Poker Hall of Fame and Player of the YearNov 08, '10
Jeff Madsen won the 2006 WSOP Player of the Year award, but Harrahs felt that he wasn’t properly recognized for his achievement, winning two bracelets and scoring four top-three finishes overall. Ty Stewart took the mic and gave him his long overdue props, much to the delight of the crowd. The next player introduced was Frank Kassela, who was crowned the 2010 Player of the Year on Saturday when Michael Mizrachi was eliminated from the main event in fifth place. Kassela received $30,000 in tournament buy-ins for his accomplishment.
Doyle Brunson then came to the stage to introduce another inductee, Erik Seidel. Both were given long introductions about their poker past and then formally inducted. After each gave their acceptance speech, they were welcomed by standing ovations from the audience here in the theater. The final two heads up players will now be introduced before play resumes.

High Roller Heads-Up Report — Extra Day Added The £10,350 heads-up high roller event has reached the final match between Gus Hansen and Jim Collopy from an initial field of 103. The winner will take home the top prize worth £288,409 and the runner-up will take home £178,211 and some deflated hopes. First Match: The first round saw Hansen take control but Collopy held on to battle for quite some time before succumbing to a first-game loss. Second Match: This match started the same as the first with Hansen jumping out to a lead and Collopy struggling to catch up. Things went differently when he moved all in though. He doubled up twice to even up the chip counts and then he took control to win the second match and tie things up 1-1. When the score was evened it was 3 a.m. local time last night and the two decided to stop play and return today at a time to be determined. We will bring you updates from when play finally does begin anew and then keep you posted until a winner is crowned in this prestigious tournament.

The next player introduced was Frank Kassela, who was crowned the 2010 Player of the Year on Saturday when Michael Mizrachi was eliminated from the main event in fifth place. Kassela received $30,000 in tournament buy-ins for his accomplishment.
Doyle Brunson then came to the stage to introduce another inductee, Erik Seidel. Both were given long introductions about their poker past and then formally inducted.
