Goin’ Deep
Tuesday, June 2, 2009 - Gene Bromberg
We’ll be playing poker deep into the night here at the Rio (most likely the action will last past the dawn). The $1,000 Stimulus No-Limit event has to crown it’s champion, the $10,000 Seven-Card Stud World Championship has to play down to a final table, and so does the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha tournament. One player hoping to playing long after the Amazon Room empties out is UltimateBet’s Matt Graham, who is one of the final 50 players alive in the PLO event. He’s already locked up a $4,285 payday but with 45,000 in chips (and actually it’s more than that, as from my vantage point on Media Row it looks like he just won a big pot) Matt’s in position to make a run at his second WSOP bracelet.
UPDATE: According to PokerNews Matt has 145,000, which is considerably more than 45,000. Told you he scooped a big pot.
UPDATE 2: Matt was eliminated in 30th place when he held Ac-Ad-5s-2c to Greg Pappas’ Kc-Kd-10c-7d. The money went in after the Qs-7h-3d flop and Matt in the lead, but the turn brought the 10h and Matt couldn’t re-take the lead as the river brought the 4d. Matt takes home $5,797.
