By: Eddie Yak

Toss in John Spadavecchia, Tony Guoga, David Plastik and Ralph Perry and you have one tough final table. All players will be given $20,000 in chips to start with to play on levels lasting 120 minutes each. Event fund raising can be a great joy if you find the right event to promote. During a level featuring the game Omaha 8/OB, Ram Vaswani and Brett Jungblut had to split a pot when both drew the nut full house Aces full of Kings with no possible low. But what made Event #34 so special is that Phil Hellmuth won his 10th WSOP gold bracelet, placing him in front of the pack with Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan who also hold 10 bracelets each. And Mike Matusow were busted, so no one had to worry about Matusow making good on his earlier bet by running the Amazon room "buck naked" if Phil became the winner. They could play in WPT satellites where the winner gets a $12,500 package to WPF Foxwoods Main Satellite that includes buy-in, flights, accommodation and $500 spending money. Stands for Hold’em (both Limit and No-Limit), Omaha High-Low Split, Razz, Seven-Card Stud and Eight or Better. In order to handle such a large turnout, the field of players was split up into 4 groups of 2,000 players with additional alternates for each day. He sat down with only 13,000 only to lose his last $1,000 chip to Chip Reese. This year online poker players don't have to become couch potatoes to see some World Poker Tournament action. There are many key aspects to consider before you can hope to have any real success. This seemed to be quite a bit short of the record setting 2,138 entrants who came to the tables in 2006 on it's Day 1A. If you were there, the most lengthy ones begin with, 'I had pocket Aces and...', accompanied with looks ranging from sad to angry. Take last year's WPT Foxwoods event that lasted 4 days with four hundred and thirty-one players battling it out for the ultimate title and everlasting poker glory. The goal for each player in the Amazon room is to last 6 levels a day and survive. But some individuals soon began to stand out from the crowd. For example, actor James Garner was in a hand with the board showing K 3 2 after the flop. Paul Wasika, Richard Lee and Rhett Butler combined an understanding of the game with the luck so many prayed for to gain massive piles of chips. And this year one online poker room sponsored a chimpanzee named Mikey the Chimp to play at the tables. Many players complained that the cards being dealt were marked as they were used from previous games. In the morning the heads up battle began with Chip Reese and Andy Bloch. Erik Friberg, Doug Kim and Dan Nassif took their skills from the Internet to the real tables after qualifying for their seats online which cost much less than the $10,000 entry fee many paid. Chip Reese who mentioned he would only compete in this and the Main Event played as if his intentions were to win both, reaching the final table with over 1,700,000 chips. The tournament round ended at 4:00 a.m which made for a long 16 hour day with 450 players that will move on to Day 2A. In the morning the heads up battle began with Chip Reese and Andy Bloch. Officials are saying that the last round tomorrow Day 1D should have the greatest number of players which may be 1800 plus. With the increase in numbers, there were more recognizable faces in the field at this round of the Main Event. Poker fans were able to watch the final table live through ESPN Pay-Per-View as well as on their V CAST enabled cell phones. For example, according to Harrah's the 2006 Main Event would have paid $22,266 for 873rd through 775th places, up from the range of $14,605 to $15,512 in 2006. Humberto is using a toy plastic shark as a card protector, and is telling everyone he meets what he knows about sharks during tournaments in this Series.
