+ Two former WSOP Champions successfully navigated their way through Day One "C" yesterday. 1983 WSOP Champ Tom McEvoy (pictured) and 2004 Sihoki Slot Champ Greg Raymer both survived and will play their Day Two on Wednesday.
+ Raymer had trouble getting traction for most of the day. At midnight, he was down to under 7,000 chips. But at 2:00am, Raymer cracked aces to get himself up over 30,000 chips. Raymer continued to build from there and ended the day with 48,500 chips.
+ Tom McEvoy will start Day Two with 39,025 chips.
+ Other notables making the cut yesterday were
+ More Fun with the All In Button
+ More on the Milwaukee’s Best Light All In Button.
+ Lady at a table yesterday, drinking Coronas by the way, saw a player make a huge over-bet, 3800 into a 600 pot. He was All In but without the flashy All In Chip move. She picks up her All In Chip and asks the dealer:
+ “OK, if I toss this All In Chip into the pot and lose the hand, I get it back right? It’s my world series souvenir. I want to give it to my husband.”
+ The dealer is a bit baffled by the question but recovers and says:
+ “Yes Ma’am, you will get that Chip back if you bust.”
+ She fakes the All In Button toss and smiles:
+ “OK then, I fold!”
+ As the very relieved All In player breathes a sigh of survival, our Corona Lady says:
+ “That’s a pretty big risk to take with those Pocket Jacks.”
+ The player, of course, sheepishly shows his Pocket Jacks. Nice hand, Sir. Nice read, Ma'am.
+ Reseating @ the WSOP: A better way
+ This is a good news/bad news commentary.
+ The good news is that with all the innovations taking place in and around our favorite game, there are cleary some very good changes being made. Changes that will make the game more fair, more open to new players and more enjoyable.
+ The bad news (and yes I have said this before) the powers that be at the World Series of Poker are reluctant to implement some of these changes, when as the premiere poker event in the world, they should be taking the lead. Here is yet another example.
+ Once again, this is an innovation developed by Tournament Director Jimmy Sommerfeld, this one having to do with reseating the players.
+ When players come back for a Day Two of the Main Event they will be reseated at new tables with a random draw. This is the way it has always been done but in the last year there has been a movement to add some fairness to the redraw. This new method is referred to as the "Sommerfeld Reseating Design." Here is how it works. First a seat number is drawn and the highest chip stack is put in that seat at the first table. The second biggest stack goes in that seat at table #2 and so on until that seat is filled at each table. A second seat number is drawn and the process continues in reverse order and so on goes until all seats are filled.
