WSOP Day 1B: \"Official\" Results, News & Discussion
 

Part 2 of day 1 starts shortly, with another 1800+ players playing their way down to about 650 in about 7.5 levels. The following sites are great to find out how some of your favorite players are doing:

cardplayer.com (with updates, chip counts every hour later in the day, and commentary)
gutshot.com
pokertrails.com
pokervoice.com (geared towards the European player)
pokerwire.com
pokerpages.com (with Mike Paulle's rolling list of players most people won't know, and a couple other blogs by their reporters).

As the second flight of the $10,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em championship was getting underway, a player was overheard asking, "Is this limit (hold'em)?" No, sir. We'll see if he's still confused if he flops the nuts.

How did this guy even figure out how to use the door handle to get out of his hotel room?

11:12am... Featured Table update: Sammy Farha and Oliver Hudson (Kate's brother) are the biggest names here at the TV table. He knocked a guy on on the first hand! The flop was A-A-10 and Sammy had A-10. Oliver had pocket tens. Ouch.

Re: WSOP Day 1B: \"Official\" Results, News & Discussion
 

I'm pretty sure I commit homicide if I have 10-10 on the first hand of the WSOP and it comes A-A-10 and someone has A-10. Just saying.

It seems far more likely to me that this is a rhetorical question in response to a hand involving nothing but min raises...

Re: WSOP Day 1B: \"Official\" Results, News & Discussion
 

God I hope so. Not that I don't believe there are more than a few morans there.

ESPN is sure getting some absolutely crazy hands to broadcast.

If I recall, I don't recall ever seeing a straight flush in the last two years, and then they get Harman losing to one. Now this on the first hand? Granted it wasn't a bad beat, but it's still extremely rare.

If we use the subject line to start threads within this thread, the thing will be much more manageable. Things like, "Phil Hellmuth whines on table 64" in the subject line, will help us look at the parts of the thread we want( or want to ignore), Without having to wade through all 7000 replies that are to come.

A search in google will explain this one to you if you care to kill some brain cells like I have.

Essentially, a clique of folks who frequently communicate via the internet create a slang all their own that clogs and leeches a message board (i.e. gets added to threads in standalone posts with little/no other content). Frequent use is often an indicator of a posters age just as not understanding such jargon is a sign that you're headed over the hill.

Soon, this term will die off for the next slang term and join the graveyard with variations on "Elite/37337" and "All your ______ are belong to us."

I completely agree -- start using Subject Headings, people.

Anybody know what 2+2ers are playing today? And how are we doing?

read my post yesterday in the other section for the exact same opinion. however, i continue to be baffled at the fact that people thought this way was better organized...yes, not being able to tell what youre going to read is much more organized...

A few more names playing today
 

Dan Harringon
Phil Hellmuth (not at his seat yet)
Alan Goehring
Dutch Boyd (down to 5500)

Only the best and brightest play in the "Main Event." We've got a young lady here who won her seat online and has never before played in a live game, and Card Player also witnessed a player who needed to be instructed on what a "showdown" is and when it happens.

The aforementioned woman, who had won her seat online and never played in a live game before, has somehow managed to be eliminated.

I like it this way much better. Sorting through pages and pages of 2 threads that are 2 replies long (and duplicates of 5 others) is beyond tedious. This way, I can see whenever someone has posted here and check for new info.

Daniel Negreanu arrived late. He thought he was early. His agent told me Daniel though action began at Noon today. Anyway, Daniel and Sammy are jawing already. Should be for good TV.

They should set up another table to the side and play some HU PLO for $500k between hands.

Yes, I'm kidding.

Erin Ness wtf?????
 

How in the hell does Erin Ness go from being a 28k a year photo assistant at Maxim to a sponsored Professional poker player with Stars?? Apparently one go at the Lederer Fantasy camp which she attended made her great?? I'm baffled. Is poker that starved for female players that we all have poker goggles??

Title: Through the "Grinder"
Log: A player makes a preflop raise, and Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi calls. The flop comes 9-3-2. Mizrachi bets out, and his opponent comes over the top all in. Mizrachi quickly calls. "Overpair no good," Mizrachi says before his opponent has the chance to flip over pocket aces. And indeed bullets are no good, as Mizrachi shows 3d-2d for bottom two pair. The turn and river are bricks, and Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi sends a player home early.

Very nice.

She had a deep run at the WSOP last year, and finished on the bubble in one of the earlier WSOP events--one with a large field I think. So maybe she has some talent.

Oh, and she's hot. Don't forget that. How often do you think Pokerstars will get the logo she's wearing on TV vs. the logo some fat slob is wearing if they go the same length of time in the tournament?
