Re: WSOP Day 6 Main Event Thread

Fred Goldberg raises to $150,000 preflop and gets a call from Kevin O'Donnell in the small blind and WeiKai Chang in the big blind. The flop brings the 952. O'Donnell checks, Chang moves all in for $180,000 and Goldberg calls. Chang reveals the A2, and Goldberg shows A4. The turn brings the Q, keeping Chang's pair of deuces in the lead. The river brings the 3, however, filling Goldberg's straight and giving him the hand. Chang is eliminated in 40th place, and will receive $247,399 in prize money.

Can Gold's chip count on Cardplayer actually be right, 13.5 million? Wtf? [/ QUOTE ] He's getting in huge pots, but every time you look at an update, he's got the goods. It seems like he's getting AK or big pockets every time. Black had a huge stack last year and had more than twice the next closest guy for a while before the FT.

Re: WSOP Day 6 Main Event Thread
With regards to chips -- and this is mere speculation -- but I assume, for branding purposes, ESPN/Harrah's may have an interest in keeping the chip denominations small so that when the event hits TV, the players are constantly pushing monster stacks around at the FT, even if it takes more time and is annoying for the dealers and players alike.

[/ QUOTE ] I think the announcers talking about 10 million+ pots will do this by itself without the stacks having to be huge also.
