WSOP 40k Event Dag 1

June 4, 2009 by admin

Den 40-årliga World Series of Poker inleddes med den första öppna händelsen under året i stort sätt med största no limit hold’em-turnering som någonsin spelats i USA med ett inköp på $ 40,000. Efter det något nedslående deltagandet av $ 25000 i World Poker Tour Championship i april, förutspådde många skeptiker en katastrof för WSOP.

Istället dök 201 spelare upp för High Stakes affären, vilket ger en total prissumma på $ 7.718.400, bara några hundra tusen blygare än Bellagio’s $ 8,196,500 turnering. Vinnaren av 40k turneringen kommer att gå därifrån med $ 1.891.012 i avlöningsdag.

Onödigt att säga, det område vid Rio var det absolut staplas med världens bästa spelare, på en punkt utgör en tabell där till exempel Phil Hellmuth, Scotty Nguyen, Phil Ivey, Bertrand Grospellier, David Pham, Steve Billirakis, Scott Seiver, Alan Sass, och Brett Richey ingår.

Trots 120.000 i startmarker och timslånga nivåer befann sig många bekanta ansikten runt om borden som åskådare efter bara ett par rundor i turneringen. Daniel Negreanu, John Juanda, Tom Dwan, Jim Bechtel, Jonathan Little, och Steve Gross alla åkte ut inom de första tre timmarna, bland annat.

Det är inte en överraskning att se Antonio Esfandiari överst på resultattavlan i början av en turnering och den här gången han kom dit på Annie Duke’s bekostnad. På en flopp av 10C QD 3D, Antonio Esfandiari betar och Annie Duke synar. På turn dök 8S och Esfandiari betar ut igen, för att bli synad. River var 4C och Esfandiari ställde Duke all in för ca 70000. Duke tänkte i ungefär två minuter innan hon synade. Esfandiari vänder upp 3C 3h och Duke muckade As QS. Den hand gjorde att Esfandiari gick upp över 400.000-strecket men han hade problem med att hålla i sina marker sent på dagen och avslutade med strax under 300000.

Phil Ivey dök som vanligt upp sent medan Phil Hellmuth fortsatte att plocka på sig några fina potter lagom till middagspausen. När spelarna återvänder, fångades Hellmuth med att göra en drag på brädan 6S 5S 4C KH QH. Alan Sass synade med KD 9D och Hellmuth muckade frustrerande sitt missade drag vilket ledde till att hans stack endast kunde överleva några rundor till. Efter bara någon timme, precis innan dagens spel avbröts slog Phil Ivey ut mr Hellmuth när hans AJ inte lyckades dra ut Ivey’s AK.

2003 WSOP Champion Chris Moneymaker hade en bra dag på jobbet och slutade dagen med 805.000 i marker tillräckligt mycket för att inta andra plats. I topp ligger Bruno Fitoussi med fina 812.500 i marker.

Efter tio nivåer spelade dag 1 återstår bara 89 spelare. De som är lyckliga nog att överleva första dagen kommer tillbaka fredag att spela ner till pengarna.

Här är top 10 spelare:

1. Bruno Fitoussi – 812500
2. Chris Moneymaker – 805000
3. Emil Patel – 615000
4. Lex Veldhuis – 606500
5. Justin Bonomo – 570000
6. Michael DeMichele – 550000
7. Kyle Wilson – 520000
8. Brian Townsend – 512000
9. Alan Sass – 440000
10. Matt Marafioti – 415000
