It's official, Event 37: $2,500 Eight-Game Mix has drawn 477 players and created a prize pool of $1,085,175. While that number is a dozen short of last year's field, it still creates a healthy $271,312 first-place prize.
The rest of the prize pool will be distributed to the top 48 finishers as follows:
We just spotted the "Godfather of Poker" Doyle Brunson in the field, which is quite the treat considering his tournament schedule is fairly light these days.
Back in 2009, Jerrod Ankenman topped a field of 412 players to win this very event, good for $241,637. Ankenman is back in action and looking to capture the title once again, and he appeared to be off to a good start.
In a recent hand, Ankenman three-bet to 500 after the cutoff had raised. The small blind called, as did Brandon Cantu in the big, and the cutoff came along, making it four-way to the flop.
The cutoff bet again when action checked to him, which Ankenman and Cantu called. When the turned, it went check-check to Ankenman and he bet. Cantu quickly folded while the cutoff made the call and then checked the river.
"I don't know what you've got," Ankenman admitted before checking behind and showing , which proved good against the cutoff's .
Meanwhile it appears both Scott Clements and Shawn Buchanan have been eliminated from the tournament.
"Is this for real?" we heard Phil Hellmuth asked over at Table 360. The 12-time bracelet winner was a late entrant and had the honor of being seated next to Gavin Smith; however, Hellmuth's rhetorical question was in reference to his hand, which he raised from the button.
Smith folded from the small blind, and after the big did the same, Hellmuth revealed . "I guess that's how you get to the final table all the time," Smith said. "You and Ivey get dealt the nuts all the time. The only difference is his hands hold up."
Speaking of Ivey, he has also entered our tournament, doing a little double dipping while Event 35: $2,500 Mixed Hold'em, where he is sixth in chips out of 21, is on dinner break.
