WSOP Main Event 2005 (Spoilers)
 

Created this thread just in case. Post any updates on the WSOP here.

so what I have to change the title of the other one to "non spoilers".

You might want to. People see a thread like that and will assume they can post spoilers. If you don't want spoilers in there, you might want to say so in the title.

"I've never had this happen to me before in my life," is how Jennifer Harman's 2005 WSOP championship starts. It begins with her picking up Q-Q. The board comes Qd-Jd-10c-10d-7d, a full house for Harman, but unfortunately for her, her opponent flips over 8d-9d. A runner-runner straight flush puts one of the field's toughest players on the ropes.

Welcome to my world.

I think it is hilarious that has never happened to her before.

Thunder Keller just went AK v AK and lost when the other guy made his flush on the river. He is down to 400 chips :)

HE HAS LESS CHIPS THAN SHANNON ELIZABETH!

can anyone post the sites they're using to follow along this year?

Pics Plz, Kthnx.

Why would someone go all in with AK this early on against someone with a similar chip stack?

Maybe they were both shortstacked. Or maybe the other AK was a donkey who had a history of overbetting PF with nothing. It's not a usual play, but there are circumstances in which it can be a good play.

His move sounds reasonable with the action as described:

Thomas "Thunder" Keller just took a huge blow to his stack. Keller and his opponent both held A-K. Both players made trip kings when the board brought 2 kings, but by the river there were also 3 spades on board. Keller's opponent had As-Ks. Keller is now down to a meager $400 in chips.

Jennifer Harman is out and Scotty Nguyen is on the ropes with only $2.1k

Keller and Harman now officially out.

Yeah that makes sense now. That's brutal, but not quite as brutal as Harman's defeat.

Wiseass.

twoplustwo.com - various forums - you have to dig, but a lot of members are playing and supposedly calling in live updates

This is the site I'm using: http://www.pokertrails.com

how much was the entry fee?

10 large

Is that $10,000, Vanilla?

word

proper

Raymer is "shortstacked and running bad."

Jesus pulled another miracle. He had pocket aces, and someone else hit two pair. Jesus rivered a board pair to survive and now has $15k.

Apparently Elmo is doing well so far. Mr. Noodle is shortstacked.

Raymer has been on quite a run at the feature table. He was down to $3,500 after getting his trips beat by a rivered full house. Now he's up to $43,000.

shannon elizabeth is up to 18k. She will be all over ESPN. Tilly is out. I wanna see Erin Ness naked

Lathum, where are you getting your info from?

It looks like it's coming from the cardplayer live updates blog.

Ummm....the guy had the straight flush on the turn. And a straight on the flop for that matter.

I wonder how much betting was done preflop. Should that guy have even been in that hand with 8d-9d? I guess we'll see in November.

i don't believe i've read a peep about Dan Harrington... any word on him?

edit: Ah, i now see that "Day One" is being stretched over three days, so i imagine he's not playing today.

Remember that only a third of the players play at all today.

I knew it was two last year, but for some reason i was working under the assumption that they'd relocated to somewhere that could handle everyone on day one. Clearly, that was not the case. Amazing that day one is now a three day ordeal.

dayum. Raymer on a mega rush. from 3.5K to 43K, all at the feature table.

Guess we're going to see a lot of him on the ME coverage :D

Cardplayer has Raymer with 58K and in second.

This is why you should've stayed awake for math class. Check out this hand:

Johnny Chan is out.

Josh Arieh is out. Everyone was really sad to see him go.

I'm weeping.

Chris Ferguson is out.

Since I had him as my ME winner, I truly was sad to see him go. Lots of carnage for our pool on first day.

Chan, Arieh, Ferguson, Greenstein, Seidel, Fischman, Forrest, H. Brenes, Devilfish, Harman are the names that I see out from our pool.

Other notables I hadn't seen listed in this thread that are out include David Grey, Mike Sexton, Harry Demetriou, Unabomber, Freddy Deeb, Carlos Mortenson, and Jennifer Tilly.

I think Kelleher is out too which hurts me.
