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

[snoopy1239]

Mark Teltscher is OUT. He lost most of his chips with J-9 vs. J-T on a Q-T-x Flop, before Jeff Kimber laid on the finishing touches with K-J vs. Q-3. "Another pathetic performance," added Teltscher as he left.

Johnny Lodden is on about 70k, whilst Foxy has 90k. Phil Hellmuth is recovering a little, he's up to 30k. Thomas Middelthon is MIA.

First place incidentally is paying just over $900,000.

Mateyboy makes it 1.4k, JP Kelly moves all-in, Mateyboy folds.

Meanwhile, it has emerged that JP has wrestling theme tunes on his ipod. What kind of loser like wrestling?! 

[NoflopsHomer]

Erick Lindgren, fresh from winning a $340k prop bet on (what else?) golf.

Erik Seidel, Carl Olsen and Stuart Fox.

Amir Vahedi

Our probable chip leader sitting next to a very shy Tobey Maguire.

Vicky Coren is very impressed by the size of Jamie Gold's rack. Of chips.

Tobey Maguire -- 47,200

He'll have to allow for periods of time being blinded away every time a baby gets trapped in a burning building or something...

[snoopy1239]

While Amir Vahedi receives a foot massage (lucky he's not married to Marsellus Wallace), Tony G has enjoys a brief blind v blind battle with his neighbour, and I experience the joy of witnessing a slight dribble of Tony G trash talk seeping out, the nefarious Lithuanian commenting "You only have two options, raise or fold" as his small blind opponent ponders a decision.

[snoopy1239]

Howard Lederer has around 40k after re-raising Alex Jacob's pre-flop raise of 2.1k to 12.1k.

David Levi is OUT, teased on the Flop and Turn.

All-in with A-T v J-J, the Flop brought 5c-Ac-2c (no one holds a club), only for the Turn to bring a painful but justified red Jack.

[snoopy1239]

Phil Hellmuth has added another 10k or so to his stack, re-raising a 3.8k River bet on a to 10k, his young opponent's "Surely you didn't call me with a 6 pre-flop" comment receiving no response.

Hellmuth's bet was called nonetheless, only for the 11-bracelet winner to show Kings for the pot.

[snoopy1239]

JP Kelly, still plugging away with 20k, but the blinds are gradually catching up with him.

[snoopy1239]

German/Italian/American (gosh, this chap get around) Mark Bartlog is running super duper with 130k. Wowzer!

[snoopy1239]

Phil Laak is all-in for 33k with 15k in the pot. Hoyt Corkins folds, although rather reluctantly.

[snoopy1239]

Erik Friberg will be kicking himself, making an incorrect River call for a chunky 16k. The board read and his opponent held the monster hand of .

The Swede still has 75k though.
