Day One Comes to a Close: Shannon Shorr Leads The Pack

Escrito 2011-10-11 03:26 GMT+2 • Nivel 8

Shannon Shorr - Day One Chip Leader

Event #3 has come to a close with 49 players left from the starting field of 180. The man leading that field is Shannon Shorr with a stack size of 166,400. Shorr, who has just under $4 million in live tournament earnings has a fantastic poker resume but is missing a WSOP bracelet. Is Event #3 the one for Shorr? We are sure he will, be the first to admit that there is a long way to go, but he has a good enough chance as anyone.

Make sure you join us at 15:00 (CET) for Day Two where we will either play ten-levels or down to the final table (whichever comes first).

Phil Hellmuth - The Shades Are Off!

Four players shared a flop of and all checked. The turn was the and Phil Hellmuth immediately announced pot (6,400). Alexander Kuzmin made the call and the two of them both shared the river together. Hellmuth checked.

"Why check?" Kuzmin asked before betting 6,900.

Hellmuth took his shades off (a sure fire sign of a rant), "this is getting a little aggravating now…it was fun when I knew I was going to bust you…when you were playing so many pots…but now I have top set…this is no fun anymore," said Hellmuth before folding.

"Top set Phil…you have top set?" Queried Kuzmin before flashing for a lower set.
