Why Am I Still Here?


Author: Jeremiah Smith Tournament: 2007 WSOP
Published on: 05:28:38 on Jul 08, 2007

I just walked into the Media Room and some guy said to me, "What the @$#& are you doing here?"  He didn't ask me to pardon his French, either.  Even though he is from France. 

I digress.  I have made my final wandering of the night, and have noticed a few things:

1. Two PokerWire bloggers are seated next to each other
Thomas Fuller has the little known but succesful Joe Sebok seated to his immediate left.  They are both hovering around the 40k mark.  Sebok had shot up to 80k, but lost a tough hand when he held 98 and his opponent had K9 on a J9X9X board.  After playing every hand in the first few levels, Thomas decided to tighten up a bit and has been average-stacked most of the day.

 

2. Thomas Fuller's mentee has a few chips
I might have just made up a word, but Tom was the guy who introduced Paul Wasicka to poker.  Paul (along with Michael Binger) has proven that his performance in last year's main event was no fluke.  Actually, it's possible that he was a total luckbox who learned how to play since then.  But I doubt it.

3. It's a good day to be a friend of Paul Wasicka's
Actually, I'm not sure if they're housemates or leaches, but odds are since both Chris Viox and Doug Kim have a WSOP final table under their belt they are doing OK for themselves.  Doug finished 7th in last year's main event, and Viox took 3rd in a Pot-Limit tournament. 

They are both friend's of Paul's who are crashing at his place.  Even though he won...well a crapload of money, Doug has never played higher than 5-10 No-Limit.  And this is his very first tournament since last year's main event.    Doug has 72k and Viox has close to 130k.  Mandy Baker, a hometown friend of Tom and Paul (they're all from Colorado), is seated just a few tables away with over 50k.

Good Day for PokerWire Friends

Joe Sebok is close to winning his table at the $1,500 Shootout.  He's heads-up against Aaron Been.

Amnon Filippi has a dominating lead over Ben Johnson, while Thomas Fuller has Jen Harman outchipped 4-1.

Other winners include Michael Binger, Kirk Morrison, and Bill Chen, Daniel Negreanu, and Vince Van Patten.

Greg FBT Mueller is in third place with 175k in the $2,500 NL Holdem event, but the real story is chip leader Mike "The Mouth" Matusow.  The Mouth has steadily climbed upward today, and now has 260k.

In the 7-Stud 8OB tournament, Jeff Madsen continues to hover around the chip lead.  Perry Friedman and his strip of doom are a little shortstacked, and John Juanda rounds out the field for Full Tilters still left on Day 2.

$2500 horse

I'm about to start playing the first horse event of the 07 wsop. I didn't get enough sleep and I'm slightly hung over. So in addition to playing "horse" poker I plan on complaing about being in a tent and making fun of joe sebok's musical taste. -JDN

Joe Sebok's jacks are no good

James Van Alstyne raised to 4k, Ryan Hesser called in late position, and Joe Sebok reraised to 18k from the small blind.  Van Alstyne mucked and Hesser called.  Sebok bet 25k on the Qh6h5h flop and Hesser moved all in.  Sebok thought for a moment then called his remaining 38k.

Ryan Hesser AhQd

Joe Sebok JsJh

Hesser had top pair and Sebok was drawing to two outs. The 10h turn gave Hesser the nut flush, and Sebok was eliminated following the Ac river.
