Ils ne sont plus que 10 en lice à l'issue du Jour 2 de l'Event WSOP #21: $1,500 8-Game Mix 6-Handed qui a rassemblé 472 entrants. Fabrice Soulier et Alexandre Luneau sont respectivement 5e et 7e du classement provisoire et assurés de remporter au moins 10.144$.
Gregory Jamison a éliminé deux joueurs sur la même main en fin de journée pour s'emparer de la tête du classement... un bon présage pour les Français puisque le chipleader n'a jamais gagné aux WSOP, battu par David Benyamine en 2008 sur le Championship Omaha hi-lo en heads-up !
La sortie conjuguée de Vinicius Collaco et Joseph Couden en 11e et 12e position a signifié la fin de journée. Parmi les survivants, Christopher Vitch sera avec Fabsoul l'unique autre joueur à chercher une deuxième victoire aux WSOP.
Daniel Negreanu a en effet échoué dans sa conquête d'un 7e bracelet. Le Canadien s'est arrêté aux trois dernières tables (15e). Un parcours toujours mieux que celui du November Nine et runner-up du Main Event WSOP 2015, Joshua Beckley, bubble-boy du tournoi.
Tom Schneider (22e), Shaun Deeb (26e), Joe Serock (33e), Mike Watson (37e), Stephen Chidwick (38e), Vladimir Shchemelev (39e), Matt Grapenthien (41e), Georgios Sotiropoulos (42e), Chance Kournuth (45e), Naoya Kihara (43e), Jerry Wong (48e), David "ODB" Baker (53e), Jennifer Tilly(58e), Jimmy Fricke(59e) et Sam Grafton (69e) signent une nouvelle place payée sur un tournoi qui reprend à 23 heures, heure française.
This biggest pot of the tournament thus far has emerged a few moments ago, in the classic No-Limit Hold'em fights. The massive clash resulted in a three-way all-in and a double elimination, provided by Gregory Jamison who is now at the helm with roughly 700,000 chips in front of him.
Jamison himself started the hand with a raise to 13,000 from the hijack. Cutoff, Joseph Couden flatted and big blind Vinicius Collaco squeezed all in for just under 50,000. Jamison quickly reshoved and put Couden in agony as Jamison had him covered.
Couden stood up in disbelief and then sit/stand on his chair. Then he took a pile of his chips and placed them in the middle, causing "wows" from the spectating players at the table. The cards were turned up.
Vinicius Collaco:
Joseph Couden:
Gregory Jamison:
The flop nearly eliminated Collaco from contention but it brought a huge sweat for Couden and Jamison, who were in for a whopping side pot of about a 500,000 size.
Couden's open-ended never arrived as the turn and river both bricked, leaving Jamison's set of jacks winning.
Collaco and Couden were knocked out in the same hand for a same payout, taking $7,684 apiece. Couden started the hand with a bigger stack so he's the higher-ranked player, written down as 11th place finisher.
Christopher Sensoli raised to 11,000 from under the gun, and Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 35,000 from the big blind. Sensoli called.
The flop was . Negreanu moved all in, and Sensoli quickly called.
Sensoli:
Negreanu:
Negreanu's double-suited aces were in the lead, but Sensoli had a myriad of outs to eliminate the six-time bracelet winner.
"Deuce," called Negreanu, and the turn was the . "Deuce-deuce, that's all I need." The river was the , though, completeing Sensoli's flush and sending Negreanu to the exit.
Naoya Kihara was getting short and bet on fourth and fifth street. As sixth street was being dealt, Scott Bohlman joined the table, and wished Kihara luck as he bet his last 3,400. Both opponents called.
The remaining two players checked seventh street. Kihara showed for buried aces.
"One pair," said Kihara before sweating his final card. "Do I improve?" he showed a .
Both players shook their heads and tabled their hands; Shchemelev with and Celikovsky and Kihara tripled up.
"Remember me on the podium!" said Bohlman, as Kihara stacked his chips.
Jennifer Tilly's 8-Game run is now over. Clifford Ziff (button) and Jason Viriyayuthakorn (big blind) were against Tilly (cutoff) in her final hand, and the two tangled for a side pot.
Viriyayuthakorn bet on the flop and Ziff fired back with a raise. Viriyayuthakorn matched the bid and they continued on the turn.
Viriyayuthakorn led the once again and Ziff just called this time.
A third barrel and a call followed on a blank river, which didn't help any of the players improve their hand as Viriyayuthakorn turned over for a turned wheel to scoop the pot. Ziff flashed his in frustration and Tilly opened for a top set before walking to the payout cage.
That hand saw Ziff drop down to his last 12,400 while Viriyayuthakorn soared over 100,000.
Jason Viriyayuthakorn brought in before Jennifer Tilly completed. Viriyayuthakorn bet on fourth street and both players called. The two checked fifth street. Tilly made sixes up on sixth street and check-called a bet from her opponent. She repeated the action on seventh street.
"Pair," announced Tilly.
"House," announced Viriyayuthakorn, showing for a full house queens full of tens. There was no low and Tilly was left with 7,000 hand for hand.
A field of 104 players will retake their seats today with Day 2 of the $1,500 8-Game Mix 6-Handed with a whole host of star names still in the hunt for a bracelet.
While the likes of Vanessa Selbst, Paul Volpe, Max Pescatori, and David Bach all exited on Day 1, there are still plenty of players with rich and storied poker-playing careers still in.
Last year's $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball bracelet winner Christopher Vitch leads after eliminating the aforementioned Bach in one of the last hands of the night. Joining him in Day 2 is six-time bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu who, after getting an all-in through early on, never looked in trouble on his way to bagging up an above-average stack.
Other players include Frenchmen Fabrice Soulier and Alex Luneau, Sam Grafton, Tom Schneider, Carol Fuchs, Naoya Kihara, Josh Beckley, Eli Elezra, Shaun Deeb, David "ODB" Baker, Jimmy Fricke, and Mike Watson.
Also in the field is Jason and Natasha Mercier, who bagged up near-identical stacks. We will have to wait and see how their respective stacks trend when plays gets underway at 2 p.m. later today.
