Day 3 ConcludesPosted 8 hours 32 minutes ago by ShamusJohnny ChanHe's won the WSOP Main Event twice already. Back-to-back, in fact, in 1987 and 1988. And darned near won it in again in 1989, finishing runner-up to Phil Hellmuth.And now, more than 20 years later, he's back making another Main Event run, having enjoyed the chip lead for much of Day 3. The Orient Express, charging from the past into the WSOP headlines today. Johnny Friggin' Chan.A number of different storylines wound their way through the Day 3 chapter of our ongoing chronicle of the 2010 WSOP Main Event. The 2,559 players who'd made it to today were swiftly narrowed to less than half that figure -- about 1,240 as the last hands were dealt -- with numerous notables hitting the rail while others began to build those gaudy, passers-by-stopping, eye-popping, jaw-dropping stacks of chips.Among the first to go today were Scott Seiver, Phil Laak, Jennifer Harman, Chris Moneymaker, David Williams, and Erik Seidel. They were followed by Kara Scott, Bill Chen, Daniel Negreanu, Vanessa Rousso, Joe Cada, Billy Kopp, Eugene Katchalov, John Hennigan, and Archie Karas.Meanwhile, we saw Alexander Kostritsyn, Kevin Gates, Ricardo Fasanaro, Paul Kristofferson, Chris Tipper, Jeffrey Ross, Nicholas Rainey, Andrew Brown, and James Carroll all taking turns swapping the chip lead back and forth as stacks surged past the 500,000-chip mark.There was one other interesting subplot from today that all will be watching when play resumes tomorrow. That of the four Mizrachi brothers -- Robert, Eric, Danny, and Michael -- all of whom made it through today. How far will they go?It looks as though James Carroll will be returning to the biggest stack tomorrow, having snuck past the 800,000-chip mark late in the day, with Imari Love, Gerasimos Deres, Max Casal, Josh Brikis, and Johnny Lodden all not too far behind.However, much of the talk will be about Chan -- also there near the leaders -- and whether or not he can sustain his performance of the first three days. Adding to the excitement will be the bursting of the cash bubble, which most anticipate will happen later in the day on Day 4.

We're in the Money and Dunst Leads the WayPosted 10 hours 58 minutes ago by BenConoleyTony Dunst leading the pack to end Day 4What a day.Nearly 12 hours ago, 1,203 poker players made their way through through the doors of the Amazon Room (along with a few dozen who started off in the Pavilion) to begin their quest to make the money.However, simple arithmetic dictated that about 450 of those hopefuls would be leaving with nothing at all. Some notable players who left the Rio $10,000 lighter include Matt Savage, JJ Liu, Kathy Liebert, Dave Sands, Annie Duke, Barry Greenstein, Adam Junglen, Erica Schoenberg and Robert Varkonyi.Of course the day has also been full of good news, especially for the 747 who secured themselves a place in the money. The $19,263 awarded to even the lowest cashers is still a significant amount of money to many people, especially those who found themselves in the Main Event after winning satellites, or who stand to cash in lucrative online incentives.One of the day's biggest highlights was seeing all four Mizrachi brothers make the money. While Eric was the first to go, it's hard for anyone to deny that the Mizrachi clan are having one heck of a Series. Don't count them out just yet, though. Robert, Michael and Danny are still alive and well.Last year's bubble boy was Kia Hamadani. We're happy to say that he survived well into the money this year. Unfortunately the same can't be said for Tim McDonald, who came in 748th place after his were unable to hold out against the of Ismail Erkenov. Don't feel too bad for McDonald, though. He'll be back next year with a free entry to the 2011 Main Event as his consolation prize for bubbling.Some players to keep an eye on for tomorrow include our chip leader Tony Dunst (1,546,000) as well as Phil Galfond (1,392,000), Garrett Adelstein (1,440,000), Duy Le (1,460,000), Theo Jorgensen (1,340,000) and Matt Affleck (1,395,000). Other notables who will be returning include Johnny Chan (1,159,000), Adam Levy (951,000), Alexander Kostritsyn (750,000), Praz Bansi (662,000), Scotty Nguyen (630,000) and Vanessa Selbst (435,000).Of course, our journey is hardly complete for the 574 players who will be returning tomorrow. They still have to make the final table, and then go on to take it down from there. Join us through the rest of the week as we play down to the November Nine. We've already met our eventual winner, now we just have to figure out who it's going to be.

Same old story thought he was all in but had 1 chip leftSalles Does it Again!Posted 2010-07-14 14:38 GMT-7 by FerricRamsiumGualter Salles -- down to just 1,000 chips an hour or so ago -- has just nearly doubled up once again. He found {A-Spades} {A-Clubs} this time, and Jacob Petersen shoved on him with {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}. Salles called the ~170,000 to put his man at risk, and the board of {4-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {7-Clubs} kept his aces safe.Petersen is out, and Salles is all the way back up to 405,000!

So in the all in hand, did he ever say that he was "all in". IF so, words are binding right. Or did he just move his chips to the center and the dude said call. i thought they had an all in button to alleviate these kinds of things?
