WSOP $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. - Day 4 - Interactive

[Djinn]

Chris Reslock finishes in 15th place, winning $88,800...

R

This Razz round has a bring in of 10k, a 30k complete, and 30k/60k limits.  With just 42k remaining, it is unsurprising that Chris Reslock pushed it in after Barry Greenstein completed the bet preflop.  Amnon Filippi called in the middle, and they saw a second card, at which point Barry's bet got rid of the other contender and they were on their backs:

Barry Greenstein:  [ ]

Chris Reslock:  [ ]

Fifth street brought Barry the but a second for Chris, and sixth street was crueller, bringing Chris another while Barry's hand just got better and better with the and finally the .  Chris Reslock's final gave him a Q-T-5-4-2 low against a lovely 7-6-5-4-A - and we're down to 14.

Not seeing too much action on the outer table, the play appearing to slow down slightly.

What I did notice, however, is that they are in jovial spirits, perhaps happy to have reached the money (that might be 50k profit for many of them).

Just before he headed over to the TV table ("C'est la vie," he said to Raymer), Bruno Fitoussi  felt the wrath of Freddie Deeb, folding his (?)(?) to The Penguin's 30k bet with (?)(?) .

Could one of you get to the front of the rail and shout DONKAMENT, while something important is happening?

Should we be shouting it out at any one in particular?

[Tragic]

Well, no, but you might get a good picture of someone's shocked face if they turn around and you have your camera ready?

Picks

Fitoussi obviously
Greenstein
Tim Phan

[snoopy1239]

Two players who I don't think we have pictured yet, the first is Frenchman Bruno Fitoussi, most likely to be found in the Aviation Club in Paris, and the second is John Hanson, who I know nothing about except that he was the end of Day 2 chip leader.

[snoopy1239]

By the looks of it, John Hanson is perhaps the lowest stack with circa 500k.

S

A good 15 minutes of cagey Razz/Stud play on the not-so-featured table.  Just now we got to fourth street with Greg Raymer calling Freddy Deeb.  Showing X X he then passed, however, with Deeb lamenting, "Where are you going?" as he flipped the to go with his showing .

Sandwiched in between two hands where Dave Singer took the pot uncontested by sliding his 30k across the line, a three-way pot emerged involving Singer, Kenny Tran and Amnon Filipi.

Singer is in for 5k, Tran 30k, Amnon and Singer match the 30k.

Singer = (?)(?)
Amnon = (?)(?)
Kenny = (?)(?)

Kenny bets 30k, Amnon and David call.

Singer = (?)(?)
Amnon = (?)(?)
Kenny = (?)(?)

Kenny bets 60k, Amnon calls, David folds.

Amnon = (?)(?)
Kenny = (?)(?)

Amnon bets 60k, Kenny calls.

Amnon = (?)(?) (?)
Kenny = (?)(?) (?)

Both players check.

Amnon shows an Ace in the hole and wins the pot.

At this point in the competition, the tournament director is discussing with his counterparts the possibility of offering the more famous players the chance for an add-on to ensure that a star-studded final table is produced. If the add-on has no effect then the non-celebrity players will be asked to leave prior to the final.

[Djinn]

Here in red is Thien Phan, still there with what looks like a good-ish 800k+ stack after three days.  Tipped him on day one... anyway, he seems to quietly get the lot, remember him finalling in the $25k WPT Final in April?  I do.  He's a slightly under-the-radar all-rounder - he's cashed in no limit, limit and pot limit Hold'em events, and won a Stud one. 

[totalise]

is the bubble a lot smaller this year? I seem to remember Hoss_TBF (Matt Hawkrileno sp) bubbling and the first cash post bubble getting c$180k last year.

great updates as usual
