Re: This isn\'t right...
David Sklansky Busts
David Sklansky pushes all-in with a K-Q for a pair of Queens on the flop against an opponent holding A-J. His opponent ends up catching running cards to give him a straight and Sklansky is busted from the tournament. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: This isn\'t right...
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] booo "Shaniac" Busted Eric Molina raises from middle position to $4,000, Shane "Shaniac" Schleger in the big blind pushes for around $14,000. Molina and Schleger had just been in a heated argument a few hands ago that caused the floor to come over and resolve the problem. Molina thinks about the all-in from Schleger and says "Man, I really want to bust you. Ok. I call." Molina flips over 7diamond7club, Schleger Aspade6heart. The flop comes AdiamondKdiamond8diamond, pairing Schleger's Ace but giving Molina a flush draw. The turn gives Molina his flush when the 3diamond hits. The river is the Kspade and Schleger is eliminated from this years main event. Molina now has $88,700. [/ QUOTE ] Four on the board flushes are one of the worst ways to get outdrawn. [/ QUOTE ] Yea, much worse than getting your pocket pair beaten by a 3-outer on the flop. I don't see this as a tough way to lose at all. We don't know the details, but perhaps if Shaniac wouldn't of pissed the guy off earlier, he would of picked up the small pot here instead of getting busted. Maintaining a degree of FE is key if you're going to make a run at this damn thing. [/ QUOTE ] I don't like Shaniac's play regardless. His stack is not big enough to resteal with. The guy is getting like 2-1 pot odds. The raise was from middle position, so A6o is likely to be dominated. He may have thought that the guy was maliciously raising his blind and that ace high might be ahead. He also may have gotten carried away by anger and made a bad resteal.

Re: WSOP Main Event Day 2A Sweat
Strasser Sniffs Out a Bluff
In a three-way pot with a baord showing 10diamond8diamond3spade, Jason Strasser checks, a player in mid-position bets $7,000 and the other player in the pot folds. Strasser calls and the turn puts the 10club on the board. Strasser again checks and his opponent bets $10,000. Strasser again calls and the river brings the Qdiamond. Strasser continues to check and his opponent continues to get with $15,000. Strasser just calls again and shows 9heart9diamond for two pair, 10's and 9's. His opponent flips up a stone cold bluff with 7heart2spade and Strasser takes down the pot to up his already massive stack to $220,000.

Re: WSOP Main Event Day 2A Sweat
From Wicked Chops Poker:
[ QUOTE ] Annie Duke, a woman poker player (one of the 50 plus who remain on Day 2), was pretty fired up when we just walked by her table. She was talking to her brother Howard Lederer on her cell and was worked up about the announcement they just made saying they're already half way through today's field of 1800 (after less than 2 levels). So if they're down to 900 already on Day 2A, they most likely will be way below 500 players if they play out the full 6 levels, which is basically half the number of players set to cash in this year's main event (873). What does that mean? We have no clue. We suck at math and logic and all that brainy stuff, but Annie tells us that tomorrow's Day 2B field has the distinct advantage of knowing exactly where they stand and stalling to the disadvantage of today's flight. So what is Annie doing about it? She's having her big brother take care of things. "My brother is calling Jeffrey Pollack," she repeatedly told everyone around her. By the way, this is the first time the WSOP folks have had to deal with two flights on Day 2, and it will be interesting to see how it plays out and when we say how it plays out we mean how they will [censored] this up. [/ QUOTE ] I'd say play 5 flights today and tomorrow. I don't know how you can make ~1700 players go "slower".

Re: WSOP Main Event Day 2A Sweat
Annie Duke makes an interesting point there. Seems the best plan is they could perhaps cap the day at playing down to 500 or 600 players, then do the same thing on day 2b. They certainly can't play down to the money while the field is still split, so it sounds likely they'll have to end the day early.

They appear to be a little ahead of schedule, since they planned to play to 700 tonight.
