WSOP Main Event Final Table Airing - November 9 - Six Handed
November 9 has begun its almost live airing. Reiss currently has the chip lead with 67M, Farber 49M, JC Tran 27M, Loosli 27M, McLaughlin 11M, and Leahavot 10M. Brummehulis finish 7th and earns $1.1M. Benefield finishes 8th and earns $944,650 and Newhouse was the first out earning $733,224. The play has been pretty standard. I haven't seen much bluffing. Tran was doing most of that, when he started off as the chip leader, but has slid into 3rd place and is less active. There have been sever pocket Aces and Kings. The first all-in was Q's vs K's. The Q's held up by flopping a set saving Benefiled from going out first. Leahavot had a lot more chips, but he blundered a hand in which he was firing at pre-flop, turn, and then shut down on the river and checked! Farber called him down and check the river in position and won the hand by rivering an Ace on a nut flush draw. But, got luck on the river and won the hand. Had Leavhot bet out, this big pot would have gone to him. The pot had 19M chips and he should've shoved even though it was a bluff, because he had only 22M in chips. NOw he has slid down to last after losing that pot and the blinds have essentially crippled him. He is at 9.7M with the blind at 600K/1200K and antes 100K. Supposably the best player, because he is an online phenom is McLuaghlin. He is apparently known as the "Raptor" online, but has only been able to execute one move for most of this table, shove all-in! He has been able to gain some chips, but no one has called him to double him up or end him. So, we shall see how it all shapes up. Tomorrow the tournament will continue airing and a new Champion should be crowned. The $500,000 bracelet along with a payoff of $8.3M will be handed over to the winner. If you love poker, this is the event to watch since all hands are shown and no hands are shown until the hand is over. The next time it airs, it will be edited, so this is the only opportunity to say you saw it live!
