WSOP Day 1-C Updates

OK Cardschatters. Instead of burying the results from day 3 of the WSOP in the other thread, I am starting a fresh thread for updates. The updates will begin around 3:00pm EST, 12:00pm PST (Vegas time) and continue again until the wee hours of Sunday morning.

For those that don't know, the field of about 5600 entrants were divided up into 3 heats or flights, labelled 1a, 1b, and todays, 1c. They are playing down each day to about 650 players (or less) then combining the three groups on Sunday, July 10.

There are some big names playing today such as Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer, Marcel Luske, and more. And don't forget the farm animals...lots of fish and donkeys. Anyone feel free to post anything related or information here, even discussion as long as it stays on topic. Lets give people a reason to come here to get their information and great discussion.

A few more pros to watch for today if you're fans of them:
Billy Baxter
Simon Trumper
Vaswani
TJ Cloutier
Joe Cassidy
John Juanda
Hoyt Corkins
Kenna James
Huck Seed
Chau Giang
Mike Matusow (The Mouth, baby)

Updates should be rolling soon.

11:45am PST
Mike "The Mouth" Matusow lives up to his name, earning 4, 10 minute penalties for dropping F-bombs. Accused of throwing his cards, the dealer called floor, he let one fly. When penalized for the throwing (10 mins) and the first F word (10 mins) he replied, "that's F'n great" (10 more mins). As he was walking away he dropped one more for good measure (40 mins total). Get em' Mike. That rule is lame as FCUK!

If you want up to date information, just go to www.cardplayer.com, since diabloblanco is just copying and pasting their updates...lol

12:28pm PST
Howard Lederer is evidentally playing super agressive having been all-in once, noone calling, and making bets of over 5,000 twice already. Jesus Lederer, looks like your man has some serious cajones today.

Chicubus...actually I'm getting the info from more than one place and doing it as a service to people interested. If you aren't then Feck off. Some are. Be gone with you.

Also, this is a discussion thread. If anyone wants to discuss a hand or particular elimination, then they can. Do me a favor douchebag and go away.

Oh, and I haven't copy and pasted a single word. I am on a mobile device and don't have that function, smartguy.

Take it easy big guy...I meant no insult.

I just wanted to give other readers a good website in case they wanted to check things out for themselves...I didnt mean to downplay your updates.

I started this as a discussion type thread, not just for the updates and people were asking where to get info. I told them about cardplayer in yesterdays thread. I also go to a couple other forums and obviously wasn't going to send them there. We had a decent discussion in yesterdays thread and as the main event progresses and some big names start going after each other I think the threads will get a lot of traffic and some good disussion/debate. If you meant no offense then my bad.

If you ask me, today was by far the toughest round of competition talent wise. What do you guys think? This flight was full of top-notch pros.

CARDPLAYER UPDATE
Table 83 seat 9 just had a tray of drinks dumped right on his head by a cocktail waitress. Four open Coronas, a couple of Cokes and a few other drinks went all over the poor fellow. Talk about shitty luck. Cardplayer.com saw fit to post that as a stand alone update. LOL.

Hey diablanco, Great stuff you have going here! I agree with you about the stiff competition in this round. It has to be by far the best round. If I were there I would rather be in any of the other rounds.

Look at this listand I prob forgot someone)
Matthew Hilger
Phil Ivey
John Phan
Kisty Gazes
John D' Agostino
Huck Seed
Howard Lederer
Marcel Luske
John Juanda
Mike Matusow
Tom McEvoy
Robert Williamson III
Doyle Brunson
Minh Nguyen

I hope Doyle can come back and double up before the days out. I want to see him at the final table!

Poor guy with the drink tray. I hope they at least put his name on Cardplayer.com. Well, maybe he'll make the TV cut on ESPN. Probably not thogh they cut a lot out!

Thanks for these updates!!!!!!!!!!!

No problem man, and yea, this is a tough bunch. Much more so than the other two in my opinion. Keep checking back and feel free to add to this discussion or update.

Doyle is now gone.

Eliminations
Mel Judah and Doyle Brunson are both on the rail.

Yep, damn.

Mark Sief
Billy Baxter
Gabriel Thayler
All eliminated...

Go Howard go! Lederer is the man. He´s going to reach the final table this year, since Doyle is out now nobody is going to catch a river flush against Lederer´s trips.
I also like Marcel very much, he´s so funny and he plays a very good poker.
I have a question diablo: Layne Flack was busted or not? He´s playing now at FTP.

Ummmm, Flack busted out I believe, ill check though and post it.

Is Kristy Gazes the only name female left in the tourney? I know Liebert, Ng, Jett, and Harman are out. Actually, I think that french lady is still in it, no? I think her last name is Mercier or something. Go Phil I.!

Layne Flack $61,000

As for the women, what about?:

Shannon Elizabeth $8,900
Mimi Tran $14,000
Kathy Kolberg $16,000
Clonie Gowen $18,000
Cecilia Mortensen $25,300
Liz Lieu $64,000

All of them will be around for Day 2 on Sunday.

I think annie duke is still left at least

I thought so too. She is listed at 19K in the 1:02 update, but not in the 2:20 final chip count. Plus no mention of her in the Live Updates of getting busted. So who knows?

And frankly, who cares. I hear she is a dope anyway.

Go CLONIE! (When is Maxim or FHM going to do a spread on her?)

i hope lederer does good.

wats up ivey and hellmuth??

Is Shannon E. still in for sure? I thought she was missing from the list at the WSOP site?

wat about hellmuth

Hellmuth busted out late last night before the very end. Ivey is still in tonight and in good chip position.

Actor James Woods has busted out after the dinner break.

shit... I like ure coverage tho


wat of phil gordon??

Ram Vaswani
Hoyt Corkins
Vinnie Vinh

All recently eliminated. Chip counts coming in a few minutes.

good

GO IVEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its due time for him although hes still what...early 20s??
hes gonna be a force to be reckoned with in the future
hope he takes it

great updates diabloblanco way to go and goodluck

Don't want to give the impression that I'm actually there, just posting updates gathered from the net here for members and discussion.

Well, I just figure she would be one of the 3 people getting most of the ESPN camera time. All the previews show her, Ivey and Hellmuth.

Last years 2 million all or nothing game on ESPN she got in Phils head and played him perfectly.

Hmmm I think next year a lot of us should make it there .

Just to say hey we did it at least once.

for you hard work, and input, dont get much time in the day, what with work, so its great to get the up dates here, once again many thanks
