Slow Start To Main Event At WSOP; Hellmuth Falls Short Of Bracelet

July 7th, 2011

The World Series of Pokers main event is now under way, and it started slowly. As has been the case in years past, the first day did not attract as large a field as is expected in the remaining three day ones.

Only 897 players chose to start their November Nine push on day one of the main event. Of those players, there were many notable names, including Doyle Brunson. The legendary poker figure started and ended his WSOP main event run on Thursday, as did several other high profile players.

Among those who have fared well in the early stages of the main event, Sammy Farha and Eli Elezra stood out. John Cernuto, TJ Cloutier, and Kenny Nguyen all have upped their starting stacks since play began, and hundreds of other players remain.

WSOP Main Event Blog – Day 1A Level 4

July 6th, 2011

The final level of Day 1A is underway and approximately 640 players are back in their seats hoping to earn a spot into their Day 2 on July 11. Only a handful of players are playing with six-figure chip stacks and with the blinds at 200/400 with a 50 ante, they’re playing extremely deep. The beauty of the WSOP main event structure is the slow increases that allow participants more play during early action. Even if things haven’t gone your way today and you’re sitting with half the starting stack of 15,000, you would still feel rather comfortable at this level.

Although structure can dictate that pot sizes may be smaller, there have been a number of players who have taken some interesting and aggressive lines preflop.
