Level 15Jul 13, '07 Hard to Kill Poetic; One Champ DownIn the movie Hard to Kill, Steven Segal mentions that "the anticipation of death is worse than death itself." Former main event champion, Robert Varkonyi probably knew what he meant by the those words in the last level. Varkonyi pushed all in from middle position for his last $200,000 and was called by Mickey Seagle. Varkonyi showed A  5, and Seagle had him in bad shape with A Q. Then the dealer called out, "All-in and call!" to alert the ESPN cameras. It took several minutes while Varkonyi had to wait in agony as his inferior cards simply sat on the table. Seagle sealed the deal as the flop came down K J 10 , giving him Broadway. The turn was the K, and the river was a small needle as the 5 fell, offering Varkonyi a measly small pair for his exit. Nolan Dalla announced Varkonyi's exit in 177th place. There are now three main event champions still alive: Berry Johnston ('86), Huck Seed ('96), and Scotty Nguyen ('98).Dario Gets a Big Boost On a flop of 7 5 4 Deb Blair bets out $75,000, and Dario Minieri makes the call. The 3h comes on the turn, Blair bets $200,000, Minieri pushes all in over the top quickly, and Blair nearly beats him into the pot for her last $949,000. Minieri has her drawing dead though holding J 6 to her 10 10. The river is an inconsequential 2, and Minieri is vaulted back up, well over the 2 million chip mark.All Skill Roy Winston moved all in on a A Q 10 board, and was called by Brock Parker. Parker was looking for a miracle as he was in horrible shape holding A Q to Winston's Q Q. As the players waited for the ESPN cameras, a player at the other end of the table jokingly asked Winston, "You gotta teach me how to do that." The turn and river found no Ace for Parker and he was eliminated.Big Hand Receving one of the warmer rounds of appaluse from the remaining players was blind player Hal Lubarsky, who remarkably finished in 193rd place. His accomplishment has not gone unnoticed and will serve as inspiration to other players with similar impairments, hoping to one day play at the World Series.

Yeah I Won This Tournament Once Often lost in the shuffle of larger-than-life personalities is the quiet, unassuming Robert Varkonyi. Many may attack his skills on the felt, but it should not be forgotten that this man caused Phil Hellmuth to have to shave his head. One player at his table certainly underestimated him. On a board of Q Big Pot For Rolf Slotboom got a whole lot healthier chipwise in the last level, when he found himself on the nicer side of a cooler. Slotboom made a reraise to the action from the player in Seat 1 at his table, and was then tapped by Seat 1 in response. Slotboom made the call for his last $54,300, and went through the roof when Seat 1 flipped J Keep It In The Family For Now Todd Brunson is still surviving today, but one of his clan that seems to be receiving very little fanfare is his sister Pamela Brunson. Pamela is currently sitting at about $103,000 in chips. Some of her good fortune could be contributed to one of her card protectors., her father’s Zippo, with a Ghostbuster’s Logo, They Never Believe Me In the last hand before the break, the player in seat 3 at Bill Edler’s table announced before the deal that this was the hand to steal, as he was in the big blind, and had barely more than $20,000 in chips. The table folded around to Edler on the button, who raised to $6,000, Seat 3 then moved all in, and Edler called. Seat 3 showed Notable Chip Counts

The flop came down A 8 5 and the big blind checked to Wiggins, who bet $3,000. The big blind called and the turn brought the 8. Once again, the big blind checked and Wiggins bet $5,000. His opponent looked around Wiggins stack and made a shocked face when he saw Wiggins decently sized stack of $5,000 orange chips. Apparently undeterred, he announced all-in. Wiggins thought for a moment before calling with A K. His opponent revealed the 8 7 for trips and despite the K on the river giving Wiggins top two, he still took a huge hit. Alaei In Control Daniel Alaei has been picking up tons of small pots preflop and on the flop, winning a few thousand in each hand without having to showdown. He did win one large pot this hour. Short stack Andrew Wiggins got it all-in preflop with A Q only to have Alaei pick up A A. The board came down A 4 3 8 Q, and despite picking up a nut flush draw on the turn and making top two, Wiggins was eliminated from the tournament. Sick Hand With a flop of Q 5 4 the player in the big blind checked to Team PokerStars member Vanessa Rousso, who bet $5,000. The big blind reached into his deep stack of $5,000 orange chips and brought out three, raising to $15,000. Rousso counted down her stack and eventually decided to min-raise to $30,000, leaving her with roughly $27,000 behind. The big blind moved all-in and Rousso exploded in frustration. "Can this really be happening? Can I get off this?" Her opponent only smiled as Rousso continued to talk out the situation. "I've already been busted three times from a WSOP event this year by set over set." Eventually she made a crying call with the 5 5 and her opponent indeed turned over the Q Q for the higher set. The turn and river improved neither player, and Rousso was eliminated from the event after being in an incredibly tough spot. Jesus Gives To The Poor Robert Varkonyi raises to $2,500 from late position and is reraised by Chris Ferguson to $7,500. He makes the call and the flop comes K Q7 and Varkonyi moves all in for $19,000. This sends Ferguson deep into the tank. As he is thinking Phil Gordon comes over, and sweats the action. Ferguson finally calls and shows down JJ. Varkonyi tables AK, and the next two card brick. Play Ends Play has ended for the night, the boards currently read 680 players remaining. That number will be revised as the bagging process ends, and the official numbers come in. Cardplayer.com will pick back up tomorrow with coverage of day 1D starting at noon, Player Tags: Daniel Alaei, Robert Varkonyi, Vanessa Rousso, Andrew Wiggins, Cory Ferguson Night CourtJul 08, '07 Jesus Channels AcesA player limped in early position and it is folded to Chris "Jesus" Ferguson who raises to $2,000 from the small blind. The limper makes the call and the flop comes J 42. Jesus checks and the limper bets out $1,000. Jesus raises to $5,000, and the limper makes the call. The turn is 6 and Jesus bets out $7,000. The limper asks the dealer to count the pot, the makes the call. The river is the 10, Jesus bets out $15,000 and the limper folds. Jesus then shows AA before he tosses into the muck.Im ??? James Overheard from Kenna James to Amnon Filippi after James won a pot, "How long do these guys think they can step on me? I'm Kenna James....Bitch!" Insider Info Melissa Hayden and Chris Ferguson are having quite an interesting conversation regarding pretty much everyone in the poker industry. So far they have covered topics ranging from Gavin Smith and Joe Sebok's jester prop bet to Mike Matusow's life habits. Interestingly quiet in the conversation is Robert Varkonyi , who clearly is not in the poker "loop." Dicken Chips Up With a board of 10 9 4 7 3 Darrell "GigaBet" Dicken bet $16,000. His opponent called and mucked when revealed A 10. Good Sportsmanship With so many hands played every day here at the World Series of Poker, bad beats are bound to happen. When you get all the money in with aces against tens and the board comes down J-9-8-7-2, its hard to keep your composure. A surprising amount of players this year have exhibited incredible self control and all around good etiquette after being eliminated. Perhaps all of the television coverage of players melting down after taking a beat has actually brought about a change for the better, giving players an example of what they don't want to be like. Whatever the cause, many players this year have learned to take their bad-beat eliminations in stride, and the poker world is better for it. Notable Chip Counts
Player Tags: Chris Ferguson, Kenna James, Mike Matusow, Robert Varkonyi, Joe Sebok Night TrainJul 08, '07 Blinds UpBlinds have risen to $300-$600 with a $75 ante for level 5. Tran Takes Some Hits J.C. Tran and a three opponents saw a flop of 10 10 3. After two checks the middle position limped bet $4,200 and Tran called. The other two folded and the turn brought the 10/ Tran bet $6,000 and his opponent said, "Catching aot of flops, huh?" He then pushed all-in for $12,000 more, saying, "You got a ten, you got me beat." J.C. Tran called after a moments thought and revealed the 8-8. His opponent tabled 9-9 and dragged the pot. Later Tran called an all-in preflop with A K. His opponent held J J for the lead, but the flop brought the A 10 8 and Tran took the lead. The 4 changed improved neither player, and Tran's opponent was down to two outs. The J on the river was one of them, and the short stack player put another dent in Tran's stack while doubling up. Boutin Busts $5,000 pot-limit omaha rebuy champion Burt Boutin was eliminated this past hour. Robert Varkonyi Doubles A player in seat five raises to $2,000 and Robert Varkonyi makes the call. The flop comes Q 52, and seat five bets $3,000. Varkonyi asks for a count of the player (who clearly has Varkonyi covered) then raises to $9,000. Seat five makes the call and the turn brings the 5. Seat five checks and Varkonyi moves all in for his last $9,800. Seat five insta-calls with 99 Varkonyi shows J10 for the flush. The river is the 2 and Varkonyi doubles up.Amnon Filippi Takes Out Two Seat eight moves all in for $6,200 and is called by a player in seat two who is covered. Amnon Filippi makes the call on the button with K J and has both players covered. Seat eight tables A7, and seat two AQ. The board comes K83104, giving Filippi a pair of kings and the best hand. He now has over $75,000 in chips.Katja Thater Thater a team Pokerstars who is regarded as one of the best woman players has put of shop at her table. She is currently perched upon her chair, in a statuesque manner. You can see her focus as she diligently follows the action from player to player. She is currently shortstacked, but if she manages to chip up watch out for her to make a legitimate run at the bracelet. Player Tags: J.C. Tran, Burt Boutin, Amnon Filippi, Robert Varkonyi, Katja Thater Hour Five RecapJul 08, '07 Official Numbers The tournament officials just made the announcement that there were 1743 players registered for Day 1C. This is the largest “Day 1” so far this year, and with more than 1400 already signed up for the last “Day 1” there will be more than 6,000 players at this year’s Main Event. Tough Draw Melissa Hayden is seated at the table adjacent to her boyfriend, five-time bracelet winner Allen Cunningham, however that can be the only good thing about her table draw as it contains two past Main Event Champions Chris Ferguson (‘00) and Robert Varkonyi (’02). One More Time Its happened again, Mike Matusow has officially blown up. Matusow moved all in against his opponent’s preflop $1,100 raise for his last $10,000, only to have his pocket threes run into pocket Jacks. Matusow exited the tournament, much to the disappointment of many adoring railbirds. Danneman Giving Information On a K Thater Receives Recognition Nolan Dalla took time to recognize the larger number of female players doing well at this year’s tournament. He singled out the first female player to win an open event since Annie Duke in 2004, PokerStars team member Katja Thater, 2007 Razz Champion. She gets a nice round of applause from the tournament field. Notable Chip Counts
Player Tags: Chris Ferguson, Mike Matusow, Robert Varkonyi, Melissa Hayden, Steve Dannenmann, Katja Thater First Break of the DayJul 08, '07 The first level of play has come and gone on day 1C and the players are on a 20 minute break. A large percentage of the field is still hanging around and few tables have been broken. The pace of play is slower today than on the other day ones, a possible consequence of the large starting field.While some of the players in today's field may be intimidated by the hype of the World Series of Poker, more seasoned players are using that to their advantage and picking up a lot of dead money. Phil Ivey seems to punish almost any player at his table that dares play a pot with him. In true Ivey fashion, he has been consistantly collecting small amounts of chips with preflop raises. Ivey's table presence is allowing him to dominate his table, but with Joe Cassidy in the one seat, it may only be a matter of time before Ivey gets caught. Daniel Alaei, known for being a quiet person at the table, was not enjoying his table draw early in the day. Seated at adjacent tables were Greg Raymer, Jose Canseco and Humberto Brenes, all attracting their fair share of attention from the media and ESPN cameras. Sticking to his game, Alaei has been able to ignore the chaos and build his stack to over $30,000. Following a preflop raise from Alaei, the players in seats nine and four called. The flop came K 10 6 and the player in seat nine led out with a bet of $800. Seat four folded and Alaei called. Both players checked the turn of 9 and the river brought out the 4. Both players again checked and Alaei showed 7 7. The player in seat nine angrily mucked because it was not the first pot that Alaei had taken away from him.Rapper/actor Nelly had a brief but eventful showing today at the World Series of Poker. Hounded by cameras all day, shortly before the break Nelly was eliminated. Nelly pushed all in with K-9 on a king high board and was called by an opponent who had flopped two pair. The pair turned into a boat on the turn and Nelly got to steppin' in his Air Force 1's. As the few tables broke in the first level, an interesting draw put Main Event winners Chris "Jesus" Ferguson ('00) and Robert Varkonyi ('02) sharing the felt at table 66. Paying close attention to the two former champions was Allen Cunningham on table 65. Cunningham is a favorite in any tournament he is playing and with one bracelet already this summer, many believe this year may be his year. Cunningham has already built his stack to $31,000 and has no signs of slowing down. Some well known players have already moved up the chip leader board and the current unofficial chip leader is Darrel "Gigabet" Dicken with $42,000. Close behind are J.C. Tran ($32,000), Eliah Ahmadian ($33,000), Gavin Griffin ($38,000) and Allen Cunningham ($31,000). To get a true feel for how any tournament is going, you have got to hear directly from the players on the floor. In our Pro Blogs section you can hear from J.C. Tran, 2003 Main Event champion Chris Moneymaker, renowned actor Jason Alexander and Shannon Shorr on how their day is going and what it is like to play in the $10,000 World Series of Poker Main event.

Many big name professionals and celebrities were in the mix as players took their seats. It took a mere 23 minutes for the first bustout to be announced, which rustled cheers from the crowd. Cheers were also heard when some of the past WSOP champions were introduced. There was an intermingling of cheers and boos for the declaration of Jose Conseco’s participation. Light heavyweight champion of the world, Antonio Tarver, announced to the crowd, “Just so you know, this is the only chance you have to knock me out.” Music star Nelly was one of the day one contestants as well; it appeared that the diamond-encrusted watch he was wearing could have paid for every single player in the room’s buy-in. Poker regular, Jason Alexander, was another one of the stars to add an additional level of excitement to the room.

The 3h comes on the turn, Blair bets $200,000, Minieri pushes all in over the top quickly, and Blair nearly beats him into the pot for her last $949,000. Minieri has her drawing dead though holding J 6 to her 10 10. The river is an inconsequential 2, and Minieri is vaulted back up, well over the 2 million chip mark.All Skill Roy Winston moved all in on a A Q 10 board, and was called by Brock Parker. Parker was looking for a miracle as he was in horrible shape holding A Q to Winston's Q Q. As the players waited for the ESPN cameras, a player at the other end of the table jokingly asked Winston, "You gotta teach me how to do that." The turn and river found no Ace for Parker and he was eliminated.Big Hand Receving one of the warmer rounds of appaluse from the remaining players was blind player Hal Lubarsky, who remarkably finished in 193rd place. His accomplishment has not gone unnoticed and will serve as inspiration to other players with similar impairments, hoping to one day play at the World Series.

Tran Takes Some Hits J.C. Tran and a three opponents saw a flop of 10 10 3. After two checks the middle position limped bet $4,200 and Tran called. The other two folded and the turn brought the 10/ Tran bet $6,000 and his opponent said, "Catching aot of flops, huh?" He then pushed all-in for $12,000 more, saying, "You got a ten, you got me beat." J.C. Tran called after a moments thought and revealed the 8-8. His opponent tabled 9-9 and dragged the pot. Later Tran called an all-in preflop with A K. His opponent held J J for the lead, but the flop brought the A 10 8 and Tran took the lead. The 4 changed improved neither player, and Tran's opponent was down to two outs. The J on the river was one of them, and the short stack player put another dent in Tran's stack while doubling up. Boutin Busts $5,000 pot-limit omaha rebuy champion Burt Boutin was eliminated this past hour. Robert Varkonyi Doubles A player in seat five raises to $2,000 and Robert Varkonyi makes the call. The flop comes Q 52, and seat five bets $3,000. Varkonyi asks for a count of the player (who clearly has Varkonyi covered) then raises to $9,000. Seat five makes the call and the turn brings the 5. Seat five checks and Varkonyi moves all in for his last $9,800. Seat five insta-calls with 99 Varkonyi shows J10 for the flush. The river is the 2 and Varkonyi doubles up.Amnon Filippi Takes Out Two Seat eight moves all in for $6,200 and is called by a player in seat two who is covered. Amnon Filippi makes the call on the button with K J and has both players covered. Seat eight tables A7, and seat two AQ. The board comes K83104, giving Filippi a pair of kings and the best hand. He now has over $75,000 in chips.Katja Thater Thater a team Pokerstars who is regarded as one of the best woman players has put of shop at her table. She is currently perched upon her chair, in a statuesque manner. You can see her focus as she diligently follows the action from player to player. She is currently shortstacked, but if she manages to chip up watch out for her to make a legitimate run at the bracelet. Player Tags: J.C. Tran, Burt Boutin, Amnon Filippi, Robert Varkonyi, Katja Thater Hour Five RecapJul 08, '07 Official Numbers The tournament officials just made the announcement that there were 1743 players registered for Day 1C. This is the largest “Day 1” so far this year, and with more than 1400 already signed up for the last “Day 1” there will be more than 6,000 players at this year’s Main Event. Tough Draw Melissa Hayden is seated at the table adjacent to her boyfriend, five-time bracelet winner Allen Cunningham, however that can be the only good thing about her table draw as it contains two past Main Event Champions Chris Ferguson (‘00) and Robert Varkonyi (’02). One More Time Its happened again, Mike Matusow has officially blown up. Matusow moved all in against his opponent’s preflop $1,100 raise for his last $10,000, only to have his pocket threes run into pocket Jacks. Matusow exited the tournament, much to the disappointment of many adoring railbirds. Danneman Giving Information On a K Thater Receives Recognition Nolan Dalla took time to recognize the larger number of female players doing well at this year’s tournament. He singled out the first female player to win an open event since Annie Duke in 2004, PokerStars team member Katja Thater, 2007 Razz Champion. She gets a nice round of applause from the tournament field. Notable Chip Counts

A large percentage of the field is still hanging around and few tables have been broken. The pace of play is slower today than on the other day ones, a possible consequence of the large starting field.While some of the players in today's field may be intimidated by the hype of the World Series of Poker, more seasoned players are using that to their advantage and picking up a lot of dead money. Phil Ivey seems to punish almost any player at his table that dares play a pot with him. In true Ivey fashion, he has been consistantly collecting small amounts of chips with preflop raises. Ivey's table presence is allowing him to dominate his table, but with Joe Cassidy in the one seat, it may only be a matter of time before Ivey gets caught. Daniel Alaei, known for being a quiet person at the table, was not enjoying his table draw early in the day. Seated at adjacent tables were Greg Raymer, Jose Canseco and Humberto Brenes, all attracting their fair share of attention from the media and ESPN cameras. Sticking to his game, Alaei has been able to ignore the chaos and build his stack to over $30,000. Following a preflop raise from Alaei, the players in seats nine and four called. The flop came K 10 6 and the player in seat nine led out with a bet of $800. Seat four folded and Alaei called. Both players checked the turn of 9 and the river brought out the 4. Both players again checked and Alaei showed 7 7. The player in seat nine angrily mucked because it was not the first pot that Alaei had taken away from him.Rapper/actor Nelly had a brief but eventful showing today at the World Series of Poker. Hounded by cameras all day, shortly before the break Nelly was eliminated. Nelly pushed all in with K-9 on a king high board and was called by an opponent who had flopped two pair. The pair turned into a boat on the turn and Nelly got to steppin' in his Air Force 1's. As the few tables broke in the first level, an interesting draw put Main Event winners Chris "Jesus" Ferguson ('00) and Robert Varkonyi ('02) sharing the felt at table 66. Paying close attention to the two former champions was Allen Cunningham on table 65. Cunningham is a favorite in any tournament he is playing and with one bracelet already this summer, many believe this year may be his year. Cunningham has already built his stack to $31,000 and has no signs of slowing down. Some well known players have already moved up the chip leader board and the current unofficial chip leader is Darrel "Gigabet" Dicken with $42,000. Close behind are J.C. Tran ($32,000), Eliah Ahmadian ($33,000), Gavin Griffin ($38,000) and Allen Cunningham ($31,000). To get a true feel for how any tournament is going, you have got to hear directly from the players on the floor. In our Pro Blogs section you can hear from J.C. Tran, 2003 Main Event champion Chris Moneymaker, renowned actor Jason Alexander and Shannon Shorr on how their day is going and what it is like to play in the $10,000 World Series of Poker Main event.

Many big name professionals and celebrities were in the mix as players took their seats. It took a mere 23 minutes for the first bustout to be announced, which rustled cheers from the crowd. Cheers were also heard when some of the past WSOP champions were introduced. There was an intermingling of cheers and boos for the declaration of Jose Conseco’s participation. Light heavyweight champion of the world, Antonio Tarver, announced to the crowd, “Just so you know, this is the only chance you have to knock me out.” Music star Nelly was one of the day one contestants as well; it appeared that the diamond-encrusted watch he was wearing could have paid for every single player in the room’s buy-in. Poker regular, Jason Alexander, was another one of the stars to add an additional level of excitement to the room.

Level 15Jul 13, '07 Hard to Kill Poetic; One Champ DownIn the movie Hard to Kill, Steven Segal mentions that "the anticipation of death is worse than death itself." Former main event champion, Robert Varkonyi probably knew what he meant by the those words in the last level. Varkonyi pushed all in from middle position for his last $200,000 and was called by Mickey Seagle. Varkonyi showed A 5, and Seagle had him in bad shape with A Q. Then the dealer called out, "All-in and call!" to alert the ESPN cameras. It took several minutes while Varkonyi had to wait in agony as his inferior cards simply sat on the table. Seagle sealed the deal as the flop came down K J 10, giving him Broadway. The turn was the K, and the river was a small needle as the 5 fell, offering Varkonyi a measly small pair for his exit. Nolan Dalla announced Varkonyi's exit in 177th place. There are now three main event champions still alive: Berry Johnston ('86), Huck Seed ('96), and Scotty Nguyen ('98).Dario Gets a Big Boost On a flop of 7 5 4 Deb Blair bets out $75,000, and Dario Minieri makes the call. The 3h comes on the turn, Blair bets $200,000, Minieri pushes all in over the top quickly, and Blair nearly beats him into the pot for her last $949,000. Minieri has her drawing dead though holding J 6 to her 10 10. The river is an inconsequential 2, and Minieri is vaulted back up, well over the 2 million chip mark.All Skill Roy Winston moved all in on a A Q 10 board, and was called by Brock Parker. Parker was looking for a miracle as he was in horrible shape holding A Q to Winston's Q Q. As the players waited for the ESPN cameras, a player at the other end of the table jokingly asked Winston, "You gotta teach me how to do that." The turn and river found no Ace for Parker and he was eliminated.Big Hand Receving one of the warmer rounds of appaluse from the remaining players was blind player Hal Lubarsky, who remarkably finished in 193rd place. His accomplishment has not gone unnoticed and will serve as inspiration to other players with similar impairments, hoping to one day play at the World Series.

Yeah I Won This Tournament Once Often lost in the shuffle of larger-than-life personalities is the quiet, unassuming Robert Varkonyi. Many may attack his skills on the felt, but it should not be forgotten that this man caused Phil Hellmuth to have to shave his head. One player at his table certainly underestimated him. On a board of Q Big Pot For Rolf Slotboom got a whole lot healthier chipwise in the last level, when he found himself on the nicer side of a cooler. Slotboom made a reraise to the action from the player in Seat 1 at his table, and was then tapped by Seat 1 in response. Slotboom made the call for his last $54,300, and went through the roof when Seat 1 flipped J Keep It In The Family For Now Todd Brunson is still surviving today, but one of his clan that seems to be receiving very little fanfare is his sister Pamela Brunson.

Some of her good fortune could be contributed to one of her card protectors., her father’s Zippo, with a Ghostbuster’s Logo, They Never Believe Me In the last hand before the break, the player in seat 3 at Bill Edler’s table announced before the deal that this was the hand to steal, as he was in the big blind, and had barely more than $20,000 in chips.

The flop came down A 8 5 and the big blind checked to Wiggins, who bet $3,000. The big blind called and the turn brought the 8. Once again, the big blind checked and Wiggins bet $5,000. His opponent looked around Wiggins stack and made a shocked face when he saw Wiggins decently sized stack of $5,000 orange chips. Apparently undeterred, he announced all-in. Wiggins thought for a moment before calling with A K. His opponent revealed the 8 7 for trips and despite the K on the river giving Wiggins top two, he still took a huge hit. Alaei In Control Daniel Alaei has been picking up tons of small pots preflop and on the flop, winning a few thousand in each hand without having to showdown. He did win one large pot this hour. Short stack Andrew Wiggins got it all-in preflop with A Q only to have Alaei pick up A A. The board came down A 4 3 8 Q, and despite picking up a nut flush draw on the turn and making top two, Wiggins was eliminated from the tournament. Sick Hand With a flop of Q 5 4 the player in the big blind checked to Team PokerStars member Vanessa Rousso, who bet $5,000. The big blind reached into his deep stack of $5,000 orange chips and brought out three, raising to $15,000. Rousso counted down her stack and eventually decided to min-raise to $30,000, leaving her with roughly $27,000 behind. The big blind moved all-in and Rousso exploded in frustration. "Can this really be happening? Can I get off this?" Her opponent only smiled as Rousso continued to talk out the situation. "I've already been busted three times from a WSOP event this year by set over set." Eventually she made a crying call with the 5 5 and her opponent indeed turned over the Q Q for the higher set. The turn and river improved neither player, and Rousso was eliminated from the event after being in an incredibly tough spot. Jesus Gives To The Poor Robert Varkonyi raises to $2,500 from late position and is reraised by Chris Ferguson to $7,500. He makes the call and the flop comes K Q7 and Varkonyi moves all in for $19,000. This sends Ferguson deep into the tank. As he is thinking Phil Gordon comes over, and sweats the action. Ferguson finally calls and shows down JJ. Varkonyi tables AK, and the next two card brick. Play Ends Play has ended for the night, the boards currently read 680 players remaining. That number will be revised as the bagging process ends, and the official numbers come in.

The limper makes the call and the flop comes J 42. Jesus checks and the limper bets out $1,000. Jesus raises to $5,000, and the limper makes the call. The turn is 6 and Jesus bets out $7,000. The limper asks the dealer to count the pot, the makes the call. The river is the 10, Jesus bets out $15,000 and the limper folds. Jesus then shows AA before he tosses into the muck.Im ??? James Overheard from Kenna James to Amnon Filippi after James won a pot, "How long do these guys think they can step on me? I'm Kenna James....Bitch!" Insider Info Melissa Hayden and Chris Ferguson are having quite an interesting conversation regarding pretty much everyone in the poker industry. So far they have covered topics ranging from Gavin Smith and Joe Sebok's jester prop bet to Mike Matusow's life habits. Interestingly quiet in the conversation is Robert Varkonyi , who clearly is not in the poker "loop." Dicken Chips Up With a board of 10 9 4 7 3 Darrell "GigaBet" Dicken bet $16,000. His opponent called and mucked when revealed A 10. Good Sportsmanship With so many hands played every day here at the World Series of Poker, bad beats are bound to happen. When you get all the money in with aces against tens and the board comes down J-9-8-7-2, its hard to keep your composure. A surprising amount of players this year have exhibited incredible self control and all around good etiquette after being eliminated. Perhaps all of the television coverage of players melting down after taking a beat has actually brought about a change for the better, giving players an example of what they don't want to be like. Whatever the cause, many players this year have learned to take their bad-beat eliminations in stride, and the poker world is better for it. Notable Chip Counts

Later Tran called an all-in preflop with A K. His opponent held J J for the lead, but the flop brought the A 10 8 and Tran took the lead. The 4 changed improved neither player, and Tran's opponent was down to two outs. The J on the river was one of them, and the short stack player put another dent in Tran's stack while doubling up. Boutin Busts $5,000 pot-limit omaha rebuy champion Burt Boutin was eliminated this past hour. Robert Varkonyi Doubles A player in seat five raises to $2,000 and Robert Varkonyi makes the call.

Yeah I Won This Tournament Once Often lost in the shuffle of larger-than-life personalities is the quiet, unassuming Robert Varkonyi. Many may attack his skills on the felt, but it should not be forgotten that this man caused Phil Hellmuth to have to shave his head. One player at his table certainly underestimated him. On a board of Q Big Pot For Rolf Slotboom got a whole lot healthier chipwise in the last level, when he found himself on the nicer side of a cooler. Slotboom made a reraise to the action from the player in Seat 1 at his table, and was then tapped by Seat 1 in response. Slotboom made the call for his last $54,300, and went through the roof when Seat 1 flipped J Keep It In The Family For Now Todd Brunson is still surviving today, but one of his clan that seems to be receiving very little fanfare is his sister Pamela Brunson. Pamela is currently sitting at about $103,000 in chips. Some of her good fortune could be contributed to one of her card protectors., her father’s Zippo, with a Ghostbuster’s Logo, They Never Believe Me In the last hand before the break, the player in seat 3 at Bill Edler’s table announced before the deal that this was the hand to steal, as he was in the big blind, and had barely more than $20,000 in chips. The table folded around to Edler on the button, who raised to $6,000, Seat 3 then moved all in, and Edler called. Seat 3 showed Notable Chip Counts

The flop came down A 8 5 and the big blind checked to Wiggins, who bet $3,000. The big blind called and the turn brought the 8. Once again, the big blind checked and Wiggins bet $5,000. His opponent looked around Wiggins stack and made a shocked face when he saw Wiggins decently sized stack of $5,000 orange chips. Apparently undeterred, he announced all-in. Wiggins thought for a moment before calling with A K. His opponent revealed the 8 7 for trips and despite the K on the river giving Wiggins top two, he still took a huge hit. Alaei In Control Daniel Alaei has been picking up tons of small pots preflop and on the flop, winning a few thousand in each hand without having to showdown. He did win one large pot this hour. Short stack Andrew Wiggins got it all-in preflop with A Q only to have Alaei pick up A A. The board came down A 4 3 8 Q, and despite picking up a nut flush draw on the turn and making top two, Wiggins was eliminated from the tournament. Sick Hand With a flop of Q 5 4 the player in the big blind checked to Team PokerStars member Vanessa Rousso, who bet $5,000. The big blind reached into his deep stack of $5,000 orange chips and brought out three, raising to $15,000. Rousso counted down her stack and eventually decided to min-raise to $30,000, leaving her with roughly $27,000 behind. The big blind moved all-in and Rousso exploded in frustration. "Can this really be happening? Can I get off this?" Her opponent only smiled as Rousso continued to talk out the situation. "I've already been busted three times from a WSOP event this year by set over set." Eventually she made a crying call with the 5 5 and her opponent indeed turned over the Q Q for the higher set. The turn and river improved neither player, and Rousso was eliminated from the event after being in an incredibly tough spot. Jesus Gives To The Poor Robert Varkonyi raises to $2,500 from late position and is reraised by Chris Ferguson to $7,500. He makes the call and the flop comes K Q7 and Varkonyi moves all in for $19,000. This sends Ferguson deep into the tank. As he is thinking Phil Gordon comes over, and sweats the action. Ferguson finally calls and shows down JJ. Varkonyi tables AK, and the next two card brick. Play Ends Play has ended for the night, the boards currently read 680 players remaining. That number will be revised as the bagging process ends, and the official numbers come in. Cardplayer.com will pick back up tomorrow with coverage of day 1D starting at noon, Player Tags: Daniel Alaei, Robert Varkonyi, Vanessa Rousso, Andrew Wiggins, Cory Ferguson Night CourtJul 08, '07 Jesus Channels AcesA player limped in early position and it is folded to Chris "Jesus" Ferguson who raises to $2,000 from the small blind. The limper makes the call and the flop comes J 42. Jesus checks and the limper bets out $1,000. Jesus raises to $5,000, and the limper makes the call. The turn is 6 and Jesus bets out $7,000. The limper asks the dealer to count the pot, the makes the call. The river is the 10, Jesus bets out $15,000 and the limper folds. Jesus then shows AA before he tosses into the muck.Im ??? James Overheard from Kenna James to Amnon Filippi after James won a pot, "How long do these guys think they can step on me? I'm Kenna James....Bitch!" Insider Info Melissa Hayden and Chris Ferguson are having quite an interesting conversation regarding pretty much everyone in the poker industry. So far they have covered topics ranging from Gavin Smith and Joe Sebok's jester prop bet to Mike Matusow's life habits. Interestingly quiet in the conversation is Robert Varkonyi , who clearly is not in the poker "loop." Dicken Chips Up With a board of 10 9 4 7 3 Darrell "GigaBet" Dicken bet $16,000. His opponent called and mucked when revealed A 10. Good Sportsmanship With so many hands played every day here at the World Series of Poker, bad beats are bound to happen. When you get all the money in with aces against tens and the board comes down J-9-8-7-2, its hard to keep your composure. A surprising amount of players this year have exhibited incredible self control and all around good etiquette after being eliminated. Perhaps all of the television coverage of players melting down after taking a beat has actually brought about a change for the better, giving players an example of what they don't want to be like. Whatever the cause, many players this year have learned to take their bad-beat eliminations in stride, and the poker world is better for it. Notable Chip Counts
Player Tags: Chris Ferguson, Kenna James, Mike Matusow, Robert Varkonyi, Joe Sebok Night TrainJul 08, '07 Blinds UpBlinds have risen to $300-$600 with a $75 ante for level 5. Tran Takes Some Hits J.C. Tran and a three opponents saw a flop of 10 10 3. After two checks the middle position limped bet $4,200 and Tran called. The other two folded and the turn brought the 10/ Tran bet $6,000 and his opponent said, "Catching aot of flops, huh?" He then pushed all-in for $12,000 more, saying, "You got a ten, you got me beat." J.C. Tran called after a moments thought and revealed the 8-8. His opponent tabled 9-9 and dragged the pot. Later Tran called an all-in preflop with A K. His opponent held J J for the lead, but the flop brought the A 10 8 and Tran took the lead. The 4 changed improved neither player, and Tran's opponent was down to two outs. The J on the river was one of them, and the short stack player put another dent in Tran's stack while doubling up. Boutin Busts $5,000 pot-limit omaha rebuy champion Burt Boutin was eliminated this past hour. Robert Varkonyi Doubles A player in seat five raises to $2,000 and Robert Varkonyi makes the call. The flop comes Q 52, and seat five bets $3,000. Varkonyi asks for a count of the player (who clearly has Varkonyi covered) then raises to $9,000. Seat five makes the call and the turn brings the 5.

Tran, Burt Boutin, Amnon Filippi, Robert Varkonyi, Katja Thater Hour Five RecapJul 08, '07 Official Numbers The tournament officials just made the announcement that there were 1743 players registered for Day 1C. This is the largest “Day 1” so far this year, and with more than 1400 already signed up for the last “Day 1” there will be more than 6,000 players at this year’s Main Event. Tough Draw Melissa Hayden is seated at the table adjacent to her boyfriend, five-time bracelet winner Allen Cunningham, however that can be the only good thing about her table draw as it contains two past Main Event Champions Chris Ferguson (‘00) and Robert Varkonyi (’02). One More Time Its happened again, Mike Matusow has officially blown up. Matusow moved all in against his opponent’s preflop $1,100 raise for his last $10,000, only to have his pocket threes run into pocket Jacks. Matusow exited the tournament, much to the disappointment of many adoring railbirds. Danneman Giving Information On a K Thater Receives Recognition Nolan Dalla took time to recognize the larger number of female players doing well at this year’s tournament. He singled out the first female player to win an open event since Annie Duke in 2004, PokerStars team member Katja Thater, 2007 Razz Champion. She gets a nice round of applause from the tournament field. Notable Chip Counts

A large percentage of the field is still hanging around and few tables have been broken. The pace of play is slower today than on the other day ones, a possible consequence of the large starting field.While some of the players in today's field may be intimidated by the hype of the World Series of Poker, more seasoned players are using that to their advantage and picking up a lot of dead money. Phil Ivey seems to punish almost any player at his table that dares play a pot with him. In true Ivey fashion, he has been consistantly collecting small amounts of chips with preflop raises. Ivey's table presence is allowing him to dominate his table, but with Joe Cassidy in the one seat, it may only be a matter of time before Ivey gets caught. Daniel Alaei, known for being a quiet person at the table, was not enjoying his table draw early in the day. Seated at adjacent tables were Greg Raymer, Jose Canseco and Humberto Brenes, all attracting their fair share of attention from the media and ESPN cameras. Sticking to his game, Alaei has been able to ignore the chaos and build his stack to over $30,000. Following a preflop raise from Alaei, the players in seats nine and four called. The flop came K 10 6 and the player in seat nine led out with a bet of $800. Seat four folded and Alaei called. Both players checked the turn of 9 and the river brought out the 4. Both players again checked and Alaei showed 7 7. The player in seat nine angrily mucked because it was not the first pot that Alaei had taken away from him.Rapper/actor Nelly had a brief but eventful showing today at the World Series of Poker. Hounded by cameras all day, shortly before the break Nelly was eliminated. Nelly pushed all in with K-9 on a king high board and was called by an opponent who had flopped two pair. The pair turned into a boat on the turn and Nelly got to steppin' in his Air Force 1's. As the few tables broke in the first level, an interesting draw put Main Event winners Chris "Jesus" Ferguson ('00) and Robert Varkonyi ('02) sharing the felt at table 66. Paying close attention to the two former champions was Allen Cunningham on table 65. Cunningham is a favorite in any tournament he is playing and with one bracelet already this summer, many believe this year may be his year. Cunningham has already built his stack to $31,000 and has no signs of slowing down. Some well known players have already moved up the chip leader board and the current unofficial chip leader is Darrel "Gigabet" Dicken with $42,000. Close behind are J.C. Tran ($32,000), Eliah Ahmadian ($33,000), Gavin Griffin ($38,000) and Allen Cunningham ($31,000). To get a true feel for how any tournament is going, you have got to hear directly from the players on the floor. In our Pro Blogs section you can hear from J.C. Tran, 2003 Main Event champion Chris Moneymaker, renowned actor Jason Alexander and Shannon Shorr on how their day is going and what it is like to play in the $10,000 World Series of Poker Main event.

Many big name professionals and celebrities were in the mix as players took their seats. It took a mere 23 minutes for the first bustout to be announced, which rustled cheers from the crowd. Cheers were also heard when some of the past WSOP champions were introduced. There was an intermingling of cheers and boos for the declaration of Jose Conseco’s participation. Light heavyweight champion of the world, Antonio Tarver, announced to the crowd, “Just so you know, this is the only chance you have to knock me out.” Music star Nelly was one of the day one contestants as well; it appeared that the diamond-encrusted watch he was wearing could have paid for every single player in the room’s buy-in. Poker regular, Jason Alexander, was another one of the stars to add an additional level of excitement to the room.

Not Enough PlayJun 07, '07 Players are dropping at a very quick rate. Just beginning the second level it was announced that 120 alternates had already been seated. Joe Cassidy, Robert Williamson, Shawn Sheikhan, and Jean-Robert Bellande were among those alternates. With only ten minutes left to register the tournament director even got a laugh from those still in the field. As he was asking if anyone was still interested in entering, making a note of how many alternates were already seated, joking, “There’s a lot of bad players in this field so you’ll want to enter.” In a six-handed event, starting hand values go up considerably as you cannot afford to wait for premium hands with the blinds moving around the table almost twice as fast as in a full-table tournament. Thus margin for error in the beginning of a low buyin tournament is increased greatly. One mistake, even if its not for all your chips, puts you into desperation mode. Several notable names have fallen in the last hour in those same circumstances. Barry Greenstein found himself signing a copy of his book, after he was all in with A In his own words Young Phan found himself “In trouble” after he raised all in with 10 Several players aren’t finding such misfortune. Mark “Newhizzle” Newhouse has chipped up to $11,500 already today, and Lee Watkinson, sandwiched between Robert Varkonyi and Jennifer Tilly, has built his $3,000 in starting chips to $7,500. We will have the official numbers and payouts as soon as they are available.
