WSOP 2010 | Report 1

Scotty Nguyen vs. David Sklansky And Adam Schoenfeld

Day 3 baby (Scotty Nguyen) of the WSOP, I really love this event, well, it *is* the main poker event. I’d be a douche if I did not like it. Right? Scotty Nguyen, the prince of poker, who won the main event in 1998, is still playing along for the new crown.

On his table he is rivaled by some other big names such as David Sklansky and Adam Schoenfeld. Talking his crap once again, he gets his reads from dominating the table with his blabber. Chuck Danielsson makes a raise with a J7, while Scotty has a nice A9, both off suit. Being in position Danielsson makes a bet on the flop, but Scotty check raises, he makes it look easy, but it isn’t, believe me.

Phil Laak vs. Dilan Thomassie

Phil Laak is all in and dominated, with 34% to win against the QQ of Dilan Thomassie. Having AQ suited, he is not in the best position. While he almost left with his little backpack already on, he hit the nut flush on the turn to stay a little while longer.

Bellande vs. Guy Thomas

Bellande playing against Thomas runs into the quad aces of Guy Thomas, on a 44AA7 board, he check raised the turn, and called a miniature bet on the river, claiming he had quad fours but believed his opponent had quad aces. What total bullshit, but hey, not everyone is as funny a Daniel Negreanu. Who quickly folds his Q on an ace high board, against a new young player called Carr, instructing him to go easy with his cards. The super good reader Daniel makes a bad read as he was “sure he had him beat” but ran into a 6 high bluff.

David Sklansky vs. Rony, Trips offer Carnage

David Sklansky is beat and thrown out by Rony, who flopped trips, and him needing running hearts doesn’t seem to make him very happy. The miracle doesn’t happen and one of the greatest minds of early holdem strategy once again fails to win the WSOP main event.

Chris Moneymaker, A Few Chips Lighter

Now a look at Chris Moneymaker, who needs an Ace on the board, having AK against KK. Fails to hit an ace and is a few chips lighter. Still hoping to win another WSOP after his big win in 2003. Johnny Chan, who has a really big stack at the moment against Bernstein shows 7′s full and takes the chip lead. Amazing!

More will be coming in a few days! Stay tuned!
