90 Left
by Court on 08.26.08, 2:45 am
There are now 10 tables left, playing 9 handed, meaning only 90 players remain in the legends of poker. Jared “TheWacoKidd” Hamby (right) was able to double up, Isaac “Mr. Menlo” Baron is hanging on, and many others are looking to increase their stack for day 3 play.
Hamby was able to double after a player opened preflop, he raised and she called. On the A
7
6 flop Jared led out for around a third of his stack and he was raised enough to put him all in. He called with his AQ and saw he was in great shape after flopping an ace against his opponents pair of kings in the hole. His hand held up on the turn and river and Hamby is now much healthier with around 130k.
Baron lost a coinflip after another player opened for 9k and Baron raised to 30k. The other player then moved in for a total of 43,900 and Isaac called. Baron’s AK
was up against the TT and on a 9 high board the tens held up to leave Baron with only 12k, representing 6 big blinds.
An aggressive Matt “Mattg1983″ Graham (left) bet 40k on the river of a KT53
5 flop and was called. Both players showed KQ suited to chop the pot. Hamby commented earlier on how well Graham was playing when they were seated together.
With 90 players left here is a list of some notable players still in the tournament: Layne Flack, Marco “CrazyMarco” Johnson, David Chiu, Erik Seidel, Barry “barryg1″ Greenstein, Tuan Le, Matt “Mattg1983″ Graham, Allen Cunningham, Erick Lindgren, Mark Seif, Ray Davis, Matt “Plattsburgh” Vengrin, Antonio Esfandiari, Lee Markholt, Amit “Amak316, Makhija, Isaac “Mr Menlo” Baron, Jared “TheWacoKidd” Hamby, Matt “All In At 420″ Stout, Max Pescatori, David Pham, Josh “pbdrunks” VanDuyn, and Kyle Wilson.
