2007 WSOP Main Event...
With FOUR Day 1s and TWO Day 2s, I decided not to even bother with any of the reports until now.... Here are some notes of interest.
There are 797 players remaining in the Main Event. Tournament Notes (through End Day Two) -- The $10,000 buy-in championship event attracted 6,358 players. This qualifies as the second-largest live poker tournament in history. Only the 2006 main event attracted more entries (8,773). -- Former World Series of Poker Champions who played in the main event included: T.A. "Amarillo Slim" Preston, 1972 (eliminated on Day One) Doyle Brunson, 1976, 1977 (eliminated on Day One) Bobby "the Owl" Baldwin, 1978 (eliminated on Day One) Tom McEvoy, 1983 (eliminated on Day Two) Berry Johnston, 1986 (217,900 in chips starting Day Three) Johnny Chan, 1987, 1988 (eliminated on Day One) Phil Hellmuth, Jr., 1989 (eliminated on Day One) Brad Daugherty, 1991 (eliminated on Day One) Jim Bechtel, 1993 (eliminated on Day Two) Dan Harrington, 1995 (eliminated on Day Two) Huck Seed, 1996 (280,500 in chips starting Day Three) Scotty "the Prince" Nguyen, 1998 (107,800 in chips starting Day Three) Chris "Jesus" Ferguson (160,900 in chips starting Day Three) Carlos Mortensen, 2001 (254,700 in chips starting Day Three) Robert Varkonyi, 2002 (182,700 in chips starting Day Three) Chris Moneymaker, 2003 (eliminated on Day Two) Greg "Fossilman" Raymer, 2004 (eliminated on Day One) Joe Hachem, 2005 (eliminated on Day Two) Jamie Gold, 2006 (eliminated on Day One) -- Defending world champion Jamie Gold, of Malibu, CA was eliminated on Day 1-D. He sat at the ESPN feature table and played about four levels (two-thirds of the day) before busting out. -- This year's main event attracted several celebrities. The following notables were eliminated on Day One: Antonio Tarver (World Light Heavyweight Boxing Champion) Nelly (singer and four-time Grammy Award winner) Shannon Elizabeth (actress) Jose Canseco (former Major League Baseball star) Jennifer Tilly (actress) Norm McDonald (actor and comedian) Ray Romano (actor and comedian) Hank Azaria (comedian and voice of "The Simpsons") Sully Erna (songwriter and singer from Godsmack) Rick Tocchet (former NHL star) Tommy Vu (real estate tycoon and infomercial guru) These celebrities survived past Day One: Montel Williams (talk show host) – eliminated on Day Two Brad Garrett (actor and comedian) – eliminated on Day Two Jason Alexander (actor and comedian) – eliminated on Day Two These celebrities are playing at the start of Day Three: Tobey Maguire (actor) – 152,900 in chips starting Day Three Todd Phillips (film director) – 275,000 in chips starting Day Three -- This year two players, Barbara Enright and Phil Hellmuth, Jr. were inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame. Both were eliminated on Day 1-D. -- The second annual $50,000 buy-in H.O.R.S.E. championship was included on this year's schedule. Both winners from the previous two years busted out on Day One. Chip Reese and Freddy Deeb were eliminated from the main event. -- The oldest player ever to enter the WSOP in its 38-year history participated in this year's tournament as 94-year-old Jack Url, from Terre Haute, IN survived the first day, but was eliminated on Day Two. -- Michael Binger came very close to setting a new WSOP record for the "Most Cashes in a Single Year." He had eight in-the-money finishes this year. However, he busted out on Day Two of the main event, about 300 spots short of the money. He is tied for the record with Chris "Jesus" Ferguson (2003), Humberto Brenes (2006), and Phil Hellmuth (2006) – all with eight cashes in a single year. -- On Day 1-A, the first elimination of the 2007 WSOP took place when a player was dealt A-A and lost to another player with the A-K of clubs. Three clubs flopped making a flush, which meant the first casualty of the World Series went out just moments after the start of the tournament. -- A total of 621 places will receive prize money. Payouts start at $20,320. The top prize is $8,250,000. -- by Nolan Dalla |

2007 WSOP Main EVent Final Table Payouts:
* 1 - $8,250,000 * 2 - $4,840,981 * 3 - $3,048,025 * 4 - $1,852,721 * 5 - $1,255,069 * 6 - $956,243 * 7 - $705,229 * 8 - $585,699 * 9 - $525,934 now notice this year there was 6300+ players and top 5 are millionaires, back in 05 there was 5600+ players and top 9 were millioinaires, dont u guys think this years payouts are kind of bad since 9th gets only half of what the 9th place finisher back in 05 got? |
What about the 600+ players will will be getting more than they would have in 2005? Instead of basically breaking even for cashing, people now double their money.
I think it is MUCH better this way. Bubble play will certainly be a lot more profitable for the skilled players... And besides, if you are winning 8+ million for first, is that REALLY any different than winning $10 million? No way... spread that extra $2 million out across the prize pool. |
I'm surprised Gold lasted 4 levels...thought he would only make it 2 levels MAX.
I've been following the reports and its been crazy...Scotty knocked out 5 people within one hour at one point in day 1. I'm kinda sad that the bill made it drop because I always like watching big fields with a huge amount of chips at the final table..even though now theres more than last year because they start with 20k, its all good. |
The
|
Exactly. Didn't Event #3 set a record for field size other than the Main Event?
|
Yup. Biggest non-Main Event field ever in a poker tourney.
|
And the second biggest event ever.
|
Third. The previous two Main Events were both bigger.
|
Sorry you are correct, it was second now is third.
|
go adam weiss!
|
Well, it's 4th if you look at it like that.
2006 ME (2007 ME) 2005 ME 2007 Event 3 But whatever - it was a big field. |
But didn't the law make this happen? Since the law made the sites not able to directly allow the sites to register the players it indirectly affected the number of entrants because of the reason you stated above.
|
Gotta love it...
Feats of Strength It's perhaps a bit surprising that this sort of thing doesn't happen more often, but still -- the player at Table 24, Seat 3 moved all in with and was called by Jimmy Blevins holding . The flop gave both players a pair, but on the turn Blevins hit the to make trips. At which point the player facing elimination slammed his fist down on the table so hard that it made the chips on the table jump. And then, when the hit the river and he knew he'd been eliminated, he LIFTED THE ENTIRE TABLE UP OFF THE GROUND and sent the chips and cards scattering all over the place. The players were able to protect their chips to keep them from spilling into a great messy pile, and the player who lost the hand was quickly removed from the table. The security cameras caught the whole episode, and from what we've heard he's going to be paid out, and then escorted from the building. We're not mentioning his name because we want to make 300 percent sure we have the right name (the players at his table weren't sure) and we don't want to libel the innocent. |
I think the WSOP announced their no third party registration before the bill was even passed, let alone the law.
|
Oh, got those confused then didn't hear about Harrah's doing that. Does anyone know why?
|
The law has to do with banks. You're talking about a Harrah's policy change.
At least that's my understanding of it. |
I'm curious who flipped over the table, but I like this update too:
So You Wanna Be a Professional Poker Player? Huckleberry Seed just said that he needs to finish 54th in this Main Event to break even for the World Series as a whole. 54th place pays $190,053. Ouch. |
2002 redux?
All hail QTo - Varkonyi still lives!!!
Last I heard, Julian Gardner was also still alive. Is a rematch of the 2002 HU battle in the cards? |
I'm not one for violence, but I would punch the guy that went all-in with AK clubs and not even think twice about it.
|
I would imagine that the guy w/AK didn't go all-in preflop but rather got it all in after the 3 clubs flopped... sounds like someone just badly misplayed AA.
|
From ESPN:
Luke Staudenmaier, a 21-year-old online poker player from Pittsburgh, called an all-in raise before the flop with pocket aces. When his opponent showed an ace and king of clubs, Staudenmaier said he was "elated," because he was a huge favorite to double up his chip stack. But his opponent made a flush, and Staudenmaier's million-dollar dream ended. |
LOL... OK, GT can go ahead and punch the guy!
|
The guy who busted is a 2+2'er and posted about it in MTT Community. Said he'd stab somebody if the mods locked his thread. :thumbsup: |

My Final Table Picks
Unabashedly chosen for entertainment value:
1. Gus 2. Humberto 3. Scotty - OK, these first three are obvious. Great players with personality 4. Tobey Maguire - obv. for the Hollywood connection 5. Mike "I was on the draw" Souza 6. Varkonyi - the probability that Hellmuth's head might actually explode is worth many points in the ratings. 7. Carlos Mortenson - maybe my weakest choice, but maybe the presence of "The Matador" will prompt references to "TILT" 8. Mimi Tran 9. Isaac "Ike" Haxton The last two createthe Barry Greenstein connection. Mimi is obvious, but if you don't follow that other poker forum you might not know that there was some major cyber-friction between Ike and Joe Sebok. Besides, Ike's got game and Norman Chad will make many comments about his hair. |
I want to see Sorrel Mizzi at the Final Table. The kid can play.
JC Tran was my pick to take down the whole thing.... he was knocked out yesterday. I don't kow that there has been anyone in poker playing better than him for the past year. Not only is he at (or near - I haven't checked lately) the top of the CardPlayer standings, but he does ok online too. He took down the WCOOP Main Event last year, as you may recall. I just had a fun idea for a prop bet. I like it so much, I'm going to start a new thread for it. :thumbsup: |
I had JC on my A list for every NL event in the Fantasy league. I was sorry to see him go, too. |
Ditto.

Random notes... Wait until you read about the blind guy. Whoa.
And only 6 chicas left. End of Day Three – Tournament Notes: -- The 806 players who started Day Three played down to the final 337 over the course of about 12 hours. On Day Three, play ended at 12:30 am. Day Four will play 4.5 levels and will end at approximately midnight. -- The current chip leader is Dario Minieri, from Rome Italy. He enjoyed an amazing day – rocketing up from 343,700 in chips from the start of play to 2,398,000. -- The first player to cross the one-million chip threshold was Kenny Tran, from Arcadia, CA. He is currently ranked seventh in chips. Chip leader Minieri exceeded the two-million mark at about 11:30 pm near the end of the day. -- Another former world champion hit the rail. Ex-champ Chris "Jesus" Ferguson (2000) was eliminated during the first hour of play during Day Three. -- There are five former world champions still alive in the main event. They include: Huck Seed (544,000), Robert Varkonyi (424,000), Scotty Nguyen (321,000), Carlos Mortensen (284,000), Berry Johnston (203,000) -- Players entered the money spots about half an hour into the second round of Day Three. The unfortunate nine "bubble" players (those nine spots who were eliminated just outside the money) will compete in a special "Bubble Event" sponsored by Milwaukee's Best Light beer. The winner of the nine-player event will officially be qualified as "Entrant Number 1" into the 2008 WSOP main event – with the entry fee posted by Milwaukee's Best Light. The winner will also receive a year's supply of beer. -- The ensure that all players had a shot at prize money, play went hand-for-hand for nearly two full hours. It took 16 hands to eliminate 12 players to finally get into the money. -- The official 622nd place finisher (one spot out of the prize money) was John Sigan, from Strongsville, OH. -- The most extraordinary feat of the tournament thus far has been the incredible success of Hal Lubasky, from Las Vegas, NV. Lubasky is legally blind. He has a degenerative eye disease causing him to lose most of his eyesight, except for blurred colors. At the poker table Lubasky uses a "reader" – which means a person sits behind him at tableside and whispers the hole cards into Lubasky's ear. From that point forward, all table decisions are dictated by Lubasky, so as not to violate the "one player to a hand" rule. His reader is named Jason, who works at a local bar frequented by Lubasky. In what is his first-ever WSOP event, Lebarski has now been guaranteed prize money. Currently, he has 409,000 in chips. Poker has given me back my life," Lebarski told an ESPN interviewer. -- One celebrity was eliminated on Day Three: Todd Phillips (film director) – finished in 380th place The celebrities are still playing at the start of Day Four: Tobey Maguire (actor) – 131,900 in chips Sully Erna (songwriter and singer from Godsmack) – 135,000 in chips Sam Simon (television producer) – 172,000 -- There are six women still playing in the main event. -- The World Series of Poker has become a truly international spectacle. There are 27 different nations represented among the final 337 players in the main event. About 20 percent of the field, 74 players of the remaining 337 (at the start of Day Four) are international players. |
FYP |
Actually, that's Nollan Dalla's P. My apologies for accidently cutting off his name.
But yes, I agree. |
Very cool that Hal Lubasky is still in it. I heard about him earlier. I hope he gets some feature table time. I look forward to seeing him the broadcast.

I am rooting for Lee Watkinson. I respect players who handle themselves well at the tables, and I think he exemplifies that. Tight/aggressive, solid, consistent............those are qualities I admire and hope to emulate.
Scotty Nguyen at the FT would be great to see as well. |
I think it's pretty impressive that 1/6 of the remaining field are former bracelet winners.

He is married with one child. Among his prior accomplishments, Kalmar was once the lead singer in a punk rock band. Before entering this year's world championship, Kalmar admitted to enduring a "terrible" run of bad fortune at this year's World Series of Poker. He failed to cash a single time in the preliminary tournaments. But everything changed the night before the main event began. Dejected, Kalmar tried to switch his airline ticket and return home early. But he was told the cost to change his departure from Las Vegas back to England would be about $600. So instead, Kalmar decided to enter the last mega-satellite at the Rio just before the start of the main event. He ended up winning a $10,000 seat. And now, here he is at the final table ten days later – third among the chip leaders. Seat 2: Lee Childs Hometown: Reston, VA Chip Count: 13,240,000 Lee Childs is a 35-year-old aspiring poker professional from suburban Washington, DC. He is married with no children.

He worked on "The JASON Project," which is an educational foundation for students dedicated to scientific expeditions and research founded by the person who first located the Titantic. Childs has been on his own for a few months – and is pursuing one of his dreams which is to play in the World Series of Poker.

He formed a company with 12 employees, but eventually went bankrupt. Just four years ago, Hilm was at his lowest point – selling coffee machines at grocery stores to make Christmas money so he could buy presents for his family. Then, Hilm discovered poker on the Internet. Before long, he was earning enough money to make a decent living. And now, he is the largest stack at the final table of the main event.

He is pledging 10 percent of his winnings from this tournament to three different charities – the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Feed the Children, and the Ronald McDonald House. Seat 5: Raymond Rahme Hometown: Johannesburg, South Africa Chip Count: 16,320,000 Raymond Rahme is the first person ever to appear at the final table of the main event from the continent of Africa .

Prior to his retirement, Rahme owned and operated a bed and breakfast inn. Although he played stud for three decades, Rahme has only been playing the game of hold'em for about two years. Yet, Rahme has already enjoyed significant tournament success. He's taken first and second place at major events held in South Africa. He also took fourth place in the "All Africa Poker Championship" recently, which was the largest poker tournament ever held in Africa. As part of his prize, he received a travel package to Las Vegas and an entry into the 2007 main event. And now, he is ranked fourth in the chip count at the start of the final table. Seat 6: Tuan Lam Hometown: Mississauga, Ontario ( Canada) Chip Count: 21,315,000 Tuan Lam was born in Vietnam on New Years Day in 1966, during the war. He eventually immigrated to Canada at the age of 19. He now lives in the Toronto area where he plays poker professionally. Prior to turning pro, Lam worked as a general laborer for a metal company. Then, he learned how to play poker from friends and has made it all the way to the final table of the 2007 main event. This is his third year to attend the WSOP. His prior cashes were 46th place in an event last year and 78th place in a WSOP tournament held in 2005. He is married with two children.

He is married and has two children. Kravchenko became the first Russian citizen in history to win a WSOP gold bracelet when he was victorious in the $1,500 buy-in Omaha High-Low championship at this year's WSOP – in what was the largest Omaha High-Low field in history. Russian immigrants have won previously at the World Series. But Kravchenko's victory was clearly a milestone. Kravechenko has an impressive history of poker tournament wins in Europe. He won the Austrian Masters Pot-Limit Championship in 2001. He also won the Russian Pot-Limit Championship held that same year. His also won a Limit Hold'em title at the Helsinki Frezeout in 2002. He has cashed over 30 times in what is becoming an illustrious poker career. This is Kravchenko's fifth time to cash at the WSOP in 2007. Kravchnko faces the biggest challenge of any player in the finale, as the lowest stack at the table. Seat 8: Lee Watkinson Hometown: Cheney, WA Chip Count: 9,925,000 Lee Watkinson is a 40-year-old poker pro, businessman, and animal rights activist from Cheney, WA. He is one of only two players at the final table who currently owns a WSOP gold bracelet. In 2006, Watkinson won the Pot-Limit Omaha World Championship. He owns a few businesses as well, including a record company and a clothing line - which were started exclusively with his poker winnings. The Washington State native holds a degree in economics, which perhaps explains why Watkinson is so astute as an investor and poker professional. Yet, often when he is interviewed Watkinson is quick to shift everyone's attention to a greater, more humanitarian purpose. Watkins and his fiancé Timmi DeRosa share a commitment to rescuing and retiring captive chimpanzees, many of which have been used in everything from movies to research laboratories. Watkinson and DeRosa told about how chimpanzees are not as useful as they become older and are commonly discarded. So a few years ago, the couple made a commitment to rescue as many creatures as possible and eventually build an animal sanctuary. "All the animals need our help," Watkinson says. "But we really try to focus on the chimpanzees." But -- when it comes to poker, Watkinson is not monkeying around. He arrives seventh in the chip count. Seat 9: Hevad Khan Hometown: Poughkeepsie, NY Chip Count: 9,205,000 Hevad "Rain" Khan is a 22-year-old professional poker originally from Poughkeepsie, NY. He attended college at the State University of New York-Albany. He has since moved around the country, living in both the San Francisco bay area, and Las Vegas. Khan's claim to fame before arriving at this final table was his extraordinary ability to play multiple poker games simultaneously. In what can only be described as a prodigal Bobby Fischer-like capability, Khan has played in as many as 43 poker games all at once on his home computer. Today, he must play in just one poker game – the biggest and most glamorous event in the world for the world championship. Khan arrives eighth in the chip count at the start of the final table. |
