WSOP Random Observation #6 – Poker with the Stars

Take a walk by the Pavilion Room, however, and you’ll see a whole bunch of spectators, writers and TV personnel crowded around Table #371 Red.
The $5k No-Limit Hold’em event started today in the Amazon Room, and early in Day 1 a dream table for spectators came together, right by the rail for everyone to get a look.
At last check we had Phil Hellmuth, Chris “Jesus” Ferguson, David Williams and Shannon Elizabeth all at the same table.
Some of the tables right around the area are being broken up as we speak, so we don’t know how much longer it’s going to last.
We caught up to the table just as the TV cameras were catching Hellmuth telling a bad beat story, to no one in particular.
“He had kings,” Hellmuth was saying. “All the money in the pot. Blah Blah Blah.”
Hellmuth actually said the ‘Blah Blah Blah’ part, and although we missed most of the story, whatever it was had at least one player at the table cracking up.
Looks like we’ll have to wait for the TV coverage to hear the entire tale from Hellmuth.

Across the Amazon: Rambunctious Rail Cheer On Dempsey
June 7, 2010 by admin
Filed under poker news
It’s been a great WSOP for the Brits so far – and every time a British player has run deep, he has been surrounded by a wall of noise coming from his fellow players.
Right now, James Dempsey looks like he may be the latest British player to snag a bracelet – currently chip leader in the $1.5k PLHE event and his rail is no exception to the norm.
His fellow British players, including Chris “Moorman1″ Moorman, Paul, “Pab” Foltyn, Nicky “CodMeharly” Evans and James Mitchell watching have been drinking heavily it seems and are really enjoying the moment, relishing every pot Dempsey picks up with a big cheer.
It’s creating a great atmosphere – even dragging people away from the $10k Stud Championship Final Table to have a look at what’s causing all the commotion.
If Dempsey wins, don’t stand too close. You might not hear too well tomorrow!

Top 5 Online Players to Watch at WSOP 2010
May 12, 2010 by admin
Filed under poker news
5. Stephen “MrTimCaum” O’Dwyer - MTC has been playing more and more live tournaments with no real huge score yet. Despite not getting that big breakthrough victory he has stacked over $600k in live winnings.
Final tables at the $5k NAPT Venetian main event, the $15k WPT Five Diamond and the $10k Heads-Up Championship at the ’09 WSOP have put O’Dwyer within sight of that big one but so far he’s fallen short.
I wouldn’t count on a player with his skill set being kept off the board too much longer. Look for him to put up a very impressive 2010 WSOP.
4. Dan “djk123″ Kelly – Known as Imabigkidnow on FTP, djk123 has over $1.2 million in Online tournament winnings in the past year alone, the biggest cash dollar wise being a fourth-place finish in the WCOOP Main Event for $643,200.
To give you an idea of his skills, Annette Obrestad was once asked who she would most hate to be out of position against. Dan Kelly was one of four names she mentioned.
If Dan can bring even a little of that success from the online tables to the Rio this summer than he’s sure to post some results.
3. Chris “Moorman1″ Moorman – One of the most consistent MTT grinders online Moorman1 won the PocketFives.com PLB award in 2009 and has won an estimated $4 million life time online.
Now, as a member of the DoylesRoom Brunson 10 Chris Moorman will be looking to play a full schedule at the WSOP and no doubt pick up more than his fair of cashes.
We made him a 2009 WSOP Best Bet and he didn’t exactly come through in the clutch. We’ve got faith, however. This is his year.
2. Steve “gboro780″ Gross – Another Brunson10 member Steve “gboro780″ Gross has been destroying online mtts for five years now and in that time has banked nearly $3 million in online earnings.
He’s currently leading the PocketFives leader board and is looking to continue that success come WSOP time.
1. Andrew “Luckychewy” Lichtenberger – No longer a sleeper pick after going super deep in the Main Event last year and most recently winning the Caesars Palace $5k Circuit event, LuckyChewy is one sick online player.
But, unlike the rest of this list, Luckychewy isn’t an MTT player online. He’s a high stakes cash game player, specializing in heads-up.
He’s proven that the skills he’s taken from those games transfers over to the live arena and, unlike most high stakes cash game players, luckychewy can get fired up to play tournaments.
It’ll be tough to top his last year’s performance of a 2nd in the $5k shootout and 18th in the main event but you can bet that luckychewy will try. He certainly has the skills to do it.
