WSOP $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. - Day 2 - Interactive

[Djinn]

And the Day Two Eurowatch leads back to Bruno Fitoussi (glasses, blue overshirt) who's been in consistently good chip shape throughout the day, even though his stack has been overshadowed by some other top-tenners, he has quietly maintained his more-than-decent chips.  Sharing his table, Rob Hollink (round sunglasses, bizarre choice of hoody) who's not grazed the dizzy heights of the chip lead but is nevertheless still in, and not too short stacked.

This banner might be difficult to see, but in fact this is a banner for 'The Official Security System Intergrator for the World Series of Poker'


A worthy cause if ever I saw one.

The game changes to Razz - 2k ante, 3k bring in with 10k/20k the bet size.  We can ignore no longer that these are limits which take chunks out of healthy stacks.  With under 20k Cyndy Violette was all-in immediately after the new round was announced, showing the .  A crowd surged forward, and I saw no more cards appearing in front of her or her opponent.  But I did see the long drawn-out hushed squeeze as her final card was dealt, with a great "phew" as she liked what she saw and scooped the pot, much to the delight of her fans on the rail.  Still in trouble though, Homer has gone down to vulture.

Check out the lineup that's ended up side-by-side on this table after the many reorganisations and table-breaks today:
Phil Ivey, Eli Elezra, Phil Hellmuth...

Hellmuth raises showing a , Seed calls with a ,

Hellmuth picks up a and Seed gets a , both check on fourth street.

Hellmuth pairs with a whilst Seed bets when he gets a , Hellmuth calls.

6th street brings an for Hellmuth and an ugly for Seed. Hellmuth bets 20k, and Seed goes into the tank, dwelling for a while since the bet represents a good portion of his stack. He eventually folds and Hellmuth shows giving 'The Poker Brat' a current low of which I suspect was way ahead of whatever Seed had.

Justin Bonomo then calls a raise from Jon Hennigan and check calls until 5th street when he starts betting out instead.

Bonomo:

(?) (?)

Hennigan:

(?) (?)

Hennigan instantly mucked, slightly disgusted that 5th and 6th street had destroyed his hand.


Bill Edler is OUT, and play has now ended for the day.

And they've called Time on the H.O.R.S.E Day Two, with 52 players still remaining.

So, it's been a bit of an uphill one today, but plenty going on to watch in this most prestigious of events, if you can get to the front - and it continues tomorrow at 2pm (10pm UK time).

But for now...

Anyone know how Peter Gould is getting on in the mixed Holde'm event?

Was about 8th with 80kish but that was probably at about 1am vegas time, no idea where he's at now.

Pictured below, a serious-looking Victor Ramdin, who has to be one of the nicest players I've mini-interviewed during the last season of the EPT.  Happy to talk to other players, press, random members of the public, he's one of the less widely-known Pokerstars players in Europe, but people seem to like him over here.

I have a great clip of him throwing a bit of a tantrum and getting Ian Bradley a 10 minute penalty in a WPT. Background commentary/heckling from Ed G makes it more entertaining. Having said this we did see Victor in the corridor the next day and he apologised. Ian wished him luck... he went on to win it.

Thanks for that NoflopsHomer, I read on Gutshot that he'd gone out in 17th place or something. Shame! Next time Peter!!!!
