Doyle going for 10th bracelet

[TheJackal]

#1 - Scotty Nguyen - $254,000
#2 - Doyle Bruson - $309,000
#3 - Minh Ly - $305,000
#4 - Layne Flack - $350,000
#5 - Jason Lester - $119,000
#6 - Ayaz Mahmood - $169,000

I hope Flack or Brunson take it.

[SoftcoreRevolt]

Another fairly stacked final table.

[Popinjay]

surely this is ESPN, isn't it? i will cry if not

[Cleveland Guy]

According to a couple poker blogs - they moved what was supposed to be today's TV table to a secondary table, and have the "backup crew" filming it.

They realized that the list of people playing today, and Doyle starting the day as the chip leader was too great to pass up.

So yes, it looks like this will be on TV.

[KDawgCometh]

thank god. ESPN needs to move other tables if one final table demands certain attention. this will be great TV. I do wonder if the WSOP switches to FSN if they will tape every single final table for the WSOP

[Brad22]

Alright Doyle, do it man!!

Man, Phil is definitely gonna be pissed if two people pass him on the list.

[Smoothcall]

He still makes key mistakes sometimes but i think he's much better than i thought in tournaments. He still can do it.

[augie00]

Awesome. This will be a good one on TV.

I'm sure Doyle is eagerly awaiting your guidance to correct his 'key mistakes.'

"You can come to my funeral," Doyle Brunson said shockingly. "I can't keep playing fifteen, sixteen hour days." Texas Dolly turned the heat on everyone. He wanted to either keep playing straight through or come back tomorrow. ESPN executiive producer David Schwartz was called in. As was the tourament director Johnny Grooms. A compromise was reached that Doyle accepted. Instead of a two or two and a half hour break for interviews and camera setup, we were to start in one hour and twenty minutes. "I have to find a place to lay down," Doyle said.

From Paulle's blog.

Really, between ESPN's goofy TV taping schedule and the decisions being made to extend tournaments extra days seemingly on a whim due to poor pre-planning are making it feel like no one at the Rio knows what the hell they are doing this year above the poker room floor level. It's a joke that they've got 3 final tables running at the exact same time. [/endrant]

Scotty/Doyle HU or Doyle/Flack, which one would be better?

Flack could have damn near anything on the flop. Once Nguyen drops there's 105k in the pot (+ whatever blinds and antes) and Doyle's getting better than 2-1 on his call. NOT seeeing a turn there getting 2-1 against Flack's range of hands would probably be a mistake.

Title: Doyle Brunson Doubles Through Layne Flack Into the Chip Lead
Log: Hand 96 - Doyle Brunson has the button in seat 2, he raises to $40,000, Minh Ly reraises to $130,000, and Brunson folds.


Hand 97 - Minh Ly has the button in seat 3, and everyone folds to Nguyen in the big blind, giving him the blinds and antes.


Hand 98 - Layne Flack has the button in seat 4, Flack raises to $50,000, Brunson reraises to $150,000, Flack immediately moves all in, and Brunson pauses for a few moments before calling all in for $307,000. Flack shows Ac-Qd, and Brunson has pocket kings (Kd-Ks). The flop comes Kc-Jd-6d, and Brunson has flopped top set to take a commanding lead, but Flack has a gut-shot straight draw if he can catch a ten (four outs). The turn card is the 2c, the river card is the Js, and Doyle Brunson makes a full house (kings full of jacks) to double up into a commanding chip lead.

[csuf_gambler]

scotty gonna take this sh1t down!

[pryor15]

Hand 106 - Layne Flack has the button in seat 4, Ly raises to $36,000, and Brunson moves all in. Minh Ly stops to think if he wants to risk elimination with four players left at a time when Flack is riding a very short stack. Minh Ly folds, giving the pot to Doyle Brunson.

This is the second time that Brunson has gone all in against Minh Ly while Layne Flack is extremely short stacked. Brunson has the only chip stack larger than Minh Ly's.

yeah, he's still got a few tricks left

Title: Layne Flack Eliminated in 4th Place ($99,030)
Log: Hand 120 - Doyle Brunson has the button in seat 2, Brunson raises to $40,000, Ly calls, and Flack calls. The flop comes 10c-9h-3s, Ly checks, Flack moves all in for $62,000, Brunson calls, and Ly folds. Flack shows Kc-10d (pair of tens), while Brunson has Kd-9c (pair of nines). Brunson needs to catch a nine to eliminate Flack. The turn card is the 9d, and Brunson makes trip nines to take the lead. Flack needs to catch a ten (2 outs) to stay alive. The river card is the 5c, and Layne Flack is eliminated in fourth place, earning $99,030.


The next player eliminated will receive $106,105 for third place.

[HamJam]

What a suckout artist.

Minh Ly needs to go now. (Sorry Minh never heard of you and Scotty is the MAN.)

[whiskeytown]

Hilarious -

Johnny Chan pulls into the lead for the most WSOP bracelets - DOUBLE DIGITS - an unprecendented feat!!!

for about 48 hrs - /images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think they both should smoke Phil Hellmuth and let him cry about it - LOL - Doyle's in great shape chipwise but bad shape physically - hope this game doesn't kill him

Title: Scotty Nguyen Doubles Up Through Minh Ly
Log: Hand 141 - Scotty Nguyen has the button in seat 1, he raises to $42,000, Ly moves all in, and Nguyen calls for $137,000. Ly shows Ac-7c, but he's dominated by Nguyen's As-Jd. The flop comes 10c-8c-2s, and Ly picks up a flush draw, and can win with a seven or a club. The turn card is the Qs, and Ly has 12 outs to eliminate Nguyen. The river card is the Ks, and Scotty Nguyen has made an ace-high straight to double up to about $280,000 in chips.

Title: Update
Log: Hand 148 - Doyle Brunson has the button in seat 2, Ly raises to $48,000, winning the blinds and antes.


Hand 149 - Minh Ly has the button in seat 3, Nguyen raises to $32,000, and Brunson calls. The flop comes Ah-Ks-Jh, Nguyen bets $30,000, Brunson raises to $150,000, and Nguyen folds.


Hand 150 - Scotty Nguyen has the button in seat 1, and he raises all in for $128,000, and Ly calls. Nguyen shows Qs-Jc, and Ly has pocket fives (5s-5h). It's a classic race situation as the flop comes 8h-7d-2c, and Ly holds onto the lead. Nguyen needs to catch a jack, a queen, or a runner-runner straight to stay alive. The turn card is the 6d, and Nguyen is down to six outs. The river card is the 8s, and Scotty Nguyen is eliminated in third place, earning $106,105.


The next player eliminated will receive $203,715 for second place, while the winner will take home $367,800 and a World Series of Poker bracelet.

They care more about Phil caring so much than the actual bracelet count. The fact that Phil went 2 years mentioning his bracelets anytime he could makes the folks pointing out his shortcomings completely justified.

Besides, it's not like Phil doesn't have a shot at the world reknown Brunson-Chan Standard, he just has to win the ME, no big deal, right? Not for a single digit single ME 9 bracelet winner like Mr. Hellmuth, right?

In his post-game interview, he Brunson said it is called "The Weinberg". Apparently, it's Jack Strauss' hand (don't know where the name came from).

I watched the entire final table until it ended around 4:00am. What a thrill to see a legend do his thing.

Once he grabbed some chips, he ran over the competition. It was a true lesson in power poker.
