Day 2, or 1B is underway at the WSOP
July 4th 2008 21:38
Day 1B seems to be much looser and tougher than 1A of the main event at the World Series of Poker. Not even an hour into the day, several stacks were above 40,000. Some of the best players are gone, including Daniel Negreanu at the feature table, who saw his set of sixes fall to a set of nines, Ted Forrest, and Andy Black.
A few others have taken early hits, including Jamie Gold, Kenny Tran, and Greg Raymer, but are surviving.
I can easily see the tournament winner coming from this group. To survive today is going to take a miracle just because of some of the aggressive play.
Some notable players in the field today include: Erick Lindgren, David Grey, Orel Hershiser,
Australian cricketer Shane Warne, Australian boxer Jeff Fenech, Tom McEvoy, Humberto Brenes (and his sharks), Robert and Olga Varkoni, Kenny Tran, and Kathy Liebert.
The players have hit the first 20-minute break and except for pocket kings busting out twice in the first few hands, there aren't too many exciting hands to talk about. A lot of it is aggresive play, fold type poker.
Again, very strong field today.
