$5000 Stud. Starts at 12 Noon PST...
by Chris Newton Friday, 24th of June 2005 01:02 AM When I got back from reporting the Levi hand, Seidel was gone. Friday, 24th of June 2005 12:46 AM We're now down to 40 players. David Levi got it all in with split kings, only to run into rolled up 4's. The salt in the wound came on fourth street when his opponent made quads. Friday, 24th of June 2005 12:26 AM Down to 42 players now. John Hennigan and Steve Zolotow played short stacks well for a long time, but couldn't find any traction, and they are out. Friday, 24th of June 2005 12:11 AM Well we're down to 45 players and we lost Carlos Mortensen. The two players that appear to have the largest stacks right now are John Phan and Denmark's Jan Sorensen. I've really enjoyed watching Jan's game. And I thinking that this native of Hans Christian Andersen's (his 200th birthday anniversary is this year) home town is aiming for a fairy tale ending. Thursday, 23rd of June 2005 11:50 PM First hand back from the break and Doyle catches a wheel, only to lose to and ace high straight. So Doyle is out. But all-in-all, not a bad day for the Brusons. Thursday, 23rd of June 2005 11:37 PM The players are taking a quick break after level 7. Only one more level to play tonight. And we're down to just under 50 players. We lost Andy Bloch and Phyllis Meyers this past level. Thursday, 23rd of June 2005 10:56 PM About 60 players left. Kimberly Bye, Eskimo Clark, Paul Darden and Peter Costa have exited the field. And John Phan is holding on to his large stack. This is going to be a televised event, which means it will be a three day event. They will stop the play tonight at level 8. Thursday, 23rd of June 2005 10:29 PM Garry Bush and Paul Sexton head to the rail. Thursday, 23rd of June 2005 09:30 PM Gavin Smith ran into Steve Zolotow, so it's off to Chinese Poker for Gavin Also on the rail are Al Boston, Kiril Gerasimov, and Cyndy Violette There are 79 players left...still a ways from the money Thursday, 23rd of June 2005 07:26 PM Dinner break. Play will resume at 8:45 pm I just saw John Phan win another big threeway pot with trip 2's. And it dawned that it's been a long time since I spotted David Oppenheimm or Humberto Brenes for awhile... Thursday, 23rd of June 2005 07:02 PM Down to 102: Paul Darden's death was greatly exaggerated - he just was up moving to a new table. Phew. Thought I gave him the whammy. John Phan took out both Cherri Thomas and Tony "The Lizard" Bloom Thursday, 23rd of June 2005 06:40 PM We're down to about 110 players and the stack swings are getting big: More Casualties: John Juanda Perry Friedman Isabelle Mercier Ivo Donev Paul Darden (my bad - I cursed him with the "comfort" hot seat) Daniel Negreanu Layne Flack Thursday, 23rd of June 2005 05:40 PM We're down to about 135 players. More among the missing: Clonie Gowen Jennifer Harman Can Kim Hua Some people starting to build a comfortable stack: Greg Mascio Yevgeny Kafelnikov (the former tennis pro just missed the final table in the $1500 stud event) Mike Wattel Paul Darden Thursday, 23rd of June 2005 05:03 PM People who are missing from the field: Howard Lederer Huck Seed Jeff Lisandro Bob Feduniak Mel Judah Marcel Luske (alas, no more serenades) Scotty Nguyen Victor Ramdin Ted Forrest (It's always hard to tell with him, as he pops out of his seat every few minutes. But I think this time it's real:) Thursday, 23rd of June 2005 03:42 PM This is a little more complete player list. We're getting into the thick of now, so I'll probably start to try to pick up some preliminary stack information:
Thursday, 23rd of June 2005 02:06 PM OK. we just had our first break. And I noticed a few playerless stacks now had players as Erick Lindgren Howard Lederer joined the field. Other players I noticed this time through were: Garry Bush Tony “The Lizard” Bloom Mike Wattel Victor Ramdin Thursday, 23rd of June 2005 01:25 PM Some more names I picked up along the way: Chris Grigorian Thursday, 23rd of June 2005 12:52 PM A quick pass through the room yileded these names, although there have been some late comers, table jockeying and another table added - so I'll take another pass in minute: Mickey Appleman Daniel Negreanu Thursday, 23rd of June 2005 12:14 PM Hey y'all, this is Amy. And while I'm an omaholic, I'm also a sucker for stud. So I beat the team to the Rio to cover this one.
