Humorous Moments at the WSOP

 

-- About an hour into play, Assistant Tournament Director Jimmy Sommerfeld announced to all players and spectators:  “The player who just busted off Table 34, Seat 5 – you left your shoes.”  The player did not return to claim his property.  A size 10 pair of Salvatore Ferragamo sandals remains unclaimed at the WSOP lost and found.

 

 
i read about this. apparently kenny tran stole antonio esfandiari's sandels from under his chair, then told the tournament director that they belonged to the guy that just busted. so they announce it buy esfandiari was none the wiser to any of this!

Humorous Moments at the WSOP

-- As players bust out, tables are broken down and consolidated.  This requires players to pick up their own chips and transfer to new tables.  Deep into Level 18, a player was walking across the room and accidentally bumped into a camera crew.  Two full racks of assorted chips crashed to the floor and rolled off in different directions.  There was a mad dash by the player and tournament staff to recover the stray chips.  After a few minutes, all chips were gathered and the player finally took his new seat.  Mischievous-minded Jimmy Sommerfeld decided to have some fun at the player’s expense.  As the player was re-stacking his chips into neat rows, Sommerfeld put on his best stone face.  He informed the player that any chips that hit the floor would be ruled technically out of play.  After a momentary expression of shock, the player quickly figured out he was the target of a gag and play resumed.

 

 

-- Sommerfeld continued his folly.  After players were allowed back into the tournament room following a 20-minute break, Sommerfeld jokingly announced to the crowd who were strolling slowly back in, “Cards are back in the air in 15-seconds!”  After a few screams of panic and players dashing madly to re-take their seats, Sommerfeld smiled and announced the players still had two minutes to take their seats.

-- Seven females started the day.  Entering Day 6, only two females remain alive.  They are Nichoel Peppe (Long Beach, ) who is in 35th place.  Leo Margets (Barcelona, Spain) is in 135th place.   Note:  Nichoel Peppe’s name is spelled correctly.

 

 

so does that mean leo margets' name is spelled incorrectly? americans really are odd
