Well another week of the 2010 WSOP is behind us and we continue to enjoy some fabulous poker. As we go into the mid way break we have completed 57 events. Here’s an update on events 23 through 33.
Event 23 was the $2,500 Limit Hold’em six handed game and Dutch Boyd of the United States took it home with a J 10 against Brian Meinders also a native who was holding an A 8. The hand and a little good old fashioned poker gave Boyd $234,065 to put in the bank.
Event 24 was the much anticipated $1,000 No-Limit Hold ‘em event was taken by Jeffrey Tebben who landed a hefty $503, 389 bank roll. Tebben’s K2 was enough to take JD McNamara’s pair of jacks in the head to head.
For the 25th event the pros stepped out. It was a $10,000 Omaha Hi-Low or Better Championship with Sam Fartha taking home the nearly half million in prize money. He did it with a J 9 7 4. But it was a close one runner up James Dempsey was holding a J 8 6 5. Talk about weird deals.
It was William Haydon of America was the main man in event 26. The $2,500 No Limit Hold’em Six Handed was won with an A J. Jeffrey Papola was runner up with his A 6. Things were close but Haydon went home with the $630,031 in prize money not to mention a pretty gold bracelet.
Event 27 was the $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low-98 event was taken by David Warga. He won the $208,682 over Maxwell Troy.
In Event 28 $2,500 Pot Limit Omaha and Miguel Proulx of Canada took home a nice new piece of jewelry as well just over $315,000. This victory was quickly followed by Matt Keikoan’s win over Daniel Idema in the $10,000 Limit Hold ‘em championship. The last time Keikoan got a bracelet was 2008 so this made for a nice comeback after last year’s early finish.
The winners for events 30, 31 and 32 have yet to be posted but winner of event 33, the $2,500 Pot Limit Hold em/Omaha, was Jose-Luis Veladorwith a low hand of 7 6. Hey who cares right? He got to take home over a quarter million dollars. It’s not about the hands it’s about the skills.
