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

Beagle news from the break...

Jeff Kimber is up to 21k after, in his own words, "muppetting some guy with A-Q vs. A-K".

It's not as bad it sounds though (maybe...) - Jeff raised it up to 300, a serial raiser made it 1,100 and Jeff pushed for his opponent's remaining 4.

Ace high flop, runner runner heart. Ouch - if you're gonna muppet your opponent, muppet them in style.

Jeff also added, "Patrick Antonius just sat next down to me, I can't think of anyone else I'd want to see less."

No sign of Praz or Karl?

No, but we've still not scouted the full tournament, plus there were many alternates - they could have been one of those.

They were umming and ahing about playing a couple nights ago - In Karl's case I thought that actually translated to, "Yes of course, I just chopped the $1k threehanded, how can I not spend some of it on the $5k?" but they might have just slept in.

Thanks Jen, a distinct possiblity on some sort of lateness!

A dejected Marc Goodwin is OUT.

He missed an opened ended flush draw with 5-6s after re-raising pre-flop. Mateyboy bet a tiny amount on the River, but Marc was forced to fold.

Soon after, he ran Tens into Big Slick - "I just knew he was going to hit," he said in defeat.

Kirk Morrison is down to 9k after calling a 3.7k bet on a and folding to his opponent's all-in on the Turn.

Speaking to Brian Wilson about WPT Grand Final runner-upper, Kirk Morrison, he reckoned Negreanu had a piece of Kirk and Erick Lindgren a chunk of Mortsensen. With this in mind, he wondered if there had been a chop chop come heads-up.

Patrick Antonius is OUT. He re-raised all-in with but found a caller with Ace Queen, which made a Broadway on the river.

"Why does he play these events?" asked one of the reporters, telling me yesterday after busting out of the Horse that he was playing on Full Tilt with $700,000 spread across 4 tables...


Bumped into Barry Neville who said, "Fookin' 'ell, these young American kids are mad. This kid 'ere bets out on a Queen 'igh flop, 'nd this guy raises him, and kid move all in for t' whole stack with Q-5 and other guy calls wit' two pair! Fookin' 'ell."

Jeff Buffenbarger is OUT, backpack was on and he was walking away from the table...
