Event #57: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Championship

Day 3 Concludes

He's won the WSOP Main Event twice already. Back-to-back, in fact, in 1987 and 1988. And darned near won it in again in 1989, finishing runner-up to Phil Hellmuth.

And now, more than 20 years later, he's back making another Main Event run, having enjoyed the chip lead for much of Day 3. The Orient Express, charging from the past into the WSOP headlines today. Johnny Friggin' Chan.

A number of different storylines wound their way through the Day 3 chapter of our ongoing chronicle of the 2010 WSOP Main Event. The 2,559 players who'd made it to today were swiftly narrowed to less than half that figure -- about 1,240 as the last hands were dealt -- with numerous notables hitting the rail while others began to build those gaudy, passers-by-stopping, eye-popping, jaw-dropping stacks of chips.

Among the first to go today were Scott Seiver, Phil Laak, Jennifer Harman, Chris Moneymaker, David Williams, and Erik Seidel. They were followed by Kara Scott, Bill Chen, Daniel Negreanu, Vanessa Rousso, Joe Cada, Billy Kopp, Eugene Katchalov, John Hennigan, and Archie Karas.

Meanwhile, we saw Alexander Kostritsyn, Kevin Gates, Ricardo Fasanaro, Paul Kristofferson, Chris Tipper, Jeffrey Ross, Nicholas Rainey, Andrew Brown, and James Carroll all taking turns swapping the chip lead back and forth as stacks surged past the 500,000-chip mark.

There was one other interesting subplot from today that all will be watching when play resumes tomorrow. That of the four Mizrachi brothers -- Robert, Eric, Danny, and Michael -- all of whom made it through today. How far will they go?

It looks as though James Carroll will be returning to the biggest stack tomorrow, having snuck past the 800,000-chip mark late in the day, with Imari Love, Gerasimos Deres, Max Casal, Josh Brikis, and Johnny Lodden all not too far behind.

However, much of the talk will be about Chan -- also there near the leaders -- and whether or not he can sustain his performance of the first three days. Adding to the excitement will be the bursting of the cash bubble, which most anticipate will happen later in the day on Day 4.

After three-and-a-half days of play the World Series of Poker Main Event bubble officially burst Tuesday night, and 747 of the 7,319 players that entered were all at least $19,263. The unfortunate bubble boy was Tim McDonald, who does not go home completely empty-handed as he is the first player to have his entry secured for the 2011 WSOP.

"Let's give a nice warm round of applause to Tim McDonald," said Tournament Director Jack Effel moments after McDonald's elimination. "Because of you Tim, 747 players are now all in the money. You, my friend, have an automatic $10,000 entry into the 2011 WSOP Main Event on behalf of the World Series of Poker." Effel continued.

The hand that put the nail in the coffin for McDonald saw Ismail Erkenov open for 10,000 from the hijack seat. McDonald was on the button with only 67,500 chips left in his stack, and he re-raised to 30,000, driving the blinds out of the hand. Erkenov made the call, and the two saw a flop of {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. Erkenov checked, and when McDonald moved his last 37,500 into the middle, Erkenov quickly called.

McDonald showed absolutely no emotion. He simply rapped the table, and said "Nice hand," before Erkenov even opened his cards. Then McDonald tabled {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}, aces and queens. Erkenov revealed that he hadn't just hit the ace -- he'd also hit the deuce with {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for a flopped full house, aces full of deuces.

"You wouldn't have two queens in there, would you?" McDonald asked the dealer. But he seemed resigned to his fate. Things ended swiftly with a {7-Diamonds} on the turn. As McDonald bent down to pick up his possessions, he didn't even notice that the river came a salt-in-wound {q-Hearts}.

McDonald had to wait a few moments to make sure no other player busted. He immediately started texting on his phone, presumably disseminating the bad news. He soon received a call from a gentlleman named "Greg". McDonald answered and simply said, "I'm out."

Once it was determined that no other player busted, the floor staff walked McDonald to the stage in the center of the Amazon Room, and he received a round of applause and his entry for 2011 from Jack Effel.

What a day.

Nearly 12 hours ago, 1,203 poker players made their way through through the doors of the Amazon Room (along with a few dozen who started off in the Pavilion) to begin their quest to make the money.

However, simple arithmetic dictated that about 450 of those hopefuls would be leaving with nothing at all. Some notable players who left the Rio $10,000 lighter include Matt Savage, JJ Liu, Kathy Liebert, Dave Sands, Annie Duke, Barry Greenstein, Adam Junglen, Erica Schoenberg and Robert Varkonyi.

Of course the day has also been full of good news, especially for the 747 who secured themselves a place in the money. The $19,263 awarded to even the lowest cashers is still a significant amount of money to many people, especially those who found themselves in the Main Event after winning satellites, or who stand to cash in lucrative online incentives.

One of the day's biggest highlights was seeing all four Mizrachi brothers make the money. While Eric was the first to go, it's hard for anyone to deny that the Mizrachi clan are having one heck of a Series. Don't count them out just yet, though. Robert, Michael and Danny are still alive and well.

Last year's bubble boy was Kia Hamadani. We're happy to say that he survived well into the money this year. Unfortunately the same can't be said for Tim McDonald, who came in 748th place after his {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} were unable to hold out against the {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts} of Ismail Erkenov. Don't feel too bad for McDonald, though. He'll be back next year with a free entry to the 2011 Main Event as his consolation prize for bubbling.

Some players to keep an eye on for tomorrow include our chip leader Tony Dunst (1,546,000) as well as Phil Galfond (1,392,000), Garrett Adelstein (1,440,000), Duy Le (1,460,000), Theo Jorgensen (1,340,000) and Matt Affleck (1,395,000). Other notables who will be returning include Johnny Chan (1,159,000), Adam Levy (951,000), Alexander Kostritsyn (750,000), Praz Bansi (662,000), Scotty Nguyen (630,000) and Vanessa Selbst (435,000).

Of course, our journey is hardly complete for the 574 players who will be returning tomorrow. They still have to make the final table, and then go on to take it down from there.

Just received word about a rather remarkable WSOP story involving Belgian player Philip Goossens.

Goossens was an online qualifier who made it safely through to day three with 92,400 chips. The story that has been passed on to us, is that Goossens' package with the online poker site only extended until yesterday, and as such we would have to pay out of his own pocket to change his flights and book further accommodation to extend his stay.

Unfortunately Goossens couldn't afford to do that, so instead of seeking some financial assistance from perhaps some friends, family or fellow players, Goossens insted decided to head home, leaving his dead stack to fend for itself.

At the moment his stack is down to 58,900 and it doesn't look like it's going to survive the day.

I was going to say it's probably a good idea to name and shame the poker site.

More relevantly than asking for financial assistance from, "friends, family or fellow players", I'm sure a different poker site would have been more than happy to make the most of this opportunity.

Apparently it was on the players to book their flights with the money they were given as part of their prize.  He didn't book a long enough stay so it was up to him to eat the cost of changing his flights.  Which he refused to do.

Translated quote from his facebook page:

Quote
Dear Friends, the Vegas adventure is over and thanks a lot for all the great support! I left the tournament with my head up high, I couldn't do anything different (out of money, clothes, need to arrange a new flight, work, everyone back home and off course my girlfriend) and surviving day three would be really really tough en I don't want to spend 1000 euro's on that. It was a GREAT! experience (pics will follow).

I cant even comprehend what he has done, surely its never been 1000 euros to change a flight date, pretty sure his girlfriend would be happier if he came back two days later with $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$4 to take her on holiday instead of obviously being a busto bloke with no common sense?
