hand.

Neutral news: there hasn't been a single update on Sam's chip count.

[PoppaTMan]

Has anyone played with Tobey Maguire? He got pretty damn deep this year, even after running KK into AA at least twice. Anyone that can comment on his game?

[Dunkman]

Well, you'd think he wouldn't open shoves 40 BBs with AA in LP, but you never know today I guess.

Isaac Haxton Wins A Huge Pot
With nearly a half million in the pot already and the board reading 96A89 Haxton made a 250,000 bet and Robin Bergren called. He turned over KK which was 2nd best to Haxton's A2 . That pot pushed Haxton up to 1,400,000.

wow that was one of the worst played hands i've seen yet today
...what makes someone who has invested so much time and money into this event decide that this is a good play?
i hope he never forgives himself and has nigtmares about that play for the rest of his life
...and to think what someone else (me, you, jesus, etc) would have done in that situation and how nice it would be to still have a shot this deep in the tourney...
...clearly im disgusted

He has some game. Very tight preflop but aggressive when he plays and capable of the odd big move. Very composed all the time and thinking player.

From what I've heard...here...and there..I think....

Tobey hosts big home games with big names and paid pro players to personally train him.


So go him.

Pat Atchison Eliminated by Sam Padgett

Sam Padgett limps from the small blind for 8,000, and Pat Atchison checks his option in the big blind. The flop comes {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, Padgett bets 25,000, Atchison moves all in for about 100,000, and Padgett calls with {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for an overpair. Atchison shows {K-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for an open-ended straight draw, and he'll need to improve to stay alive.

The last two cards are {7-Spades}{10-Spades}, and Padgett's pocket nines hold up to win the pot.

Pat Atchison is eliminated from the Main Event.

Still no update on his stack size.

I can only assume Ike was trying to bluff him off an A then he called with KK, maybe got a read that Ike was bluffing because he was...I really have no idea how that much money gets in with those hands.
