FCP Bob 1,312 Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 Money, HoneyThe 716 players who bought in this afternoon for $5,000 are playing for some pretty sweet cash. The total prize pool is $3.2 million, an impressive chunk of change the first major tournament held at the Mohegan Sun casino. The top 104 players get paid (a giant 14.5% of the field). That means one in five of the remaining players will at least walk away with a $2,500 profit. Here's how the payouts break down.1st $750,0002nd $428,0003rd $240,0004th $190,0005th $150,0006th $115,0007th $85,0008th $60,2449th-10th $47,00011th-12th $38,00013th-14th $29,00015th-16th $23,00017th-24th $19,00025th-32nd $16,00033rd-40th $13,50041st-48th $11,50049th-56th $10,50057th-64th $9,50065th-72nd $9,50073rd-80th $8,50081st-88th $8,50089th-96th $7,50097th-104th $7,500 Link to post Share on other sites

I_fold08 1 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 lolCantu Needs One More CardDavid Williams raised to 2,000 in middle position and Brandon Cantu popped it 7,000 on the button. John D'Agostino four-bet to 25,000 in the big blind and Williams folded.Cantu thought for about 20 seconds before telling the dealer, "I need my second card." The dealer had only dealt Cantu his first card and upon receiving the second card, Cantu folded.D'Agostino laughed and asked, "What the **** just happened?" Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,312 Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 9:09pm: Faraz Jaka is a sick, sick man Back in 2004, Ellix Powers etched himself a spot in poker history with his roaring exclamation of "He called me with jack high! JACK HIGH!" after playing a hand against Jim McManus in a WSOP limit hold'em event. Well, Mr. Powers, Faraz Jaka just called for half his stack with an even worse holding. And he was right. You want to talk about soul-reading? Talk to the man otherwise known as "the-toilet."The hand started off inconsequentially enough, Jaka opening for 2,000 from under the gun and earning two calls. The flop came down A♠6♣5♠. Jaka led out for 5,200 and one opponent called. The turn came the 3♥. Jaka bet another 5,200. His opponent tanked for a bit before making a sloppy call, one of his chips rolling off the table. The river brought the T♠, putting a possible flush on board. Jaka asked his opponent how much he had behind. The man cut down the 9,700 remaining in his stack. Jaka paused, then checked. His opponent instantly moved all-in. It was nearly half of Jaka's remaining chips to make the call. He didn't look like he wanted to do it. But Jaka sensed that something was amiss. He tossed in the 9,700 and the hands were revealed. Jaka 8♦9♥Unfortunate opponent 7♠8♣I'm sorry...what?"You are the sickest man alive!""That is the sickest hand I've seen live!""Oh my God!" "Oh my GOD!" Jaka's tablemates were utterly aghast as the hole cards went on their backs. Jaka's now-busted opponent slinked away as Mr. Soul-Read stacked up his 75,000 in chips. "You put him on 8-7? Really?" asked one of his tablemates. "Either that or a flush draw," Jaka shrugged. Link to post Share on other sites

gatortom64 1 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Confusion ReignsThere's a huge hubbub on Table 35 regarding stacks. All day so far "dead stacks" have been dealt to and blinded off. Brandon Adams just registered for the tournament, but instead of sitting down to a blinded-off stack, he somehow procured a full stack.A player at the table protested that Adams should be blinded off, that all stacks have been dealt to for all of the first two levels. A floor was summoned who ruled that Adams should have a set amount deducted from his stack before his first hand.Adams was incredulous. He wanted to know why, if late registration was allowed through Level 3, he shouldn't be given a full stack for his first hand of the tournament. (It turns out that late registration was only allowed through the end of Level 2, but somehow Adams showed up midway through Level 3.)The player that originally protested remarked that Adams had missed two and a half hours of play. Adam responded, "You don't know what you're talking about. I am 100% in the right here," which then devolved into a side debate wholly unrelated to the issue at hand.In the end, the decision went all the way to TD Rick Landry. He determined that Adams' stack should be blinded off by a total of 1,500 chips, putting an end to the debate. "You can't have the best of both worlds," said another player at the table. "If your cash was wired to the cage at the start, you should be blinded off. And if not, you shouldn't even be allowed to register at this point."Good call TD? Link to post Share on other sites
