WSOP Main Event 2006 - Day 1a - Interactive

And Julian Gardner, focusing with aid of ipod (I think it's the same kind as Snoopy's - all the cool kids must have them now).  Last time I saw him he was over the 17k mark, so something must have happened in the last round to knock him down a small notch.

Good luck and best wishes to Micky & Mark Herron /Connor Tate/ Strummer/ Nick Gibson/ Iwan Jones and all the guys from Ladbrokes. Wish I was there

We've been informed that play will continue for 6 levels (so until 1:30am Vegas Time roughly) unless they haven't managed to play down to 800 (possibly 900).  So we've got a timescale for these Day Ones.  It's definitely not for the patience-challenged.

Just a little request.  Have you seen/heard my Uncle about?  Is he still in?? x

Hi there - I saw him earlier in the week loitering around the sit'n'go area, but I haven't spotted him yet today - are you sure he's Day 1a?

[Chili]

HEHE  Oh yeah Jen.  Sorry - I have no idea what day he is in

a story from an alternative site if I may....only because it is so mad!!
We had a flop of the . A bet of 300 is made by Tim Rod and he received a raise from an opponent. So, Rod merely called. The turn came the . Rod tried another bet, this time for 1500. His opponent showed strength again and raised to 4K. Rod simply smooth called the raise. The landed on the river. All in said Tim Rod and he got an instantaneous call from the opponent. Rod quickly revealed his for the second nut flush. His opponent, (and this is the way it is….in this crazy world of poker) the opponent said “Do I have a straight flush??...Oh. no…I don’t…as he turned over the for a broken everything. Tim happily scoops a nice one.

Is this really possible in a 10k buyin tourney??

   Was gonna get mad, but i see your point!  I might be ringing em up in a few months.

Rob Sherwood is up to 31k, a decent proportion of which came from a 5-3 button raise.

MB though about raising, but just called, so ROb reckoned he had something like pocket tens.

Flop came 9-7-3 and both players checked.

Turn = 3

River = rag

Rob bet both streets and MB called both times.

MB mucked on the river.

Tony G raises to 600 under the gun (blinds = 100/200), 4 callers including cut-off and both blinds.

Big Blind bets 2k on the flop. Everyone folds, including Tony G who is now down to just 3.1k.

Gala Ash isn't too happy about the way some players cover themselves up. He reckons you ought to see at least 50% of somebody's face, otherwise they might as well all play in masks.

The rest of the Gala boys are also here including Justin and (I've never asked his name but have played him loads of times) Wayney (is that right?)... Fran?

[Chili]

Its spoken Wadey, but close enough.  Ash is funny.  Hope Richard can keep onto his chips!

snoopy's Vegas tip #5

The dollars can soon seep away so make sure you cash in every last cent
