WSOP Tournament of Champions In spite of having obtained the highest number of votes to participate in the Tournament of Champions at the WSOP, Phil Ivey could be notably absent from this event, as told Barry Greenstein and Phil Gordon the show ESPN’s “The Inside Deal.”

Greenstein and Gordon agree that the main problem that Ivey is not part of the ToC is the date scheduled, that matches both the beginning and at the end, with official events of the WSOP .

Ivey = ToC without headaches in the organization of the WSOP

As we all know, Ivey is very focused on winning more titles and it seems that the possibility of being the Champion of Champions not motivated enough to win his ninth bracelet. Perhaps the money in the form of betting would not be close parallel in the least to the $ 500,000 dollars for the winner of the ToC.

“Possibly the play, but what most concerns him is the possible overlap with other events that has many alternative bets,” said Bernard Lee Greenstein and Andrew Feldman, the show’s hosts. For his part, Phil Gordon said about it: “I heard that Ivey would not participate in the tournament because there are events with bracelets on the same day. But perhaps we could see him run a featured table to another.”

Gordon also suggested that a better date for carrying out the event would be during the weekend of the November Nine.

In relation to those elected to in ToC and the absence of players of the new school, Greenstein said he was satisfied with the persons elected, since “ the choice is based on years of play that support the careers of players

“.

Only three days remaining for the start of ToC and the truth is that the absence of the best player in the world would not fall at all well to the organizers and not be conducive to the event .

In a few days will go on sale magazine Times with an article by Dan Kadlec called “plot” Attack of the brats of mathematics .

Although the title seems to refer to bad horror movie,

the text recovers the classic dispute between two different approaches to poker: the mathematician, characteristic of the players online and is based on the famous readings and tells .

To represent the first approach, Kadlec as an example to

Jason ‘jaspuduf’ Lee, Justin Bonomo, Isaac Haxton , while representatives of the old school are Phil Hellmuth, Mike Caro and Doyle Brunson , who gives some interesting views on the current scene of poker.

“The reason why I won eleven bracelets was for my ability to read people. The new players are only focused on mathematics and they are changing everything,” said Hellmuth in the opening paragraphs of the article. For Phil to blame for that has had its first year of losses in 2009 are “math nerds, those who use databases of millions of hands to master the game.”

According to Kadlec, traditional poker players were taken by surprise by the new generation and are still searching how to adapt to the young. However, despite having taken the poker scene by assault, the new players still have not earned all the respect.

Mike Caro, author of several books on poker, says that, despite knowing more math, “young people are easier to read in a live game” and Doyle Brunson settles the issue and states that ” current tournaments have become a lottery “and therefore only play Holdem 10% of their sessions.

Again left open the famous debate live online vs. .

Behind Heimiller Juanda is Dan, who has not won a bracelet, with 190 points . Heimiller box has gone through five times and has reached two final tables, ranking second in event # 4 Omaha 8 / B

Are tied in third place with 180 points, Men Nguyen, Michael Mizrachi and James Dempsey , each with a bracelet to his credit. Mizrachi also is the more money the player has won far more than $ 1.6 million. The truth is that there is nothing definite yet on who will be the best player this year.

In 2009 Jeffrey Lisandro won the honor by amassing 355 points, thanks mainly to its three bracelets. This year the competition seems to be tougher, we’ll see if Juanda can keep his place or any other player in recent events than .

The bubble of the final table lasted more than three hours until Dani ‘Ansky’ Stern was able to stay with all the chips from Sam Stein, who finished the tournament in tenth place. Again Kwaysser was about half of chips in a table that provided complicated: the leader was Tom ‘kingofcards’ Marchese and Dani Stern, Matt ‘ADZ124′ Marafioti and Peter ‘Apathy123′ Jetten were among the players who were in the race for the title.

The little action there was to start the day and at the beginning of the final table had nothing to do when there were only four players. In just 45 minutes, Kwaysser removed its last three opponents and Matt Marafioti could do little against the huge stack of his rival.

In the last hand, with a flop J [trebol] 6 [pica] 10 [trebol], Marafioti bet his last points with K [trebol] 6 [trebol] and saw Kwaysser J [diamante] 8 [diamante]. Neither Q [pica] or the 7 [pica] helped ‘ADZ124′ who had to settle for second place, which earned him some boxes of its usual level.
