Tough table - Pescatori, Negreanu, Harman & Doyle

Bracelet Spouses

[user22113]

There are only two husband and wife pairs who have won WSOP bracelets, and all four are in the building. Two of them, Harry Thomas (1985, 7S); and Jerri Thomas (2000, 7S), are in this event. Max Stern (1995, O8; 1997, 7HL; 1997, NLH) is in another event across the room, and Maria Stern (1997, 7S) is also in the room somewhere.

Andy Black's Photo Holding Its Own

[user22113]

Andy Black has taped a large photo of himself on his chair, because he's also playing in the $2,000 NLH event simultaneously. It remains to be seen whether Andy Black's photo can outlast him.

"He's the Golden Boy"

[user22113]

Phil Ivey raises on seventh street versus a player who has a made flush, and the player calls. Ivey turns over 9-9-5 with a 9 and a 5 up for a disguised full house.

"He's the golden boy," another player says. Ivey flashes a rare smile as he rakes in the pot.

Gus Escapes Quads

[user22113]

Gus Hansen folds to a raise on seventh street and the player flips over tens in the hole for quads. Hansen got away from it, but the pot was already pretty significant.

Kessler Picks Up Chips

[user22113]

Allen Kessler wins a nice pot on seventh street with x-x- {8-Hearts}

-x. His opponent has x-x- {10-Diamonds}

-x. Kessler shows 7-8 for two pair.

Allen Kessler's often confused with Robert Varkonyi, the 2002 WSOP champion. Often he will come up to press row and say, "Someone finally called me Robert Varkonyi. It only took 8 hours."
