WSOP Main Event Day 8 - The November Nine
6,865 men and women entered the 2011 WSOP Main Event over four starting days with just $10,000 and a dream. That dream was to make the November Nine and come back to the Rio in a few months to play for the bracelet.
Nine men (and sadly no women) have now made that dream a reality:
Seat 1: Matt Giannetti (24,750,000)
Seat 2: Badih Bounahra (19,700,000)
Seat 3: Eoghan O'Dea (33,925,000)
Seat 4: Phil Collins (23,875,000)
Seat 5: Anton Makiievskyi (13,825,000)
Seat 6: Samuel Holden (12,375,000)
Seat 7: Pius Heinz (16,425,000)
Seat 8: Ben Lamb (20,875,000)
Seat 9: Martin Staszko (40,175,000)
Blinds start at 250,000-500,000, 50,000 ante when players return.

Eliminations were at a fast pace in the early going on day 8 as we lost Chris Moore, Aleksandr Mozhnyakov and Gionni Demers to get down to two tables. 29 year old professional and well known online player Bryan Devonshire busted in 12th, much to the dismay of the forums.
John Hewitt was the player with the unwanted achievement of making the final table but not the November Nine, as he busted in 10th after shoving 33 into the KJ of O'Dea, who promptly turned a straight to end play and set the November Nine.
Each of the remaining players are now guaranteed at least the $782,115 for ninth place. Everyone who makes it past that point will make at least a million dollars with $8.7m up top for the winner:
1st: $8,711,956
2nd: $5,430,928
3rd: $4,019,635
4th: $3,011,661
5th: $2,268,909
6th: $1,720,396
7th: $1,313,851
8th: $1,009,910
9th: $782,115
Sam Holden is our last remaining Brit at a very international final table. When you consider the percentage of players who play in the WSOP that are American, only three have managed to make the November Nine. There is one player from the Czech Republic, one Irishman, one player from Belize, one from the Ukraine, one from the UK and one from Germany.
The average age at the final table is just 28, and that's bumped up significantly by 49 year old Badih Bounahra who is, not surprisingly, the first player from Belize to make a Main Event final table.
It's the toughest final table lineup for a few years. Even though we have no Ivey or Grinder, there isn't really any weak spots, everyone seems at least somewhat competent and while there will clearly be favourites, I'd be interested to see the lines set, I think it could be quite close to chip counts.
That's nealry it from me this WSOP until November, but I'll probably do a November Nine profile at some point over the next couple of days.

WSOP Main Event Day 7
Day 7 didn't play down to 27 as I'd previously thought as just 22 remained when play stopped. The top 5 going into day 8 line up as follows:
Anton Makievskyi - 21m
Eoghan O'Dea - 19m
Khoa Nguyen - 16.4m
Andrey Pateychuk - 16.2m
Ben Lamb - 14.7m
There is now only one Brit left in the field, Sam Holden is left flying the flag for our humble nation and is currently nursing a short stack of 6m.
Ukranian Makievskyi, who really isn't helping the announcers with his name, is sitting on top of the chip counts due in large part to the 20m chip pot he played after flopping a full house against Chris Moore's trips. The money went in on the flop and Makievskyi took down the huge pot, eliminating Moore in the process.
WSOP Main Event golden couple David "Doc" Sands and Erika Moutinho busted within a few hands of eachother. It's always good to be around people who know how it feels to bust the main event when you get knocked out yourself, but that must be one sad hotel room right now.
Also hitting the rail on day 7 were JP Kelly, Erick Lindgren, David Bach and the remarkable Andrew Brokos (known as Foucault online) who busted in 53rd this year, 87th in 2010 and 35th in 2008. That's a truly impressive run from someone who clearly has playing against the type of players in the WSOP Main Event nailed.
Day 8 is underway and it won't be long now until we know who our November Nine are as we're playing down to the final table today. There have been some early eliminations and Makievskyi has now amassed a huge stack of 33m, 10m more than current second place in chips, Irishman Eoghan O'Dea.

WSOP Main Event Day 6
Chips flew, shorties doubled, big stacks blew up and players hit the rail at an alarming pace. When it was all said and done, day 6 of the 2011 WSOP Main Event had 85 casualties, 85 ruined dreams and 85 long, long walks down the corridors of the Rio.
Our top 5 chip leaders at the end of day 6 look like this:
Ryan Lenaghan 12.8m
Ben Lamb 9.98m
Matt Giannetti - 8m
Andrey Pateychuk - 7.2m
Phil Collins - 7.2m
The chip lead changed hands throughout the day but Lenaghan amassed a huge stack of nearly 13 million to take the biggest stack into day 7.
The field will play down to the final 3 tables today to give us our final 27.
2010 November Niner Joseph Cheong is gone, as are the popular Jean-Robert Bellande, Eli Elezra and all but one of the remaining women. There are some notable names among the remaining players though as Erick Lindgren, Sebastian Ruthenberg and Bryan Devonshire all made day 7.
The last woman standing is always the focus of some attention and there is usually a boyfriend or husband looking out for her on the rail. Erika Moutinho however has boyfriend David Sands on her table for company. Both players are alive going into day 7 and spent the last level of day at the feature table together.
Day 7 is now underway and the 57 remaining players are all now guaranteed $130,000 for their efforts. PokerStars players Andrew Brokos and Sebastian Ruthenberg have both busted in early play but you can see live updates at Pokernews and follow live coverage over at ESPN.

WSOP Main Event Day 5
Day 5 of the 2011 WSOP Main Event is in the books and it was a lively one with just over 140 players remaining from the 378 that started.
David Bach currently tops the leaderboard with over 4.7m in chips, closely followed by Pius Heinz and Kyle Johnson. Ben Lamb looks almost certain to wrestle the WSOP POY title from Phil Helmuth as he sits 5th in chips with over 4m. WSOPE counts towards POY so there is still a way to go, but I doubt anyone will be forgetting Lamb's name in a hurry regardless.
Three women managed to last the day and hopefully we'll see at least one go on a deep run. Of the three Bodog pro Amanda Musumeci is the most experianced with some solid online results and three cashes this WSOP.
Our day 4 chip leader Viswanathan failed to last the day after losing his 2m chip stack some time in the third level. Max Heinzelmann also busted after getting it in preflop with AA and losing, one would imagine much to the delight of one Shaun Deeb...
There are a host of big names still alive:
Sebastian Ruthenberg - 3.3m
Joseph Cheong - 2m
Jean-Robert Bellande - 1.2m (starting to wonder how long the line at the cage will be if he goes much deeper)
JP Kelly - 2.6m
Day 6 begins with 142 players set on lasting another day. Five levels are scheduled but there are rumours that number could be reduced to four

WSOP Main Event Day 4
Manoj Viswanathan ended day 4 above the 2 million chip barrier and was the only one to do so as the main event field burst the bubble to get to the money.
Our top 5 chip stacks line up as follows:
Manoj Viswanathan - 2.12m
Sam Barnhart - 1.93m
Pius Heinz - 1.89
Stephane Albertini - 1.87m
Daryl Jace 1.85m
378 players lasted the day and will be back for day 5. Among them are a host of notable pros including Kevin Saul, Eli Elezra, Jean-Robert Bellande, JP Kelly, and Erick Lindgren.
The 2011 WSOP Main Event bubble boy was Reza Kashani. After less than an hour of hand-for-hand play 2010 November Niner Joseph Cheong busted Kashani to send him to the rail empty handed. The actual bubble boy is never the one who misses out these days however, as Kashani was given a 2012 Main Event seat, so Dylan Linde is the poor guy who really goes away empty handed.
The remaining 693 players were all now guaranteed the $19,359 min-cash and the chips started to fly. Huge pots appeared all across the Rio and when the dust settled 378 players were able to last the day and maybe, just maybe, start to dream about coming back in November.
Day 5 is now underway and anyone looking at the biggest stacks will reconise a player who's managed to amass a huge stack of over 2 million: Max Heinzelmann - I can only assume he's using his image from what has to be one of the moet talked about hands of the WSOP Main Event so far.

WSOP Main Event Day 3 - Heinzelmann 6-bets Deeb
1,864 players made their way back to the felt for day 3 of the WSOP main event looking to build their stacks and last the day. The field was combined from day 2a and 2b so everyone was playing together for the first time.
Patrick Poirier emerged as the chip leader for the day with a hefty 1.3 million in chips. There were some other notables making in to day 4 with a big stack, including Peter Jetten (650k) and Sebastian Ruthenberg (890k).
The hand discussed in everyones wrap up of the day involved Shaun Deeb and Max Heinzelmann. Deeb is well known for his online results and 21 year old German pro Heinzelmann (also known by online name HotKarlMC) shot to poker fame after back to back second place finishes in the EPT earlier this year in Berlin and San Remo.
It's fitting then that the hand should be 6-bet preflop and the only real surprise is that somebody actually had AA. Deeb tabled the nuts and Heinzelmann rolled over the powerhouse that is A6. With the ESPN cameras rolling the flop was T6K giving Heinzelmann a little hope, the Q on the turn produced more outs to the chop and the 6 on the river game him the pot and all but busted Deeb.
I'll leave the commentary to others, but that is a truly fearless move. Playing that style and with that mindset only really comes to young guys with recent success who are on the top of their game.
Overall reports suggest that pokers big day on the small screen was well received. Lots of people on Twitter were positive about the action and what was covered by ESPN. It's a big year for poker and we could all do with a big story this summer.
The remaining 850 or so players return for day 4 with one thing on their mind: the bubble. Some will be pushing the smaller stacks hard, some will be holding on for the min cash - lets hope for another fast paced and entertaining day!

WSOP 2011 Main Event Day 1 (A-D)
Although the first days of the main event are a wonderful and exciting affair for the thousands of players who cram into the Rio to play them, it's nothing that can't be handled in a single blog post, so here's a recap of the four day 1's:
Day 1 A
Players: 897
Remaining at end of day: 560
Biggest stack: Fred Berger - 210k
Notable eliminations: Doyle Brunson, Greg Raymer
Other notables: Matt Affleck (made deep runs last two years, cried, poor guy)
Day 1 B
Players: 985
Remaining at end of day: 600
Biggest stack: Ben Lamb (who else, hope he binks and takes POY) - 190k
Notable eliminations: Michael Mizrachi, Noah Schwartz
Other notables: None? Boring day...
Day 1 C
Players: 2,181 (!!)
Remaining at end of day: around 1,300
Biggest stack: Kevin Song - 163k (interesting that the biggest field has the smallest chip leader)
Notable eliminations: Ms. Ellen Deeb (91 year old grandmother of Shaun Deeb)
Other notables: Helmuth finishes on 12k
Day 1 C
Players: 2,802
Remaining at end of day: around 1,800
Biggest stack: Maynard Little - 180k
Notable eliminations: Tom Dwan, Antonio Esfandiari, David Williams
Other notables: Jamie 'best bluffer in the world' Gold (82k) Darvin Moon (48k)
WSOP 2011 Main Event Totals
Field: 6,865
First prize: $8,700,000
Total prize pool: $64,531,000
Places paid: 693
Min cash: $20k
We have our final numbers as the player tally reaches a line busting 6,865. Many people's predictions for the first post Black Friday WSOP Main Event were in the mid 5k's, so congratulations if you took the over. I thought they'd struggle to make it to 6k with the absence of the usual online qualifiers, but if would appear, for this year at least, that the WSOP will go on regardless.
There are other factors of course - that 'one final shot at a big score before I have to go get a job' outlook many have spoken of, the 'I have my $100k PokerStars bankroll sitting in my current account' crew and the 'Online whatdidyousay?' crowd.
That wraps up the day ones in a quick and easy format. Around 4,500 players remain and Day 2a starts today with around 2,000 players back at the felt to try to last another day with something resembling a stack.
Next update after the completion of Day 2b.

WSOP Day 38 - WSOP Main Event Arrives
WSOP Day 38 is the one that has been marked on the calender by most as the first day of the WSOP Main Event. Four starting days will see thousands of players descend on the Rio with dreams of playing well, running good and returning in November to play it out for the bracelet like 2010 winner Jonathan Duhamel.
Meanwhile however, there are still prelims to finish up as the hard stop rule forced the end of play in two remaining events.
The last big field NL event was paused three handed as Event #56: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em saw Hasan Anter finish the day with a large chip lead over fellow survivors Andy Philachack and Nemer Haddad.
Event #57: $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo Split also fell victim to the hard stop rule as David Bach and Nick Binger failed to decide a winner. They will return on day 38 to play it out for the bracelet and the $400k first prize.

Event #57: $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo Split also fell victim to the hard stop rule as David Bach and Nick Binger failed to decide a winner. They will return on day 38 to play it out for the bracelet and the $400k first prize.
