2011 World Series of Poker
Event #5: $1,500 Seven Card Stud

Champion Eugene Katchalov

Just five months after winning the $100,000 Super High Roller down at the PCA in the Bahamas, Eugene Katchalov has shipped his first World Series of Poker bracelet in Event #5: $1,500 Seven Card Stud.

Katchalov entered heads-up played against Alessio Isaia as a massive underdog, with just 250,000 chips to Isaia's 1.35 million. The native Ukrainian came roaring back however, snatching the chip lead in under an hour and never looked back from there. Katchalov's good fortune was highlighted perfectly during the final hand, where he caught consecutive cards on sixth and seventh street to make a better two-pair than Isaia. For his incredible comeback he takes home $122,909 and the coveted WSOP gold bracelet.

Isaia's play cannot be overlooked for the past three days. He entered today as the chip leader, and was among the leaders until the final table was set. There he fell in the ranks, but quickly turned it around and regained the chip lead. Unfortunately he couldn't close the deal against Katchalov heads up, and will have to settle with $75,911 for second place.

Other players who deserve praise include Eric Buchman and Jonathan Spinks. Spinks was severely card-dead throughout the day, but grinded all the way to 4th place, earning $35,476. Buchman was in cruise control at the final table, accumulating chips left and right until he began to slip. He failed to execute a handful of bluffs, and was crippled when Isaia made a wheel on sixth against his trip-queens. Buchman unhappily exited in third place, receiving $48,961 for his play.

Three days ago, 357 players enter the Rio to compete for a WSOP gold bracelet. Some of poker's greats including Tom Dwan, Jason Mercier, David Bach, Daniel Negreanu, Sorel Mizzi, Shaun Deeb and Frank Kassela all came out to compete, but in the end only one player could be crowned champion. Congratulations to Eugene Katchalov for winning his first WSOP gold bracelet

Negraneau bubbled the $10k

When it comes to Daniel Negreanu, there is no doubt the man plays for first. This was just evidenced on the money bubble of the $10K PLH Championship as Negreanu was eliminated as the bubble boy.

It happened in a blind versus blind confrontation with Jason DeWitt. Negreanu was in the big blind and called DeWitt's raise to 20,000 to see the flop come down {3-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Spades}. DeWitt continuation bet 20,000, Negreanu raised to 60,000, and DeWitt made the call. When the {9-Hearts} hit the turn, DeWitt led out with a big bet and Negreanu called off for 74,000.

Negreanu: {K-Spades}{3-Spades}
DeWitt: {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Negreanu had flopped big with bottom pair and a flush draw, but he was still behind DeWitt's pair of fours. Unfortunately for Negreanu fans, the {9-Diamonds} river blanked and he was eliminated in 28th place. The good news, at least for the remaining players, is that they're now in the money.

Event 8 $1,000 NLHE

Day 1a has officially come to an end. This is the first event this year with multiple starting days, and registration numbers are likely beat the total of players who entered this event last year (4,345).

Play was suspended with 312 players remaining. A total number of 2,116 players took to the felt today and as of this post over 1,200 have already pre-registered for day 1b tomorrow bringing the total number of players registered to more than 3,300.

Albert Kim appears to be our current chipleader with 74,675. Kim is no stranger to the WSOP as he finished in 19th place in the Main Event in 2008.

Other notable big stacks include last year's Main Event Champion Jonathan Duhamel with 45,525, Ana Marquez with around 60,000, Shane Schleger with 41,000, Dan Shak with 39,125, and David "The Maven" Chicotsky with 38,725..

Still hanging on are some other well known players including Eric Mizrachi (21,550), Chad Brown (14,275), and Vitali Lunkin (13,125).

Tomorrow Day 1b will commence at noon and the remaining players from days 1a and 1b will converge at 2:30pm on Monday for day two.

Event #9: $1,500 2-7 Draw Lowball
Day 1 completed
No Limit Deuce to Seven Day 1 Completed

After eight levels of No Limit Deuce to Seven Single Draw we've eliminated nearly 75% of the field. And what a star-studded field it was. We saw the likes of Barry Greenstein, Phill Hellmuth, David Williams, Greg Raymer, David Singer, Doyle Brunson, Erik Seidel, Michael Mizrachi and Jean-Robert Bellande among others, all find their place on the rail.

But even more important is the amount of notable pros that will be in action tomorrow. Among the 73 players left are Phil Laak, Jason Mercier, Shaun Deeb, Eli Elezra, Justin Bonomo, Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier, Galen Hall and five-time Deuce to Seven bracelet winner, Billy Baxter.

For most of the day Travis Pearson led our field, fresh off of his $1,500 Omaha 8 or Better final table. At one point he had almost 45,000 when nobody else had crossed the 30,000 chip mark. But some setbacks towards the end of the day left him bagging up just 33,600, still one of our top five stacks. Our current chip leader is George Lind III with an astounding 52,200. Lind III made his move in the very last level to put himself in excellent position heading into day 2.

You will definitely want to check back in tomorrow as this is sure to have a fantastic list of names that make the money and you never know what is going to happen in a no-limit game. The action has been fierce already but can only get hotter on moving day. We'll see you all back tomorrow at 3pm local time when action commences in the Amazon Room.

Event #4 Bracelet So Close; Allen Bari Holding Mega Lead
 
Expecting to crown another bracelet winner today at the 2011 World Series of Poker saw those ambitions fall just a few places shy in Event #4: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em as just four players remain.

Starting the day with 42 players all eyeing a piece of the $4,065,500 prizepool, many people wanted to see a fairytale story of Brian Lemke capturing his second gold bracelet in the same event after he collected the top prize in 2009. Action early saw players fly out the door as Bernard Lee (42nd), Matt Glantz (38th), Kyle Bowker, (37th), Tim West (35th), JC Tran (29th), Konstantin Bucherl (20th) and Carlos Mortensen (17th) all find themselves on the wrong side of the rail as players jostled for position as they made a run at the final table.

Unfortunately for Lemke, his roller coaster of a day that saw his chip stack soar up and down would eventually end in 14th place when his was no match for Allen Bari's when a king dropped on the board. With Lemke's chips in his possession, it would be Bari that would steamroll the field as he accumulated chips like Phil Ivey gets ZOMG's from poker noobs as he arrived at the final table sharing the chip lead with Thomas Ross.

Arriving at the final table wouldn't come without its dilemmas either as players were outraged at the fact that they had to continue playing instead of pausing for the night. Coming off two $5,000 buy-in-plus second-place finishes within the past month, Farzad Bonyadi would be unable to improve on that as he was bundled out in ninth before Mikhail Lakhitov had his kings cracked to fall in eighth. As Bari increased his lead to one-third of the chips in play, that would soon soar out to half and then two-thirds of the chips in play as Jesse Chinni and Ricky Fohrenbach fell in seventh and sixth respectively.

Although the voices on the rail picked up, the action came to a complete stall in the final hour - apart from a quickfire last few hands - as eventually play was ceased for the night with four players remaining. As was the flavor for the final table Allen Bari will hold the chip lead heading into tomorrow with an amassed 9,125,000 in chips, but with Nicholas Blumenthal, Sean LeFort and Maria Ho still fighting for survival, it won't be too easy for Bari.
