Last Year's Finalist Halatenko Among Early Casualties

Christian Zetzsche

Niveau 4 : 300/600, 600 ante

Four ways to the A♥K♦9♦ flop, the action was checked around and the Q♦ followed on the turn. Stanislav Halatenko in the small blind bet 3,000 and David Eldridge then raised to 11,000 on the button. Only Halatenko called with very few chips behind and also called all-in after the 4♦ river.

Eldridge showed the A♦Q♣10♠2♦ for the ace-high flush and Halatenko flashed a jack-high flush before heading out. One year ago, Halatenko finished in third place in this event but now bowed out early on Day 1.

Another high-profile casualty was Farid Jattin, who had nearly doubled his stack only to lose it all. Hokyiu Lee was last spotted raking in the remainder of it.

WSOP History: David Sklansky Looks to Sell Rare 1982 WSOP Gold Watches to Pawn Stars

Niveau 3 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Earlier this year on an ordinary Monday afternoon, a bespectacled man walked into the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop on Las Vegas Blvd. Tucked under his arm was an uninteresting box that only he knew contained something rather interesting – a pair of gold watches dating back more than 40 years.

These were not your run-of-the-mill wristwear, but rather evidence of a unique and often overlooked time of poker history, a year when the World Series of Poker (WSOP) gold bracelet, now the game’s highest accolade, was replaced in favor of watches.

The man holding the box was David Sklansky, who in 1978 forever changed poker by advocating a mathematical approach to the game in his groundbreaking book The Theory of Poker. Nicknamed “The Mathematician,” he proved his prowess just four years later when he won two WSOP tournaments in five days.

First, he won the 1982 WSOP Event #7: $800 Mixed Doubles Limit Seven Card Stud, a tournament that paired one man with one woman, alongside Dani Kelly, and followed that up by taking down Event #12: $1,000 Limit 5-Card Draw High. A year later, the Binions reverted back to the beloved bracelets players know today, and Sklansky captured his third piece of WSOP hardware by winning Event #11: $1,000 Limit Omaha.

It was a remarkable accomplishment, and for more than four decades he’s kept safe the evidence of his victories, both of which still worked. So, why was Sklansky carrying his 1982 WSOP gold watches, two of only 15 ever awarded, into a pawn shop? Well, he was looking to sell them of course, but not to just any of the dozens of pawn shops spread across Las Vegas. Oh no, he was walking into arguably the most famous pawn shop in the world, the home to the wildly popular television show Pawn Stars, and he was there to do it with cameras rolling.

Niveau 3 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Following three limpers, Anthony Zinno in the small blind made it 3,000 to go and three opponents came along to the A♣6♣4♥ flop. It checked around and Zinno led the 4♠ turn for 6,000, picking up a single caller.

They checked the 8♦ river and Zinno could not beat Q♠10♠9♦4♣ to lose a portion of his stack.
