Log: Thomas "Thunder" Keller has been spotted at one of the Main Event Tournament tables even though he was busted out yesterday. CardPlayer.com went to investigate and found out that it is not Thomas Keller, but in fact Keller's identical twin brother, Sean "Lightning" Keller. "Lightning" has started off hot, obviously striking more than twice, as he has built his chip stack up to $32,000.Phil Hellmuth arrival:It was about two-and-a-half hours after the event had started, and a limousine pulled up to the Rio with an ESPN camera crew at the ready. They recorded his approach to the casino like he was a warrior going into battle. A few of the passersby clearly didn't know who he was or why he was here, but I imagine they thought he was headed for some dramatic heads-up title fight rather than a 5,600-to-1 free-for-all.

Stylin_Fish 0 Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 Date / Time: 2005-07-08 15:05:00 Title: Update From the Featured Table Log: The breaks are the only time we have to get accurate chip counts from the featured table. Sam Farha leads the table with $42,575, while Daniel Negreanu is in a deep hole with just $1,100 in chips. The blinds are increasing to $100-$200, so Negreanu will have to make a move very soon.We saw a lot of big comebacks yesterday. Will Daniel Negreanu be able to add his name to that list?

Stylin_Fish 0 Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 Date / Time: 2005-07-08 15:37:00 Title: A Deep, Deep Hole for Daniel Log: Daniel Negreanu is at the featured table with a single chip left -- one pink $500 chip. He's doing some one-chip tricks, which are pretty much limited to twirling it between his fingers. Daniel is taking the statement "all you need is a chip and a chair" a little to far. I'm sensing a major comeback and the dramatic story of the main event right here and right now.EDITSHIT!!!!Daniel Negreanu is OUT. Joe Awada has joined him on the rail as well. John Hennigan 10k Young Phan 31k Frank Sinopoli 11.5k David "Chino" Rheem 9kNice try Daniel. Link to post Share on other sites

Stylin_Fish 0 Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 Date / Time: 2005-07-08 16:04:00 Title: ALWAYS PROTECT YOUR HAND Log: This tournament has just had two simultaneous, brilliant examples of why you see players putting chips and various other objects on top of their hole cards. It's not just for show.Instance #1 - With the board showing A-J-8-J-2 a player with a made full house (8-8 in his hand) decides to posture for a bit. He stands up, and acts as if he's got a difficult decision to make. Finally he sits back down, picks up his cards, puts them in front of his chips, and starts to count out his bet. As he's counting, the dealer takes his cards and slides them into the muck. The man disputes the call, and the floor is called. The floor reinforces the dealer's explanation: it is the player's responsibility to protect his or her hand. Once a card has been mucked, it cannot be retrieved. The hand is dead.Instance #2 - Meanwhile, on another table, just as the dealer is explaining to the player in seat #1 that he should always protect his hand, the player in seat #2 attempts to fold, and accidentally tosses them on top of seat #1's cards. The floor's ruling is the same: always protect your hand. If your cards touch mucked cards, your hand is also dead. The player in this case was forced to leave his $200 call in the pot. In a show of remorse, seat #2 attempts to reimburse the man for his lost $200 bet, and although the floorman respects the decision, he also states that chip exchange is also illegal, and cannot occur.In both instances, all parties involved handled themselves with dignity and respect for tournament staff, despite the potential for emotional outbursts.

mark33f 0 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 While we're talking about champs, 03 champ Moneymaker has slimmed down a ton. The old Moneymaker you see on TV is gone, he's a lean mean poker machine now, sitting with 21.5k. Gary Jones 8k Phil Hellmuth 13k Mimi Rogers 9.5k Jordan "FellKnight" Devenport 37k Shane "Shaniac" Schleger 25kwww.pokertrails.com Link to post Share on other sites
RichBlaze 0 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 John Hennigan Eliminated Log: Tim Strayer raises preflop, and is called by John Hennigan. The flop comes 2-4-5. Hennigan bets, Strayer calls. The turn is a 5. Both players check. The river is another 4. Hennigan pushes all-in. Strayer calls. Hennigan shows 7-4 while Strayer shows A-4, outkicking Hennigan and knocking him out of the tournament. Should that have been a Split pot, i thought only 5 cards play unless i missed read it Link to post Share on other sites

bulldog999 0 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Sitting next to each other, Chris Moneymaker and Amir Vahedi have been exchanging some words. It's all in good fun, though Moneymaker is starting to take some issue with that fact that Vahedi is constantly raising on his big blind! Vahedi answers only with this "Yours is the easiest to steal." Link to post Share on other sites
