WSOP Updates – David Chiu Faces Stiff (?) Compeititon

A skinny blonde kid looks at David Chiu, and says ‘You’re John Chiu, right?’. He barely looks old enough to enter high school, let alone a casino, but somehow he is sitting next to Chiu in front of a stack well over 100,000, the chip-leader at his table in day 2 of the WSOP.
“That’s DAVID […]

Team PokerNews’ Per Erik Loeff Knocks Out Scotty Nguyen, Builds Sizable Stack

As the first of two Main Event ‘Day Two’ sessions neared its close, one of the Team PokerNews players, Per Erik Loeff, made a big move up the chip standings.

WSOP Updates - Phil Ivey Survives, Annie Duke Grinds Forward

A number of big names continued to grind away as Day Two of the WSOP Main Event worked through the post-dinner session. Phil Ivey, with a little over $16,000 in chips as the day began, did what he could to stay in the hunt… and stay alive he has, gradually working his way up to […]

WSOP Updates: Notable Women: Day Two Flight B

Cream rises to the top and some talented women have risen up to start Day Two Flight B today. When it comes to women and the WSOP Championship event, it’s all about quality versus quantity.

WSOP Chip Counts - Selected Counts for Day Two ‘B’

Last night, the players of World Series of Poker Main Event Day 2 ‘A’ played all the way down to 570 players, even stopping early as it was clear they could get a little too close to the money to make it fair for the other day two. Day 1 ‘C’, and Day 1 ‘D’ […]

WSOP Updates – Following Some Favorites And Some Animosity

As the second Day Two for the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event kicked into action on Wednesday, the remaining 1600 players are battling to join the 500 or so survivors from yesterday’s warfare. As I checked around the room, there are still several prominent professionals still doing well and just a little bit […]

WSOP Updates: Daniel Negreanu Gets featured, and PokerNews Represents

Here are some updates from the first level today. Gareth Edwards, PokerNews Marketing Director, and member of Team PokerNews began the day with 75K and was a rock for the first two hours. His stack slipped slightly and then recovered and slipped slightly again and recovered again. He hit the first break today at 76K.
Unfortunately, […]

WSOP Updates - Freddy Deeb Takes Control

Freddy Deeb has an impressive track record as a professional poker player. A WPT Champion, owner of a World Series Bracelet, and with over $3 million in tournament poker winnings, he is considered a fearsome player on the felt. What Deeb is known for most, though, is his friendly demeanor around the felt and his […]

For Kathy Liebert, a Tough Second Day’s Task

It’s always a tough climb to the money, but some hills are sharper than others. Ask Kathy Liebert.
Liebert entered her second day of WSOP Main Event play, the ‘2-B’ session, with only $20,000 in chips. The good news is that it was double her starting stack of $10,000; the bad news is that $20,000 was […]

WSOP Updates – John Gale Climbs, Ted Forrest And Robert Varkonyi Fall

As afternoon fades into evening, the poker action is continuing in the Amazon Room at the Rio and, as John Gale noted to me, “The players are dropping quickly, aren’t they?” Gentleman John is indeed correct as half of the cavernous poker arena is now covered by the players in Day Two, Part Two and […]

WSOP Updates – Catching up with Paul Wolfe

Paul Wolfe, professional poker player and representative for Full Tilt Poker, has been around the WSOP since the first tournament.

Calling on the End

A prominent Internet poster has often stated that making tough folds on the river is not the way to make money in limit hold’em. Indeed, it is amusing to watch a player rapidly dump money into a pot on every round and then, with the pot being huge, suddenly go into deep thought when the […]

Shooting the Bull With ‘Amarillo Slim’ Preston

There is nothing in the world like the World Series of Poker. I don’t care how many Super Bowl games you attend, or Wimbledon or Masters tournaments if tennis or golf is your thing - you are not going to have a chance to shoot the breeze with a Super Bowl quarterback about how he […]

2001 World Series of Poker

Carlos Mortensen, a 29-year-old poker professional from Spain, is the 2001 world champion. After five days of making great calls and incredible bluffs, Carlos is the newest king of poker.
