WSOP $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. Final: Live Update - Interactive

[Djinn]

We'll feed your suggestions into our special UpdateComputer, and get back to you on a reasonable schedule...  personally I am thinking that the $2,000 NL shootout might be good fun, and contain a good number of blondeites...

Anyway, back to the event in hand - Snoops is at the rail (where the spectator stands have magically emptied allowing us to pull up a pew) and I rather think I should join him, and maybe take some illicit snaps from behind the other viewers.  Back in a tick.

Chip bets 100k, Andy calls

Flop =

Andy checks, Chip bets 100k, Andy folds.

After such a frantic start to the day, it really has returned to snail's pace. I suppose it beats the ol close your eyes and stick it in routine though that we normally see from heads-up encounters.

A few heads up piccies for you to get your teeth into...

I'd really like coverage of the Stud eight or better and the deuce-seven. *_*

What worries me about covering these Events is that there might not be enough interest to warrant an update. Although I'd like to give somehting different a go, I don't expect there too be too many blondeites, 'names', and European players involved, and that's what we need to lure people to the updates.

Continue to show up the other updaters and word will spread and you'll get plenty of viewers.

And while we wait for Jen to return with something exciting to report, allow me share with you a few snaps I took of my current abode.

Hey Snoops. Sorry to go off track for a second, but did you hear the entire Villa squad put out a joint statement slating Doug Ellis for not splashing the cash?

[snoopy1239]

sheesh, 5 o'clock here already

time really has flown by today

it feels like 2 hours, not 8, and starting at 9pm instead of the usual 12 or 2pm was kinda surreal.

The only time I can figure out the time of day here is when the cleaners start bringing out the vaccuum cleaners.

On other matters, Andy Black, who wasn't in the HORSE, has been mixing it up on the cash table, as has Hellmuth, who undertook an all night session of Chinese Poker last night.

My secret spy told me that there'd been a lot of money changing hands this week. Apparantly, Matusow, The Shiek, and Hellmuth have been the big losers of the week, but how reliable that info is, I'm not sure.

The last chip count put Andy Bloch ahead with 4.8mil to Chip Reese's 2.4.

And recently an 800k raise preflop (over the top of Andy's raise to 100k) from Chip sent a pot towards his opponent, when the flop came .  They both checked, and when Chip checked the turn, Andy's 400k bet gave him that tasty pot.

As for the rest of the last half hour, it's been the bettor on the flop who's taken the pot down.  It has slowed, but even so, this has definitely been one of the swiftest-passing updates I've had the privilege to participate in.

After seeing High Stakes Poker a couple of those names are no surprise.

Every hand seems to be following the same pattern. A preflop bet to around 100k, followed by a call. Then, there will be a bet on one of the streets, which will either see a call followed by a later fold, or a fold there and then.

It's wierd how the rest of the final was so hectic and then suddenly, we're in slo-mo mode.

[snoopy1239]

(1) Flop =

Chip bets 120k, Andy calls

Turn =

Both check

River =

Chip bets 200k, Andy folds

(2) Following the current trend, Chip calls a 100k preflop bet from Bloch, who then bets 120k on a T-K-Q rainbow flop. I kninda hoped that this was to be THE hand, but the Ace on the turn seemed to slow things down as both opted for a check. Then, when the River brought a six, both players checked again. Chip and Andy showed a King, but Andy's Ten kicker beat off Chip's seven.

(3) Andy Bloch bet 100k, Chip Reese made the call.

Flop was Q-6-J (2 hearts), both checked

Andy checked the raggy turn, before folding to Chips 190k bet.

Not sure why he didn't round it up to 200k though. hmm

(4) Andy bets 80k, Chip calls

Flop =

Chip checks, Andy bets 100k, Chip folds

(5) Chip Rease made the preflop raise this time, putting in 110k in total, to which Andy called.
The flop came down rainbow 7-4-Q.
Andy checked, Chip bet 110k, and Andy called.
The turn was a nine, which resulted in both players checking.
The Chip folded to Andy's 120k River bet when the six of clubs fell.
Pot goes to Bloch
