jayistheman 0 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 its about an hour and a half of the more "exciting" scenes.... so if the tournament is about an hour, then they are gonna have to show EVERY hand...(and they still wont fill a whole slot).. and we all know the WPT hates to do that. that would be terribly boring... the high stacks will be bullying the blinds around until they pick up a weak ace or a low pair.... then to the rail they go.

robby850 0 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Once you get to the final 6 the WPT has its own structure to slow the pace. They add up the chips and then divide it by 200.. thats the blinds... they have had events when with 2 tables left the blinds were higher then when they get to the final 6...

KingAustin 0 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 they'll just have to show a LOT of "on the bubble" hands. They will probably interview some players. Link to post Share on other sites

Liras reaches, thinks, and fires 140,000. Negreanu can't believe his actions. He talks aloud and says this might be a stupid call. He finally works up the courage, calls, and asks if he has a pair. Liras doesn't move. He can't speak. Liras finally says no pair and Danny turns over 96s. The 6's win the pot.Sweet...thanks to www.wptinsider.com Link to post Share on other sites

akishore 0 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 From WPTInsider  The final table chip counts are ( I know that the numbers are switched from pokerwire.com - unable to determine which is correct):  1 - Michael Mizrachi - 515,000  2 - John Stolzmann - 517,000  3 - Chau Giang - 1,406,000  4 - Raja Kattamuri - 330,000  5 - Scotty Nguyen - 1,210,000  6 - Daniel Negreanu - 1,713,000these are still the correct chipcounts. they're just not sorted by the chips, they're probably sorted by table seating.aseem Link to post Share on other sites
rajmando 0 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 @Akishore starting field: 510 or 512 * 10.000 startingchip= 5.100.000 chips in play. So Dannys chips can only be 1.17 if you summon up the rest of the field. Link to post Share on other sites

Danny's journal entry for today shows that he has 1,173,000 so I am inclined to believe that is the correct number.Either way its a nice stack Good luck for today Danny!

Absolution 0 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Daniel is one of my favorite players but damn do this Scotty. Â No limit baby."Don't you know you don't need a hand to win baby?"He said that (maybe not exactly) during the broadcast of Championship Poker from the Plaza when he took down that pot with only a 4-flush.

MrConceit 0 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 is it just me or are phil ivey and phil hellmuth getting out early a ton these days???  It seems like in the past couple of poker tournaments ive been following and watching they keep getting out early.Well, I've read numerous places that Phil Ivey is intentionally playing a really fast-aggressive approach to either build chips or bust. He wants to either destroy the tourney or play in the lucrative cash games supposedly. Since he can make so much at the high end cash games.Check out http://www.barrygreenstein.com/pivey.htm and look specifically at the first _long_ paragraph. Ah heck, I'll quote the appropriate part, or some of it "And when he has played in a tournament event, he has played tired because of the cash game the night before. (I know because I have been in the games with him.) He also has had to adopt a style geared to build up quickly or get knocked out quickly during the event, so that he won’t wear himself out for the cash game later that night."As for Phil Hellmuth, we all know he's just all about making money off poker without playing poker nowadays, and he thinks he's god without having to try/practice. :)MrConceit Link to post Share on other sites

I really enjoyed that thread on wptinsider.com for this event, and now we are left hanging . . .6 months to tv?When are we going to start demaning more immediate coverage.
