WSOP 2007 Main Event Day 1A Continued

by Michael Keating
  • WSOP 2007 Main Event Day 1A

If you haven’t already done so, please take a minute and go to this earlier in the week post and select your choice to win the 2007 WSOP Main from a poll at the bottom of the post. 

If you want to see what has happened in the 1st 3 Rounds of Day 1A go here to Just Poker Talk for the earlier action details.

Or you can just start below:

Bust outs provided by: Poker News

  • 4th Round Notable Bust Outs
    • Thomas Wahlroos with his QQ bested when his opponent spiked a 9c.gif to make a set.
    • Eugene Todd was all in pre-flop and then his A10 was outkicked by Billy Baxter’s AQ after an Ace hit the flop and Eugene didn’t improve.
    • Nestor Martinez after leading in chips earlier on Day 1A was All-In with as.gif10h.gifand 3 other players called with kc.gifjc.gif,jh.gifjs.gif,and theac.gifqh.gifheld by Timten Oliver and when an AQ hit the flop Timten’s 2 Pair held up and sent Nestor and the 2 other callers to the rail.
  • Round 5 Notable Bust Outs
    • Allen Kessler with a cruel beat when his Pocket Aces were up against Pocket Qs and 4 spades hit the board including on the river the best card in the deck as.gif that gave his opponent the back door flush.
    • Terrence Chan when his Pocket 8s couldn’t improve to his opponents Pocket Ks.
    • Michael ‘The Grinder’ Mizrachi when his pre-flop All-In with Pocket Js was out drawn when his opponent hit a 8 on the flop to go with his Pocket 8s.

Your ’Dead Money’ blogger always struggles playing Pocket Js and seemingly always loses with them, so he has much sympathy for ‘The Grinder’. I guess it is some small consolation that he got his money in with the best hand. I can hear Norman Chad now, ‘That’s Poker’.

    • David Grey went All-In with KJ offsuit with his short stack. He was called by an opponent with ‘Bullets’ and was sent to the rail.
    • Liz Lieu when an opponent had Pocket 6s and hit a set on the flop.
  • Round 6 Notable Bust Outs
    • Victor Ramdin when his 8h.gif8d.gif didn’t improve against Mark Vos who showed qc.gifqs.gif.
    • Teddy Sheringham
    • Mike Sexton pushed his short stack in with A4 suited and was called by Joe Awada with an AJ. Mike missed an inside straight draw after the flop and now is free to entertain and explain the finer points of Hold’em as the WPT Host.
    • Mark Vos when his opponent’s nut flush came on the river.
    • David ‘Devilfish’ Ulliot
    • Vince Van Patten ready to join Mike at the WPT.
    • Joe Awada pushed all-in with Pocket 9s and was called by a larger stack with ‘Blick Slick’ and an Ace spiked ending Joe Awada’s Main Event.
    • Andrew Black after having the chip lead for a long period of Day 1A.

As play moved through the later rounds it appeared players tightened up to get to the end of Day 1A with some exceptions I am sure. I say this because eliminations slowed down considerably.  

Play has ended for Day 1A nearly 16 hours after it began including 6 two hour rounds and over 800 eliminations. For Day 1A Chip counts head over to Poker News.

About 450 players remain with somewhere around $57,200 the average chip count.

Trying to use my mathematically challenged brain it appears there were 1287 players on Day 1A. Don’t hold me to that though.
