Treacherous Tables in Rebuy by AdamJ on 06.26.08, 1:16 am

Many online players seemed a bit disgusted with their tables after players returned from an hour and a half dinner break in the 1k rebuy WSOP Event #44.

Richard “Lee Nickel” Fohrenbach lamented having to play at his table, playing with Jason “JCarver” Somerville and Jeff “yellowsub” Williams to his left.

Somerville was hating life even more as he said Williams, who was sitting two players his left, was “abusing” him. The two had a playful deamenor with each other as they made cracks on each other as P5’s was watching the action.

Somerville even tried to bribe P5’s to write something bad about Williams, even offering up a green 25 chip as compensation. P5’s scoffed at the offer, electing to wait for higher compensation!

Fohrenbach’s frustration didn’t get much sympathy from Adam “Roothlus” Levy, who walked over and talked about his table which included Shaun Deeb (21k), Theo Tran (75k), Scott “BigRiskky” Clements (45k), and Jordan “Octavian_C” Rich (13k).

This table was one of the more social tables, talking about many random poker stories capped off by who has broken more laptops.

After much discussion, Deeb mentioned that nobody has broken more than Chad “lilholdem954″ Batista, who has a tally Deeb confidently described as “double digits” piled up in his garage.

Joshua “pbdrunks” VanDuyn (pictured left) was battling a short stack of 10k at one of the more interesting tables left, playing alongside Mark Seif (98k), Minh “The Master” Nguyen, David Daneshgar (9k), and Jeremiah “Believer82″ Vinsant (25k).

Although VanDuyn’s situation seemed dire with about a third of the 30k average stack, it was much worse until he tripled up his 3k stack off of Vinsant when his kings held up against Vinsant’s AJ. Perhaps VanDuyn will need to borrow another colorful hat like the pink one he borrowed from JJ Lieu earlier in the day to improve his fortune.

Here’s a list of notable chip stacks during the 400-800-100 level with 198 of 879 left.

Jason Mercier - 73k

Eric “E-fro” Froehlich - 64k

Darrell “Gigabet” Dicken - 49k

Ben “bfineman” Fineman - 30k

Brett “bhanks11″ Hanks - 26k

Craig “MrCasino” Gray - 21k

Stu “TheDonator” Paterson - 20k

Adam “akat11″ Katz - 20k

Matt “All in At 420 Stout” - 18k

Scott “SCTrojans” Freeman - 9k
