WSOP 2011 Thread

[bennymacca]

Im surprised that noone has started a thread yet, but the world series of poker has started!

I for one love railing the tourneys on pokernews and listening to lots of different podcasts and news.

Currently running are events 2 and 3, the 25k heads up and the 1500 PLO8. the casino employees tourney is also at the final table at the moment, but i dont think many will be interested in that.

an interesting thing for this year is that pretty much every final table is being streamed live. I had a bit of a look and the casino employees table is being streamed at the moment. im not sure but i think some of them will be delayed with hole cards later on

for those that care, here are some good links

havent heard whether durrr has any big bracelet bets this year, although i think some of his last year were over 2 years. maybe there has just been bigger news this year.

anyway, durrr is chip leader in the $1500 7stud at the moment

Pretty shit that Ivey isn't playing this year.

Cody is a beat. Exploded onto the scene in the last 18 months and the triple crown.

If you haven't seen his EPT win watch it its fantastic

Jordan Young Shows the Rail What "Sick" Really Means
Posted 4 minutes ago by JohnnySack • Level 14: 1,000-2,000, 300 ante
Online poker legend Jordan "Jymaster11" Young, who is best known for his amazing back-to-back victories in the Full Tilt Sunday Brawl and the Full Tilt Sunday $750,000 Guarantee, just won a hand that no doubt reminded him of his days destroying internet fields.
After raising to 4,600 from the button, Young watched his opponent three-bet for his entire stack of 21,500 chips. With little hesitation, Young made the call and showed down his [qh] [3h]. His stunned opponent dejectedly turned over his [4c] [6s] while the railbirds began discussing Young's amazing call.
The final board of was no help to Young's disillusioned opponent and "Jymaster11" built his stack to over 230,000 chips holding only queen-high.

So I'm guessing his stack was about the 200k mark at the time, so making this call was a pretty small part if his stack. Nobody will shove light against him again lol

[bennymacca]
