According to Gutshot.com:

Whilst Bart Hanson is eliminated when his pair of Eights are busted by his opponent's Aces, Ryan Elson has built himself up to almost $2 million in chips.

Nice run Bart. You had a good series this year.

Also I just now realized J_V is still in it with 1.1mil. I didn't see his name in any threads about the WSOP, but I kept seeing a J_V lookalike from what I remember of the pictures of him and almost said something to him during one of the breaks. I want to see him FT and then take his 2k-4k shot against Phil Ivey.

There are many, many "random dudes" who are better than a whole bunch of various luckbox "TV Pros". I do see your point, though, that it kinda sucks to have a strong unknown at your table.

I awaken to a very sad "discovery" that Bart Hanson is out??? What a punch in the gut, not even a mention in the updates.

If it's true, FANTASTIC performance for you buddy. 2 final tables and a deep run into the ME you should be very VERY proud. Big-ups. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[pegboy]

For you Canucks following the action I see that Cory Carrol is from Halifax. He's at table 14 with 1.4 million chips. Anybody know of this guy?

[Ship Ship McGipp]

Humberto sucks so bad. He's so terrible. He busted someone I know on day 1, said he was just awful and nitty, he'd raise, fold to a three bet, and stare his opponents down. The fact he plays terrible, plays up to the camera, and slowrolls people makes me very angry. I hope he loses quickly.

Anyways, I'm pulling for Alaei, Brandon Adams, and Scotty Nguyen babaay.

[ajmargarine]

Go Huck. Go Gus.

Boooooooo Humberto. What a disaster if he wins.

[eso]

alaei, hansen, "ike", brandon adams, huck seed, gardner, scotty nguyen.
Any of them to win please

Instantly throwing the full power of my bandwagon now that I realize that J_V is in. J_V rules.

3.Kirk Morrison
4.Lee Watkinson
5.Scotty Nguyen
6.Brandon Adams
7.Diego Cordovez
8.Bill Edler

So This Is How It's Gonna Be

Huck Seed is sitting in the 8-seat and Dario Minieri is in the 9. Seed made a preflop raise to 70,000. Minieri, as he's done just about every hand since Day One, re-raised to 220,000.

And then Seed re-raised to 1 million.

Minieri folded, and it should be interesting to see how these two players fare the rest of the day sitting next to each other.

Yep, he definitely seems like a nit to me.....

May I See Your ID?

Richard Harris raised to 60,000 from middle position and Dario Minieri called. The flop was {Q-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}. Harris checked and Minieri bet 100,000. Harris asked for Minieri to count out his remaining chips and as he started to, Harris folded.

After the hand, Willie Tann asked Minieri how old he was. "Are you even 21 yet?" he queried.

"No, not yet" Minieri joked.

"What's your name" asked Tann.

"Dario" he replied.

"No, your REAL name.. not the one on that fake ID" he kidded.

Andrew Gunderson eliminated by Jeff Bryan
Jeff Bryan raises to 60,000 under the gun and it is folded around to Andrew Gunderson on the small blind, who moves all in for 325,000. Daniel Alaei folds the big blind and Bryan makes the call.

Gunderson has Q /images/graemlins/heart.gifJ /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
Bryan has A /images/graemlins/heart.gifQ /images/graemlins/diamond.gif

The flop is T /images/graemlins/diamond.gif8 /images/graemlins/spade.gif4 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif giving Gunderson a straight draw, but the 6 /images/graemlins/spade.gif turn and K /images/graemlins/heart.gif river don't improve him and he is eliminated.

On a flop of {K-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, Isaac Haxton bets 500,000 into a 200,000 pot, enough to put his opponent Mark Ellerbe all in. Ellerbe goes into the tank and says "I know you have a flush draw, but I fold."

Haxton laughs and shows him the {K-Hearts}.

Dag Martin Mikkelsen Eliminates Chris Lovelace in Regal Fashion

After Mikkelsen raised in middle position, Lovelace came over the top for the last of his 389,000. Mikkelsen called with {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and was in a race against Lovelace's pocket Eights.

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}, giving Mikkelsen a flush and gutshot draw, and on the turn Dag hit the {6-Diamonds} to make his flush. Lovelace still had outs, he could win with a Jack or Eight, but the river brought the {Q-Diamonds}, giving Mikkelsen a Royal Flush and knocking Lovelace out.

I would not say Huck is a nit. He is quiet and perhaps shy, but has a great sense of humor. One evening, after Dan Heimiller had stolen his blinds one too many times, Huck looked at him and said "Dan, if you do that again, I'm going to let myself into your hotel room and stab you seventy-eight times with a sharp knife." Dan did it again on the next orbit, of course.

Another night, we were trying to figure out the line on how long it would take to walk from the Bike to Vegas. I genuinely think if I'd been willing to commit, he'd have taken that prop and started walking, right then.

There's no way anybody should try this in August. You're simply putting your lfie at risk walking in the 110+ degree desert.

Assuming good weather and taking close to the shortest route possible (including walking on the highway if it's legal), it has to be doable in a week. That's only walking about 13 hours a day. Six days seem very possible with 15 hours of walking per day. 5 days is a major task.

Howard,

I want the action (I will bet $100 on just about anything with long odds), but DO NOT TAKE THE BET. Sorry, I'm not willing to risk jinxing JV here.

Agree. As I recall it, I guessed that six days would be about right. But it had to happen then, so I think he'd be restricted to walking at night. A chase car with food and water would also be permitted. Given the time of year, I probably could have been convinced to bet seven days, but I don't think I would have done eight.

I think it would have taken $50K to get the bet done. That's a heavy prop.

Depends on the pot size. With an overcard and flush draw, he may have figured he was pot-committed if he took any kind of real swing at the pot, so jam to maximize FE. Not saying it was the right move, seems like a crappy spot actually with his image, but this could have been his thought process.

Callin raises with A2o, then stacking off on AAQ board.
What the hell could he beat, a flush draw, that min 4bets the flop?
Come on....

It could be one of those "I'll represent an A and minreraise", so he might thought villain has air, but still, preflop + flop just look bad here...

Yeah I was thinking the same. Multiple re-raises off of a flop like that, you have to think your opponent has queens full or three aces with a better kicker.

Gus Hansen Is Crippled By Jason Koshi

Before the flop Hansen called Koshi's 60,000 raise and they saw a flop of {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{A-Clubs}. Koshi bet 78,000, Hansen raised 100K more, Koshi re-raised to 237,000, and Hansen moved all-in. Koshi called with {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}, crushing Hansen's {A-Spades}{2-Clubs}. The {3-Clubs} on the turn and {9-Spades} on the river didn't save Hansen and he was left with 410,000.

Bye bye Gus.

Another night, we were trying to figure out the line on how long it would take to walk from the Bike to Vegas. I genuinely think if I'd been willing to commit, he'd have taken that prop and started walking, right then.

[/ QUOTE ]

At 267 miles form the Bike to the Bellagio, it would take me about 90 walking hours.

[/ QUOTE ]



Yes, but you could not do it straight. I don't think you'd want to walk along the freeway, and you need food, water, and sleep. It was at the Legends, so it was also mid-August and hot as hell.

[/ QUOTE ]

There's no way anybody should try this in August. You're simply putting your lfie at risk walking in the 110+ degree desert.

Assuming good weather and taking close to the shortest route possible (including walking on the highway if it's legal), it has to be doable in a week. That's only walking about 13 hours a day. Six days seem very possible with 15 hours of walking per day. 5 days is a major task.

With the board reading 10s-5h-6s-10c-Qh Safieddine bet his last 200,000 and put Lam into a quandry. After residing in the tank for several minutes Lam asked the stone-faced Safieddine "Do you want a call?" Getting no response, Lam finally pushed the chips forward and, without even seeing Lam's hand, Francois rapped the table and said, "Nice call". He tossed his hand into the muck and Lam showed that he called with just A-K. He's now up to 1.9 million, and Safieddine is out.

[RonWR]

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



We had an argument yesterday about the percentage of people who are still in and know what M is.

I guess the secret is out now

I want to know how his opponent folding KQ helps to make your point. So his move folds out every single worse hand and only better hands call, and that's a good thing. Apparently I've missed some stuff when learning about poker. I hope he put him on a flush draw, or was running a bluff trying to fold out a medium A (figuring he had a good chance to chop if they called,) because if that was a value push it was truly awful.

[THAY3R]

He has horrible leaks, and his explanations were awful. He could be a very good player, but his short stack knowledge is awful.

[TehVader]

Minraising is the nuts

Alex Kravchenko bet 100,000 on the flop while Richard Harris raised it another 100,000. Kravchenko came back over the top for an additional 100,000 and Harris called. The turn was the and Kravchenko immediately bet 500,000. After going into the tank, Harris eventually let the hand go, but not before flashing A-K.

He made similar moves a few times, didn't he? Raised button & folded to BB shorties push IIRC?

BTW Thay3r - I saw your name in early updates of the ME... did you end up cashing?

Dude, check the action. There's absolutely no way he's folding anyone out there.

[/ QUOTE ]

I did, there was some minraising until Gus moved all-in. Correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe Gus misread that minraising as a somewhat weak ace. I don't know what Gus knows about that particular player or what reads he had on him. But I'm pretty sure that Gus knew he was beat, otherwise he would be indeed terrible!

[/ QUOTE ]

It's terrible either way. Trying to fold out a preflop raiser who obviously had trips or a boat and had already min-4-bet the flop? C'mon now.

[THAY3R]

Yea, he made some awful short stack plays.

No, I suck at WSOP.

Eh, it's a reasonable BvB play from Villain. We'd have to know more about image, history, etc. Far less horrible on its face than most of the crap we've seen so far.

Q9o seems like an awfully bad hand in that spot. Just seems dominated so many ways.

Steven Garfinkle raised to 72,000 from the button, Jeff "Mr. Rain" Banghart re-raised to 200,000 from the small blind, Garfinkle moved all in for 605,000 and Mr. Rain was forced to fold. That hand took Garfinkle's stack up to 900,000.

On the next hand, Banghart raised to 75,000 from the button and Kevin Farry called. The flop was {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. Farry checked, Banghart bet 250,000, Farry moved all in and Banghart folded.

After these two hands, Banghart's stack was down to 1.85 million.

god that sucks so bad for JV. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[Dunkman]

We just don't know what's happening in their BvB battles, so it's hard to say. J_V's raise was very large, and Ramirez may have had a read that it was a bluff, or had a read that he would raise ATC there. If he's raising top 50% there but only calling Ramirez's push with top 5%, then it's clearly a good play. I mean it's a tough break for j_v, but I think it's jumping to conclusions to say it was terrible by Ramirez. If j_v says it was a donk play by Ramirez then I'll believe him, but I think he's the only one that knows.

Limp shoving with a wide range can be fine if BB raises limps with decent range and Q9 is not a "dead in the water" hand if called. He was unlucky he ran into AK this time but was able to suckout. Whatever.

Not necessarily. I'm not completely disagreeing with you because I've been a critic of that style too, but there are spots in tournamnet play where even if the math dictates an instacall with any two live, that it's still reasonable to fold if you're the big stack. It's situational depending on your opponent's range vs. his M, if you're setting up a play in the future, etc.

Hand that, imo, are calling his shove in that post (given the gross size of the shove) are going be larger pairs a lot. He'll have one overcard or me grossly dominated a lot. Obv I have no idea how much he knows about J_V, but I would imagine he shoudln't be expecting him to call with like 88 a ton of times there.

Hyon Kim Doubles Up Through William Spadea

Under the gun, Spadea raised to 85,000 and, from the big blind, Kim moved all-in for 725,000. Spadea made the call with pocket Jacks, but Kim had the bigger pair in Kings. The {3-Spades}{Q-Spades}{7-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} board gave the pot to Kim, who is now up to 1.7 million. Spadea slipped to 2.2 million.


Richard Murnick Doubles Through Jeff Tunkel

Jeff Tunkel raised to 75,000, Richard Murnick moved all in for 741,000 and Murnick called. Tunkel turned over {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, while Murnick flipped up {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}. The board came {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Murnick doubled up to 1.6 million. Tunkel's stack fell to 2.2 million.

I'm saying you shouldn't reraise that amount in the first place if you are going to fold to a push.

Well I sure hope J_V wouldn't raise/fold a middle pair there. And if he is calling with only premium pairs, it's a good move in any case. Anyway, back to the action...

Hevad Khan Eliminates Humberto Brenes

After Brenes raised to 85,000 from middle position Hevad "Rain" Khan re-raised from the big blind to 205K. 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 {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} 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 {3-Spades}{5-Spades}{K-Spades} paired Humberto but gave Khan the nut flush draw, and after the {4-Diamonds} hit on the turn Brenes needed a King to stay alive.

The were calls of "King, King" from the crowd as the dealer burned and turned the {10-Spades} to give the pot to Khan and eliminate Humberto Brenes from the Main Event.

Thank God.
