2009 World Series of Poker
Event 16 - $1,500 Seven Card Stud
Day: 2
Level: 15
Blinds: 0/0
Ante: 0
Levi Eliminated; Enright Crippled
Barbara Enright is also on life support. She went all the way to the river with Jason Mercier (who already has one gold bracelet this WSOP). Mercier bet every street after raising third street, and Enright check-called the whole way. She started with split tens and couldn't improve to beat Mercier's buried aces.
Enright has just 8,000 chips.
Soulier Next Out the Door
Checking in on the Champ (Redux)
On the other end of the room are Eric and Rod Pardey. Eric is the nephew of Rod; Rod is a former bracelet winner, having taken down the $2,500 Seven-Card Stud event in 1991 and 1994. Not only are the two Pardeys related, they're sitting next to each other!
Huge Pot to Juanda
Fifth street is where everything went crazy. Boyd's board showed x-x / . He bet and was raised by Juanda's x-x / . That raise folded Frangos but brought a three-bet from Boyd. Juanda put in the fourth bet with another raise; this time Boyd just called.
Boyd check-called sixth street ( for him, for Juanda) and the river. Juanda showed down in the hole for a full house, nines full of eights. That massive pot pumped him up to 138,000 in chips and dropped Boyd all the way to 58,000.
Enright Finally Knuckles Under
