An Orbit with the the Current EPT10 Player of the Year Leader

Nível 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
David Benefield
David Benefield

David Benefield, a 27-year-old who made his name in the online poker realm, is one of the hottest players in the world right now. Not only is he a member of the 2013 World Series of Poker November Nine as the short stack in the Main Event final table, he currently leads the EPT10 Player of the Year Race. He afinished in fifth-place finish in the EPT10 Barcelona €50,000 Super High Roller for €208,150 and seventh in yesterday's EPT10 London €50,000 Super High Roller for €139,600.

We noticed Benefield was on a short stack of 4,650, and thought we'd spend an orbit with the pro. After all, he is the short stack in the November Nine, so we thought we might be able to get some insight on his short stack game.

Hand #1 (early position): The under-the-gun player folded and Benefield did the same.

Hand #2 (Under the Gun): Benefield folded.

Hand #3 (Big Blind): The cutoff folded and action folded to Benefield. He too folded.

Hand #4 (Small Blind): A player in middle position raised to 775 and Benefield folded.

Hand #5 (Button): A player in middle position raised to 700, the cutoff three-bet to 1,200, and Benefield folded. At this time, Benefield struck up a conversation with a member of the 2012 WSOP November Nine, Russell Thomas, who was quick to give Benefield some advice.

"Wear a watch," Thomas said. He then explained how many of last year's November Nine struck deals with watch companies where they received a watch in exchange for wearing one at the final table. According to Thomas, last year's runner-up, Jesse Sylvia (who is also playing in today's field), received a watch worth $20,000 last year.

"I did not foresee that," Thomas said before showing off his own watch and explaining that he had purchased it prior to the final table and learning of possible watch deals. John Juanda then joined the conversation and the three discussed the current sponsorship landscape in the poker industry.

Hand #6 (cutoff): Slaven Popov opened for 750 under the gun only to have Hong Kong's Elton Tsang three-bet to 1,800 from the hijack. Benefield folded, as did the rest of the field, and Popov moved all in for 11,000. Tsang snap-called with the {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}, which had Popov's {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} dominated. The board ran out {8-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{10-Hearts} and Popov hit the rail.

Hand #7 (hijack): After the blinds went up, action folded to Benefield and he released his hand. He then began to peruse watches on his mobile device.

Hand #8 (middle position): Two folds put action on Benefield and he once again tossed his cards to the muck.

Hand #9 (early position): Benefield folded.

Hey, we didn't say it was going to be exciting. If anything, it's a testament to Benefield's patience, which will no doubt come in handy come November.

As far as the EPT Player of the Year race is concerned, players will be able to accumulate points in all events throughout Season 10, regardless of the buy-in level. In addition, all of the Festival Events (Estrellas, UKIPT, Eureka, FPS, IPT) that combine with an EPT tour stop will be eligible for Player of the Year points. The winner of this season’s award will walk away with €50,000 in Main Event buy-ins, good for any PokerStars or Full Tilt sponsored event.

The Global Poker Index (GPI) points formula, which will be used to determine the EPT10 POY, is a bit complicated, but you can read about all the details here.

Here are the top ten on the EPT10 POY Leaderboard as of October 7:

Greenstein Wins Three-Bet Pot

Nível 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Barry Greenstein
Barry Greenstein

Barry Greenstein opened to 900 in middle position, Katie Swift, who earned her entry into the EPT10 London Main Event via a live satellite, three-bet to 2,550 in the cutoff. The action folded back to the Team Pro, who called, and the flop fell {9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. Both players checked.

The turn was the {7-Hearts}, Greenstein fired out 3,700, and Swift called.

A repeat nine - the {9-Diamonds} - completed the board, and Greenstein cooly flipped forward two blue T5,000 chips. Swift flicked her cards into the muck, and the three-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner pulled in the pot.

Vohra Vanishes

Nível 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Kyle Julius raised to 825 from under the gun, Raj Vohra moved all in for 3,350 on his direct left, and Majid Iqbal cold four-bet to 7,450 in middle position. The action folded back to Julius, who quickly folded.

Vohra: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Iqbal: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Iqbal won the race as the board came {4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, and Vohra hit the rail.

Shorr Loses One But Doing Very Well

Nível 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Shannon Shorr was just spotted with a large stack worth around 86,000, but while we were present he lost a decent sized pot.

Shorr raised from the button to 1,000 and the big blind called. The flop brought out {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{5-Hearts} and both players checked.

On the turn the {Q-Hearts} hit and this time the big blind lead out for 850 and Shorr called.

The river brought the {8-Clubs} and the big blind bet 2,600. Shorr paused, grabbed 10,200 chips and paused again. After 10 seconds Shorr grabbed chips for the call and tossed them over the line. The big blind showed {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and Shorr quietly mucked.

With 82,000 chips Shorr is still one of the big stacks in the room.

The Why of Kitai

Nível 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Davidi Kitai is up to a very healthy 95,000 after he bet 2,300 on the river of a {K-Clubs}{A-Spades}{J-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades} board then called a raise to 8,000 from Aidan Tam.

Tam said, "I have a pair of aces..."

Kitai showed {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and scooped another pot.

When Champions Collide

Kevin MacPhee
Kevin MacPhee

Kevin MacPhee's EPT dream is over in London. In a multiway pot against fellow EPT champion Tom Middleton, the latter bet 2,100 on a {K-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{8-Hearts} board only for MacPhee to move all in for about 12,000.

Middleton called with {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and avoided an almighty sweat against MacPhee's {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts} after a {10-Spades} turn and {5-Spades} river.

So that's Barcelona 1 Berlin 0.
