WSOP $5,000 Short-handed NLHE: Day 1 - Interactive

[snoopy1239]

Phil Laak is up to 100k after eliminating an opponent with vs. . board.

Much hilarity has just ensued due to a highly intoxicated Thomas Wahlroos waltzing into the cardroom and demolishing Roland de Wolfe's 140k stack. Moments later, he trundled over to Phil Hellmuth's table and did exactly the same. He then buggered off.

Whilst Roland look shocked, he was still smiling. Hellmuth, meanwhile, was livid, and raced over to Roland exclaiming, "Hey, Roland, what's up with your boy? Something needs to be done about him."

With the bloggers giggling under their breath, Hellmuth then chased the TD and demanded action be taken. "It's not acceptable," he moaned. "He can't just come in here and do that! I was in the middle of a hand!"

You have to laugh - Wahlroos eliminated the Poker Brat from the WPT Final, if my memory serves me right.

I think this is the first time I have ever heard of someone demanding a penalty for someone in another comp.

I just witnessed a cracking call from bracelet winner Scott Clement, his opponent moving all-in for around 35k on a board of

Scott made an excellent with , Mateyboy churlishly showing .

on the River and Bob's your uncle.

Table's quite tough now:

Tobey Maguire
Erik Friberg
Mark Vos
Scott Clement
Nicolas Levi

... and some dude in a Hawain shirt who just looks like a tourist who's taken a wrong turn.

Johnny Lodden -- 21,500

[action man]

Is moorman still in?

[snoopy1239]

Board = and Nicolas Levi, who, oddly, isn't wearing his trademark hat, calls a big Turn bet from Friberg, before checking down the River, saying, "Got a pair?" Friberg shows , which is enough to take the pot. "I think I played every street badly," add Levi. He still has 101.5k though.

I'm afraid I haven't seen Chris for a good few hours. Looks like he's a gonna.

[snoopy1239]

Johnny Lodden is OUT. A-Q raised, all-in from Beevers. Joe turns over Aces, Johnny dead meat.

"Do you ever lose a hand?" asks one of the other players.

Joe doesn't waste his breath responding.

Phil Laak is OUT.

Caught him in the hallway on the way out, he looked gutted.

"Yep, I'm gone," he said dejectedly.

Good news, the clever men at pokernews.nl managed to get a funny interview with a slightly drunk Wahlroos and are putting up on Youtube in a short while. We'll post a link when we get it.
