Event 57 - $10,000 World Championship No Limit Hold'em

Day 1c Completed

That's the Closing Bell!

Joe Cada
Joe Cada
Ok! We've reached the end of the third of our 2009 World Series of Poker Day 1 flights. Day 1c saw the biggest field so far, with 1,696 players descending on the Amazon and Brasilia Rooms at the Rio Convention Center, with 1,106 surviving the day. Tucked among those 1,696 were some of the biggest names in the poker world: Hellmuth. Negreanu. Duke. Lederer.

We had a change in scheduling today. In order to accomodate the sure-to-be larger Day 2b field, the tournament staff elected to play five levels to try to get the field down to a manageable size. That Day 2b field will play four levels on Wednesday in order to sync themselves with the Day 2a field (which will play five levels).

With one extra level of play, we saw some slightly larger end-of-day chip stacks today than we did the last two days. The player that we believe leads all Day 1c runners is Joe Cada with about 187,000 chips, but there are several other people all within striking distance of that total.

One name lurking at 145,000 chips is a man who already has three gold bracelets this summer -- Jeff Lisandro. We'll be keeping a very close eye on his stack over the next several days to see what kind of a run he can make at poker history.

Tomorrow, the last of the hopefuls will kick off Day 1d play at noon local time. We have heard unsubstantiated reports that already more than 2,400 players have registered for Day 1d. That number is sure to climb overnight and into the early hours of the morning. The tournament staff may be faced with the unenviable problem of having to cut off registrations due to simple space limitations.

Be sure to join us again tomorrow at noon for Day 1d!

Hellmuth Slips, Buddy

Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth
Before the flop, Phil Hellmuth raised to 1,200 from the cutoff seat. The small blind made the call, heads up to the flop.

It showed up {10-Clubs} {10-Spades} {7-Spades}. The small blind checked and called a bet of 1,350 from Hellmuth, and the turn came the {K-Clubs}. After another check, Hellmuth fired a second bullet, 2,200 this time, and his opponent called once again.

The river card was the {Q-Diamonds}, and this time the small blind led out with a healthy bet of 8,500. Hellmuth snap-mucked and started talking. It was difficult to make out his exact words, but the word "buddy" was in there more than a few times. The jist of the conversation was Phil saying, "I promise I'll have the chance to bust you." A spectator on the rail told Phil that there were only a few minutes left in the day. Phil replied with something to the effect of, "It doesn't matter. He's on a mission to have me bust him."

*****

Just a few hands later, Hellmuth again opened the pot for 1,200, and again his 'buddy' called from the cutoff seat. The flop ran down {9-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {10-Spades}, and Hellmuth led out with a bet of 1,800. His opponent raised to 5,300, and Hellmuth hemmed and hawed and called. The turn card came the {3-Spades}, and Hellmuth passed the bet. His opponent made it 5,600, and Hellmuth put in the call. Both players checked the {5-Spades} on the river.

Hellmuth showed down {J-Hearts} {8-Clubs} for the flopped straight. But alas, his opponent had run down the four-flush with {K-Clubs} {Q-Spades}, sending Hellmuth spinning off into one of his world-famous tirades.

He's back down around 25,000 just as play wraps up.

Three More Hands

With ten minutes remaining in Level 5 the tournament clock was paused and a card drawn to determine the number of hands that will be played on each table before wrapping for the night. It was a three, ergo, three more hands.

Recognizing Kent Senter

Kent Senter
Kent Senter
We told you earlier about the story of Kent Senter, the man who was recently diagnosed with a rare illness and is with us today to fulfill his lifelong dream of playing in the Main Event. Media Director Nolan Dalla just took a quick pause to recognize Senter and present him to the room. Senter looks like he's headed for Day 2, and his introduction drew the largest applause that we've seen so far in this event as the entire room stood and cheered enthusiastically to lend their support to Senter and his lovely wife who is with us as well.

Many times it's issues away from the felt that remind people what a true and special occasion the WSOP is. Everyone's rooting for you, Kent.

Jungblut Brutalized by the River

There were 11,000 chips in the pot already when the dealer placed the river card out, completing a board of {J-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}. Brett Jungblut's opponent checked, then called a bet of 11,000. Jungblut showed down {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}, but was rivered by his opponent's {9-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}, a rivered set of nines.

Jungblut retains just 14,000 chips.

A Long, Painful Decision for Lieu

Liz Lieu
Liz Lieu
On a board of {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs}, Liz Lieu bet out for 2,600 after her opponent checked. He went into the tank for nearly a minute before min-raising Lieu to 5,200.

That move put the decision on Lieu, and she took more than a minute before three betting for an additional 6,000. More than another minute passed before her opponent came over the top again, moving his last 17,300 into the middle.

Calling would cost Lieu most of her stack and she again went into the tank, taking another two minutes before finally mucking her hand. She's left with about 19,000.

Thaler Must Show First

On a board of {7-Clubs} {7-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}, Gabe Thaler fired 2,500 into his opponent from the position of the small blind. The other player was acting out of the big blind and made the call. After the river came the {3-Hearts}, Thaler began playing with his chips for a minute or two. He then tapped the table for a check. His opponent checked behind after a moment of hesitation.

"Queen high." announced Thaler, but didn't flip over his hand. His opponent nodded his head and waited for Thaler to turn up his hand. Thaler then turned up {Q-?} {J-?} for exactly what he said, queen high. The opponent waited to see this and then rolled over his hand, {6-Spades} {6-Hearts} for a pair a sixes and the winning hand.
